Rifle Range Improvements
Significant improvements have been made on the Rifle Range. Trees on both sides of the range have been cut back, which will greatly improve the lighting on the 300 yard target racks. And the backstop on the 200 yard range has been completely refurbished.
Come out to the range and experience the improvements for yourself.
Clout Archery Event Tues July 26
NSSA Archers will host a Clout Archery event 6PM Tuesday July 26 on the Trap Field. Participation fee: $5.
Clout archers shoot arrows at a flag on a pole (“the Clout”) from a long distance. Points are scored depending on how close each arrow lands to the flag.
We have held Clout shoots in the past and it has always been great fun.

CMP Clinic for New Participants
The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is a U.S. government-chartered program that promotes firearm safety training and rifle practice for all qualified U.S. citizens. The CMP operates through a network of affiliated shooting clubs and state associations that cover every state in the U.S. The clubs and associations offer the opportunity for continued firearm practice and competition. Any U.S. citizen who is not legally prohibited from owning a firearm may participate.
The Northside Sportsman’s Association (NSSA) is hosting a CMP informational clinic on April 12, 2016 at 7:00 pm to present an overview of CMP/NRA match procedures and best-practices, discuss this year’s match events and answer questions.
This year’s match events include:
- NRA Rifle Matches
- Springfield/Vintage Rifle Match
- Carbine Match
- Garand Match
- .22 Caliber Match
- F-Class High Power Rifle Matches
Although a basic understanding of firearms and firearm safety is a prerequisite to participating in a match, you don’t even have to own your own rifle. NSSA has two AR-15 rifles to loan to participants, which can be used at the seven NRA Rifle Matches in 2016.
At the meeting, you will be able to ask questions and learn more about the CMP, CMP events, and procedures used during the events (match procedures, qualifying firearms, range commands, etc.). You will also be able to learn about some exciting new provisions for 2016 that allow for a greater number of rifles and participants.
Come to the CMP informational meeting on April 12 to find out more on how to get involved and participate in CMP activities!
Date & Time:
April 12, 7:00pm
Location:
325 Mt. Pleasant Road
Warrendale, PA 15086
