NSSA kitchen committee welcomes all to join us for fish fry on March 5th and 7th 2025! Time 4pm – 8pm. Download the full menu below.

This weekend, over 170 youth archery competitors from throughout the region visited NSSA to compete. We welcome everyone to our club and thank you for your participation!

Thank you to all who came out to the Halloween themed West Range Zombie Shoot!!!! Even with our event “Maryland” rule for max rounds – the Zombies did not win the day!!!! Everyone had fun, shot well and most importantly were SAFE!! It was a great day (started pretty cold) and we were happy to welcome all. We had a “blast.”

We are growing at the range and we cannot thank you enough for all the positive feedback, the help, the enthusiasm and the participation. We are building a great community.

While this “officially” closes our season, don’t be surprised if a few surprise matches pop up before too long, in the winter.

Thank you to all who came out today, RSO’s, Timers and participants.

Suggestions are ALWAYS welcomed and if you’d like to be included in the West Range Distro list to be in the know on our events, send an email to West.Range@northsidesportsmen.com

Due to power Issues in the area, NSSA events and facilities that rely on power are suspended (cancelled/closed) until power is restored. This includes trap, skeet, and indoor archery. The gate is manually opened to allow access. Sign in procedures at the ranges remain in effect as they operate on battery power.
