Great interest in Intro to Trap
NSSA welcomes and encourages everyone to participate in our sport. It is of particular interest to promote involvement by women and youth. We have recently offered Trap introduction sessions to inspire their participation.
Kevin Bernauer and Butch Novak among others in the Trap committee have done a tremendous job coordinating these events and providing instruction to new recruits. We hope to see them joining us more regularly!

Defense Training International Course Opportunity July 29-30
Defense Training International is offering a 2 day “ARMED RESPONSE TO A TERRORIST ATTACK” course at NSSA on July 29-30 2017.
Visit http://defense-training.com to register. Read on for the course outline.
ARMED RESPONSE TO A TERRORIST ATTACK
This course is designed to prepare armed citizens against the threat of terrorist violence and other active-shooter events.
Current events indicate a steady increase in terror-related attacks against westerners. Violent extremists and other savages are actively targeting LEOs, Military servicemen and women–as well as their families–to be butchered in public. In addition to LE/MIL individuals and families, we see a rise in these types of attacks on virtually any target of opportunity. Even members of their own culture/faith/ideology are martyred for their depraved cause! This trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future.
For that reason, we have seen the need to develop this specialized firearms course with a focus on armed response to these unique dangers in our modern world. Classroom instruction will cover practical options and tactics intended to give individual operators the life-saving mindset and skill sets for prevailing against such attacks.
