Due to the availability of additional equipment and growing interest, Five stand will be held on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month through June, July, and August.

The Skeet committee would like to encourage everyone to attend and enjoy the added challenge offered by the new equipment. As usual, regularly scheduled events are open to the public – non members are welcome to participate! NSSA recently acquired new Matterelli trap machines:

a battue, a wobble and a sporting trap.  The battue is unique in that the clay target is nearly a flat disk so it presents a very thin profile.  Once the battue loses velocity, it will turn to the side and fall to the ground.

All of the new traps are 12vdc powered which allows flexibility to position them nearly anywhere.  For example, an interesting target is to place the machine out in the field and throw the target back toward the shooters.  The last new trap is a wobble and of course it changes position for every throw in both horizontal and vertical planes.

We also continue to make extensive use of the springing teal as well as the rabbit / looper. We use a combination of 8 different target presentations and can program the controller with all singles and singles combined with true pairs to provide an enjoyable experience.
