l be holding our first Meat Shoot of the season this Sunday, October 23rd at10:00am. Additional shoots are scheduled for November 6th, November 20th, December 4th, and December 18th.On these dates, trap will be CLOSED to practice shooters. For more information about how the meat shoots work and how there’s a chance for anyone to win, beginners and sharpshooters alike, please click here: Meat Shoot Flyer 2016-2017. The flyer also gives information on ammo restrictions so please do take the time to read it.
For those of you who have participated in our meat shoots in the past, we have made a few changes that we hope will make them more enjoyable for all participants. We can now accommodate larger squads of approximately 15 shooters per squad thanks to our new and improved concrete pads. This means less waiting and more shooting!
We will also be holding what we’re calling the “lucky shot” raffle each shoot. Shooters can purchase raffle tickets for $2 each. After the 7th round of shooting we will pull a ticket and that shooter will have one shot to break the lucky target. If the 1st shooter misses we will pull a 2nd ticket and a 3rd if necessary. We will not pull more than 3 tickets per shoot. If a shooter breaks the target they win all of the raffle money. If nobody breaks the target the money will carry over to the next meat shoot. Try your hand and see how lucky you are!
Bring your friends- meat shoots are open to the public. We hope to see all of there. Feel free to reach out to shotgunsports@northsidesportsmen.com if you have any questions.

Clout Archery part deux
The Archers had great fun at last month’s Clout Round. In fact, they have decided to schedule another event Tuesday August 30 @ 6:30 PM.
It was quite an experience trying to hit a target on the ground while aiming at the treetops. There are modified sights for this style of archery but we all used our equipment as is setup for standard target shooting. Spotters helped during sight in to help the shooter ascertain the trajectory of their arrows.
Participation fee is $5 – prizes will be awarded to the top score.
This is a lighthearted and fun event for all ages. No Pressure! We encourage you to join us.

Spring Trap league starts March 10
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 Spring League starts Thursday, March 10th, with a 100 bird pre-season shoot. This shoot is a great opportunity for shooters to dust off their guns and get back out on the range. Following the 100 bird 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 4pm-8pm each Thursday and it costs $10 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 availibility.
