NOSA Outdoor Shooting at Nolalu Began 04 June 2020 Our outdoor shooting at Nolalu Range normally starts in May, but was unavoidably delayed this year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and government health restrictions. Fortunately our Nolalu ranges now opened on 04 June 2020. More information and the new health related restrictions for our ranges are now detailed on our Range Rules page. Our regularly scheduled outdoor shoots at Nolalu shall continue until the end of October.

NOSA Junior Shooters' Wednesday Shoots -- Start Again 16 Sept 2020 Due to parental concerns about the COVID-19 virus, NOSA has arranged to conduct further Juniors' shooting at the much larger Thunder Bay District Fish and Game facility at 260 Pento Road. On the Juniors' Wednesday shooting nights, the parents must bring them to the entrance gate there promptly between 6:45 and 7 p.m., when volunteers will have the gate unlocked. We ask that Juniors supply their own masks; they will all be assigned a bag with safety glasses and hearing protection to take care of. It will be their responsibility to bring these items weekly to Jr shooters. All supplied firearms will be wiped down between shooters.

NOSA Adult Shooters' Friday Shoots -- Start Again 02 October 2020 NOSA has arranged to conduct further indoor Adult shooting at the much larger Thunder Bay District Fish and Game facility at 260 Pento Road. On Friday evening NOSA members will gain admittance through the F&G Main Gate using their current NOSA key. They shall lock that gate immediately after passing through, when coming into, and when departing, the F&G Facility. They will sign into the NOSA attendance book at whichever range they are using, #1 Range of 50 yards for rimfire rifles or #8 Range of 10 metres for pistols. A map for the F&G Facility showing the location of its numbered ranges will be found in a link near the bottom of the NOSA website's Range Rules page, and further details for use of the F&G Facility will also be found there.
