2019 NSSA Hunting Season Range Closures

Posted on by Posted in Archery, Hunting, Pistol, Ranges, Rifle, Skeet, Trap, West Range

It has been the policy in the past for all outdoor ranges to be closed during the first week of deer season, typically Monday after Thanksgiving until the following Saturday night.  However this year the PA Game Commission is opening deer season one extra day, Saturday November 30- but not Sunday December 1.
Therefore the NSSA Board of Directors has decided that the following closures will be in effect for this year:

  • All outdoor ranges will be closed Friday evening November 29 at dusk and will
    remain closed all day Saturday November 30.
  • Rifle, Pistol, and the West Range will remain closed until Sunday December 8.
  • Trap and Skeet will be open Sunday December 1 during regular hours, will be closed Monday December 2 thru Saturday December 7, and reopen Sunday December 8. In addition, Trap and Skeet will be open their regular evening hours after 5 PM (4 PM if there are no hunters signed into the Hunting Sign In Book).
  • Outdoor Archery will be closed from Saturday November 30 until Sunday December 8, except that it will be open Sunday December 1. There will be no closures of the indoor Archery Range.

Please understand that there is to be NO shooting of firearms during the range closures anywhere on NSSA property except in legal hunting. If you don’t have your firearm sighted in before Saturday November 30, you cannot sight it in here during the week of closures. Violators will be subject to disciplinary action by the Board.

Rifle Range Golf Cart Orientation Session & Range Closure

Posted on by Posted in Ranges, Rifle
The Rifle Range will hold a golf cart orientation session for members who are not currently approved this Saturday August 31, starting at 9 am, at the range. Sessions will continue at least until 11 am, so please do not come all at 9. We may go longer if there is interest.
 
The rifle range will be closed during this event. The pistol range will remain open.
 
There will be a discussion of the rules, signing of an agreement to follow the rules, a short driving session, and then having access to the shed lock added to your NSSA access card. So if you forget your card, you won’t get access.
 
For more information, email Stan Hoover, Rifle Range Chairman

Great interest in Intro to Trap

Posted on by Posted in Training, Trap

NSSA welcomes and encourages everyone to participate in our sport. It is of particular interest to promote involvement by women and youth. We have recently offered Trap introduction sessions to inspire their participation.

 

Kevin Bernauer and Butch Novak among others in the Trap committee have done a tremendous job coordinating these events and providing instruction to new recruits. We hope to see them joining us more regularly!
