Bird Shot on Pistol Range?

Posted on by Posted in Pistol

The Pistol chairman has noticed evidence of bird shot being used on the pistol range which is prohibited. It destroys the snow fence that is used to hang targets, deteriorates the rack and is inconsiderate to other shooters and those who volunteer to maintain the range.

The shotgun patterning rack on the pistol range is the only location permitted for the use of bird shot.

Ladies Only Day Saturday Nov 5th

Posted on by Posted in Open to Public, Pistol, West Range

In response to feedback from the recent Ladies Pistol Class, NSSA is hosting a low key, Ladies Only day Saturday November 5th from 10am to 2pm on the West Range. This event is open to the public – all are invited to participate.

The range will be restricted to lady shooters only between 10am and 2pm.  You are free to arrive anytime within that period and leave whenever you like.  The closer to 2pm you arrive, the less time you will have to shoot.  In the unlikely event we are overwhelmed with lady shooters, we may ask to relinquish some time for later arrivals.  We look forward to having you participate.

NSSA will furnish targets, loaner eye and ear protection (if needed), and Range Safety Officers will be on duty.  The cost is $5.00 each.

Participants need to bring their own handgun and proper ammunition. If you are uncertain of your handgun manipulation skills, our trained Range Safety Officers will be available to assist you.

Please dress for the weather.  In the event of inclement weather (significant rain) the event will be canceled via E-mail to our members.

NSSA hunters:  The West Range will be in use for a scheduled event on Saturday November 5th from 10am to 2pm.  Please use caution if you are hunting in that area.
