NCSC (Williston) 5 Stand Shoot - 14 Dec

The Club has decided to add an impromptu NSCA registered shoot to the calendar before the end of the year, on Saturday 12/14/24. We will hold at least a 100 target main event and if weather and snow pack allow we will add a 50 target side event. When registration opens (more on this below), you will only see the main event, but keep an eye on your email the week before the shoot and plan to bring a few extra boxes of shells in case we are able to offer the side event. While this will be a NSCA registered event, non-registered Hunter class shooters are always welcome. Come out and get a jump start on your 2025 target count!

Registration for the shoot will open this coming Thursday, 11/21/2024 at 5pm. I will send another email around that time with a link to Scorechaser. But if you're ambitious you can watch Scorechaser more proactively. In the meantime, check your calendars and reach out to your shooting buddies to coordinate your registrations and shoot times.
A hot lunch will be provided in the clubhouse for the hardy souls that come out and join us!
Please let me know if you have any questions ahead of registration opening later this week.
Thank you,
Bob Otty otty.robert@gmail.com

NCSC's (Vt) final shoot of the year - Oct 19

 NCSC's final registered shoot of the year is coming up next Saturday (Oct 19) with a 100 target main event, and 50 target "Fluff" side event being offered. This is a NSCA registered shoot, but non-registered Hunter class shooters are always welcome to join up. If you are hoping to join us and have not yet signed up, I have some bad news... The shoot filled quickly and all 40 main event slots are taken. Still, information about the shoot can be found at the following link on Scorechaser.

If you would like to join us, I would be happy to put you on a wait list. Conversely, if you signed up and will not be able to make the shoot, please cancel through Scorechaser or let me know so we can free your spot for someone else.
If you believe in long-range forecasting, next Saturday is looking like a great day. We hope to see as many of you as possible there!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Bob Otty otty.robert@gmail.com

Remington Gun Club Failed to Fire

Brand new factory Remington Gun Club, 12-gauge shell. Sounded like a reload without powder when I pulled the trigger. 

Primer went off and blew the wad out the barrel.  No signs of unburnt powder.

I've shot cases since this past winter.  First one that failed to fire. Had several weak sounding ones and a few that failed to open the bolt on my semi when cycling.

I'll pass on the protection.

NCSC (Williston, Vt) Beat the Heat Shoot - Saturday 7/27

I hope your summer shooting season is going well.  Our next 5-stand shoot in Williston is coming up at the end of the month on Saturday 7/27.  We will again have a 100 target main event, shot on two fields and a 50 target "Fluff side event.  These are NSCA registered events, but non-registered, "Hunter" class shooters are always welcome.


Registration is again being handled through Scorechaser at the link below.  There is one difference:  I am writing to announce the shoot tonight, but registration does not open until this coming Friday 7/5 at 6pm ET.  The popularity of our recent shoots has been a very nice problem to have.  But it has led to difficulties squadding people that would like to shoot together.  So please take time between now and Friday evening to gather your squadmates and make a plan to register early for the squad time you want (maybe even a plan B).


Please let me know if you have any questions.  We look forward to seeing many of you on the 27th!
