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.

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.
