West Range Night Shoot
Extending a huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our first-ever NSSA Night Shoot! Your enthusiasm and participation made this maiden voyage a success, and we’re excited about the possibility of offering more in the future. A shout out to those who came up to observe and chat with a group.
A special shoutout to Send Nods for coming out and providing members with the opportunity to try different devices and offering rentals—your support truly enhanced the experience.
Big thanks also go to Nick and Hutch for traveling up to help RO the event and set up the courses.
The moving and shooting stages gave members a chance to put their gear to the test after dark, and the addition of the new V-Tac Barrier—generously donated by one of our members—was a major hit!
Look for more as we move through the year!
