Several months ago, respected member Jeff Knauss proposed an Air Rifle program to the NSSA board which was approved with great interest. Jeff is an experienced NRA instructor who runs a very successful program at Allegheny Country Rifle Club. He is passionate about bringing opportunities of our sport to youth, and saw a great potential to expand the opportunity here at NSSA.

A great deal of work has taken place since then to make this program a reality. To name a few things, Jeff worked tirelessly to find volunteers who would help run the program, schedule the dates with the Indoor Archery Chairman, obtain the necessary equipment, and coordinate securing of additional funding from the NRA and 4H. Prior to the unfortunate health safety concerns, NSSA held 4 air rifle sessions with great success! The NSSA executive team applauds the board and membership for its support. We hope to resume this program as soon as possible and continue to promote and grow the opportunity for our youth!
