West Range Zombie Shoot
Thank you to all who came out to the Halloween themed West Range Zombie Shoot!!!! Even with our event “Maryland” rule for max rounds – the Zombies did not win the day!!!! Everyone had fun, shot well and most importantly were SAFE!! It was a great day (started pretty cold) and we were happy to welcome all. We had a “blast.”
We are growing at the range and we cannot thank you enough for all the positive feedback, the help, the enthusiasm and the participation. We are building a great community.
While this “officially” closes our season, don’t be surprised if a few surprise matches pop up before too long, in the winter.
Thank you to all who came out today, RSO’s, Timers and participants.
Suggestions are ALWAYS welcomed and if you’d like to be included in the West Range Distro list to be in the know on our events, send an email to West.Range@northsidesportsmen.com

Paving project to begin this Weds Sept 25th
Beginning the afternoon of Wednesday, September 25, 2024, Smullin Paving will start moving equipment to the club to begin the paving process. Minor excavation operations will also begin on Wednesday. The paving team is aware of the Archery event that evening and will make accommodations to ensure they are out of the way.
On Thursday, they will focus on preparing the area for paving. They are also aware of the Thursday Trap League event. To manage traffic flow, they will use cones until the end of their workday (around 4:30 PM). Early arrivals may need to park in the upper lot or wherever directed by the cones. Once they finish for the day, they will open as much of the area as possible.
Paving may begin on Friday or Monday, depending on their progress. When installing the base coat, they will again direct parking using cones.
During the installation of the top coat, access to the gate may be restricted for a few hours to allow the driveway area to set properly. Afterward, parking will be limited to the upper lot for the remainder of the top coat application. This is tentatively scheduled for Monday or Tuesday.
Please note: This schedule is subject to change due to weather conditions.
For everyone’s safety, please follow the directions provided by the paving crew. We want to avoid damaging their work by driving or turning on the newly installed surfaces.

This course is based on the Tactical Combat Casualty Course, NAEMT, Advanced First Aid, the American College of Surgeons protocol, and the National Stop the Bleed Course.
The number one cause of preventable death after an injury is uncontrolled bleeding. Millions of people experience a life-threatening bleed each year due to an accident, injury, chronic disease, etc. In an emergency situation, major bleeds can cause serious complications and become life threatening in a matter of just a few minutes.
This program will present techniques that will allow you the ability to identify life-threatening bleeding and build skills to intervene by applying life saving measures.
This course is available to NSSA members and immediate family members (spouse or children who are 18 years of age and still reside at home.)
