NSSA celebrates success of 2024 Can-Am Games Trapshooting Competition
We are thrilled to share the success of the trapshooting competition hosted by the North Side Sportsmen’s Association for the 2024 Can-Am Games. This event was a testament to the passion, skill, and sportsmanship of everyone involved.
A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Competitors
Firstly, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to all the competitors who participated. Your dedication and enthusiasm made the event truly special. It was inspiring to witness such incredible talent and camaraderie on display.
A Tribute to First Responders
It was an honor and a privilege for our club to participate in an event that recognizes and celebrates the service of our community’s first responders. These individuals, who are always ready to put their lives on the line to ensure our safety, demonstrated the same commitment and excellence in the competition as they do in their daily duties. We are proud to have hosted an event that acknowledges their hard work and dedication.
Congratulations to the Winners
A special congratulations to the winners! Your hard work and exceptional skills have earned you a well-deserved place at the top. We hope this victory brings you as much pride and joy as it brought to us watching you compete.
Appreciation for Our Volunteers
The success of this event would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of our NSSA members who volunteered their time and energy. From setting up the venue to ensuring everything ran smoothly, your dedication was instrumental in making this competition a triumph. Thank you for your unwavering support and hard work.
Recognition of Brenda Hill
We also want to take a moment to recognize Brenda Hill from Butler County. Brenda’s support over the past few months of planning and preparation has been invaluable. Her commitment and efforts behind the scenes ensured that everything was meticulously organized and executed. Thank you, Brenda, for your outstanding contribution to this event.
Looking Forward
As we celebrate the success of this year’s competition, we are already looking forward to future events. The spirit of sportsmanship and community that was evident throughout the 2024 Can-Am Games is something we cherish and aim to build upon in the years to come as we plan other events in the future.
Thank you once again to everyone who participated, supported, and volunteered. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Spring 2024 Trap League Begins March 7th
Every Fall and Spring NSSA hosts a 12-week trap league that takes place on Thursday Nights. Shooters are divided into 5 teams which compete against each other for shells, prizes, and most importantly, bragging rights at the end of the 12-weeks. Our Seasonal League starts Thursday, March 7th, with a 50 bird pre-season warm up shoot.
This shoot is a great opportunity for shooters to dust off their guns and get back out on the range. Following the warm-up shoot, shooters will be divided into the 5 even teams based on their score and known ability, and these are the teams they will shoot 50 birds each week for throughout the rest of the season.
Sign-up times are 3:30pm-8:30pm each Thursday and it costs $14 per week to shoot the league. This cost not only covers the targets each week but also the prizes and the end of the league banquet dinner that we have at the club. Everyone is welcome, including non members, so we hope to see you out there! Please be advised that during this 12-week league shooters are not required to participate in the league and can opt to shoot practice instead, however league squads will have preference over trap availability.
