North Side Sportsmen's Association

Get Ready! Fall Trap League starts soon

Posted on by Posted in Ranges, Shoots, Trap, Trap League
Every Fall and Spring NSSA hosts a 15-week trap league that takes place on Thursday Nights. Shooters are divided into 5 teams which compete against each other for shells, prizes, and most importantly, bragging rights!
 
Our Fall League starts Thursday, August 31st, with a 100 bird pre-season shoot. After this shoot, shooters will be divided into the 5 even teams based on their score and known ability, and these are the teams they will shoot 50 birds each week for throughout the rest of the season.
 
Sign-up times are 4pm-8pm each Thursday and it costs $10 per week to shoot the league. This cost not only covers the targets each week but also the prizes and the end of the league banquet dinner that we have at the club. 
 
Everyone is welcome, including non members, so we hope to see you out there! During this 15-week league, shooters are not required to participate in the league and can opt to shoot practice. Please be advised, however, that league squads will have preference over practice shooters for trap availability.
 
 
We hope to see you there!

Defense Training International Course Opportunity July 29-30

Posted on by Posted in Training

Defense Training International is offering a 2 day “ARMED RESPONSE TO A TERRORIST ATTACK” course at NSSA on July 29-30 2017.

Visit http://defense-training.com to register. Read on for the course outline.

ARMED RESPONSE TO A TERRORIST ATTACK

This course is designed to prepare armed citizens against the threat of terrorist violence and other active-shooter events.

Current events indicate a steady increase in terror-related attacks against westerners. Violent extremists and other savages are actively targeting LEOs, Military servicemen and women–as well as their families–to be butchered in public. In addition to LE/MIL individuals and families, we see a rise in these types of attacks on virtually any target of opportunity. Even members of their own culture/faith/ideology are martyred for their depraved cause! This trend will likely continue for the foreseeable future.

For that reason, we have seen the need to develop this specialized firearms course with a focus on armed response to these unique dangers in our modern world. Classroom instruction will cover practical options and tactics intended to give individual operators the life-saving mindset and skill sets for prevailing against such attacks.
