Silver State Shooting Sports Association Mission Statement

 

The objective of this organization shall be the encouragement of organized rifle, pistol and shotgun marksmanship with a view toward, education, good knowledge and furthermore safe handling and proper care of firearms, and to create a public sentiment for the encouragement of organized rifle, pistol and shotgun practice both as a sport and as a necessary means of defense. It shall be our further objective and purpose to forward the development of those characteristics of honesty, good fellowship, self-discipline, team-play and self-reliance, which are the essentials of good sportsmanship and the foundation of true patriotism.

It shall also be our objective to:
Establish youth development programs throughout the state and provide supervision, guidance and encouragement for the purpose of developing knowledge of safe handling and proper care of firearms.

 

Urge Support of the Sportsmen’s Heritage Act of 2012 (H.R. 4089) 

This commonsense legislation will expand recreational hunting, shooting and fishing opportunities while also protecting the firearms and ammunition industries from detrimental regulations under the Environmental Protection Agency.

Included in H.R. 4089 is the Hunting, Fishing, and Recreational Shooting Protection Act, which is the firearms industry’s top legislative priority. The bill amends the Toxic Substances Control Act to clarify the original intent of Congress to exclude traditional ammunition — ammunition containing lead components — and fishing tackle from regulation by the EPA. The U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources has passed the“Sportsmen’s Heritage Act of 2012″ (H.R. 4089). This important legislation now moves to the full house for a vote. The bill combines four legislative priorities that will expand recreational hunting, shooting and fishing opportunities while also protecting the firearms and ammunition industries from detrimental regulations under the Environmental Protection Agency.

H.R. 4089 includes other key legislative priorities of the sportsmen’s community:

• The Recreational Fishing and Hunting Heritage Opportunities Act, which requires federal land managers to support and facilitate use and access for hunting, fishing and recreational shooting.
• The Recreational Shooting Protection Act, which requires National Monument land to be open to access and use for recreational shooting.
• The Polar Bear Conservation and Fairness Act, which will allow the importation of polar bear parts taken in a hunt in Canada, if legally harvested before certain dates.

 

 

Who We Are and What We Do:

We are a group of NRA Certified Instructors and Range Safety Officers promoting gun safety and shooting sports for the youth of Clark County. We are sanctioned by the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) and the NRA (National Rifle Association). We follow the Winchester/NRA Marksmanship Qualification Program.

If you haven’t already joined Silver State Shooting Sport Association, you need to do this to get the proper insurance for your child. If you do not join, we have to turn you away after the second shoot. If you would like to continue shooting with us after your first visit, please be sure to join the association.

 Fees:

 To join the Silver State Sport Shooting Association (SSSSA), annual dues of $15.00 per shooter or $40.00 per family are required.

The range fees are $7.00 per shooter per day. Please arrive early to provide time to sign in. Separate waivers are required for each facility. To receive the rocker and/or medals with each achievement, the additional fee is $5.00, except for distinguished expert, which is $17.50.

How we do it:

We shoot at the Clark County Shooting Park. More information can be found here:

http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/depts/parks/Pages/clark-county-shooting-park.aspx

We send out a notification email at the beginning of the months in which we are shooting. We would like to know ahead of time how many shooters will be there so that we have enough instructors. Please notify Dolores McNamara via email at southpawmaw@earthlink.net or via phone at (702) 453-8565 as far in advance as possible.

Stance, grip and sight picture will all be taught by an NRA Certified Instructor.

What to bring:

We provide hearing and eye protection for the shooters ONLY. Parents or other family members wishing to watch their child shoot are required to bring their own protection for our events. We recommend long pants, over the calf socks, long sleeve shirt or jacket and a baseball cap.

Please bring extra water and sunscreen to the range with you.

Check In:

Upon entering the classrooms, all shooters must sign in and pay their range fees ($7.00 per shooter). Please make yourself a name tag with the labels and marker provided. If you are a first time shooter, please stay in the classroom. If you have shot with us before and already attended the class, please proceed to the range. After shooting is completed, you will be notified if you have earned a higher designation. If you choose to purchase the rocker and medal, the additional fees ($5.00 for each level except Distinguished Expert, which is $17.50) will be collected at that time.

Notes regarding the facilities:   We shoot rain or shine!

We typically hold events at the Clark County Shooting Park on the third weekend of the month. PLEASE REFER TO THE CALENDAR TAB TO VERIFY SCHEDULING! We do not hold events on holiday weekends.

We utilize the Hunter Education Building at the Clark County Shooting Park. It is currently the furthest northeast building in the facility. The easiest directions, upon entering the park, is to stay to the right until the road ends. You must take the road all the way around to reach the Hunter Education Building.

PLEASE STAY OFF OF THE BRUSHED ROCK! Please stay on the concrete walking and shooting areas. The CCSP takes great pride in their landscaping and we ask you to please respect that.

Please note that seats are not provided. If you are coming to watch, please bring a folding chair or be prepared to stand. Eye and hearing protection are required. We provide eye and hearing protection for the shooter, but anybody else will have to bring their own.
