CMP Rifle Match on Sunday, June 21
This coming Sunday is the traditional Father’s Day rifle match at NSSA. It will be the classic NRA High Power Rifle Match held by the Civilian Marksmanship Program , this event will challenge shooters skill with open sights at 200 yards and 300 yards. As usual, this regularly scheduled event is open to the public.
The course of fire is 8 rounds of sighters and 50 rounds for score, for a total of 58 rounds for the day.
If you don’t own a qualifying rifle, NSSA has two Bushmaster XM-15 E2S A2 with 20” barrels available for match use, for free. The club also has magazines, slings, empty-chamber indicators, and a ground mat that can be used during the matches. This is an excellent way to give the sport a try for just the cost of ammunition. (Note: Only factory ammunition can be used with the club rifles—no reloads.)
We hope everyone can enhance Father’s Day with us on Sunday.
If you are interested in more details, email the CMP Chairman

Wounded Heroes Hunting Camp Holds 4th Annual Fundraiser Trap Shoot
On Saturday, May 9th, Wounded Heroes Hunting Camp held their 4th Annual Trap Shoot for Heroes. WHHC is a non-profit, 100% volunteer organization that provides hunting trips as a healing experience for wounded veterans.
Not only does the Trap Shoot for Heroes event help to raise money each year to make these hunting trips possible, it provides the wounded veterans with an opportunity to get out on the trap range and have a little fun themselves. This year’s event drew in 90+ shooters, both novice and experienced, with 9 of the shooters being NSSA “regulars”. Trophies were given out for Overall Champion, Female Champion, and Team Champions. Congrats to the following people!
Overall Champion: Bob Szoszorek- 49/50
Female Champion: Emily Noftz- 49/50
Team Champions: Kelly Simmons, Frank Sommer, Dan Thomson, Bob Szoszorek & Paul Szoszorek
Special thanks to Jeff Kelly, Ron Halli, and all of the other NSSA volunteers that made this event run smoothly and of course to all of the veterans in attendance for their service to our country. God Bless! We are proud to hold this event at NSSA and are already looking forward to next year.
