Battle of the Bulge match Dec 12, 2020
On Saturday, December 12th Northside Sportsman’s Club will hold its Annual Battle of the Bulge shoot which took place from December 16, 1944 through January 25, 1945. 250,000 German troops, including three full German Panzer divisions, were massed along the Belgian border.
It was Germany’s last large-scale offensive and a great gamble to try to turn the tide of war. Soldiers on both sides would suffer some of the harshest winter conditions and experience some of the most brutal fighting of the Second World War.
It was named The Battle of the Bulge because of the bulge it created in the American lines at the onset of the battle.
For an excellent history of the Battle of the Bulge, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Bulge
This match is intended to honor the memory of those men who, a generation ago, were surrounded at Bastogne, or were members of Patton’s third Army that relieved Bastogne on Christmas day 1944.
If you wish to dress in a period uniform, you’re welcome (and encouraged) to do so.

NSSA Welcomes Mars Robotics Association
NSSA Youth Member and JOAD Archer Connor B. Also participates in the Mars Robotics Association. Their group was recently presented with the challenge to create a robot that collects foam discs and launches them toward a target. While brainstorming design ideas, Connor had the idea that sporting clay launchers might provide inspiration and contacted with the request to get an up close look at the machines.
Ron Halli, Kevin Sheen, and Wayne Noftz explained and demonstrated the operation and mechanics of several machines in use at NSSA.
We wish Connor and his team good luck with the project!
