2015 NOSA Activities or Events (New Ontario Shooters Association)

Here find details of the 2015 shooting activities and related events at NOSA, the family-friendly Thunder Bay rifle and pistol shooting club. Events or subjects are in approximate date order (usually based on the earliest date if an activity is spread out).

This page is also intended to show some of our members' photos in club and related activities in and about Thunder Bay, Ontario -- or wherever our members travel for competitions or sport. We also feature some of their favourite wildlife photos. (See near bottom of this page.)

At the end of each calendar year, a particular year's activities and photos will still be available on its own NOSA page. For other years, see the top of the current Recent Activities webpage using the link at left.

If you have an objection to a particular image of yourself or your family member, send an email to the Webmaster and that image or the complete photo will be removed from the website.

NOSA Indoor Shooting at Arnone Range -- 19 Sep 2014 through 08 May 2015

The fall to spring indoor shooting schedule began at Arnone Range:
--- on Friday, 19 Sep 2014 for Adult Shooters;
--- on Wednesday, 24 Sep 2014 for Junior Shooters.

NOSA Gun Show in Murillo -- Saturday and Sunday, 7 & 8 March 2015

This annual two-day NOSA Spring Gun Show featured the opportunity for the public to buy, sell, or trade: Guns, Knives, Ammunition, Collectors' Cartridges, Reloading Supplies, Optics, and Accessories. A food concession run by NOSA was also on site.

Location: Oliver Paipoonge Township Community Centre, 4569 Oliver Road, Murillo, Ontario.

Show Hours for the Public were Saturday 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Admission was $4.00 each day, and free for those under 12 when accompanied by an adult.

NOSA had an information display about our Club, and our activities promoting the shooting sports including our Junior Shooters Program. This show provides some of the annual funding for the Juniors.

We appreciate the many NOSA volunteers who made this show a success. Trevor B. organized the event and Bob M. ran the kitchen with the assistance of Don K., Charlene K., Warren W. and Bob's grandson, Kaleb M. Helping with setup and admittance and teardown were most of the usual suspects including Trapper-John A., Merv A., Steve B. (who also took the pix here), Dana C., Barry E., John Gi., Dan G., George H., Bob J., Dave L., Jo-Anne L., Ray M., Tony M., Larry P., John Sa., Wayne Sm. and Gord S. The club information table was organized by Victoria H. and capably staffed by Cassandra C., Cassidy J., Kayla L., and Aryanna M.

Late Friday afternoon the troops gathered to bring out the folding tables and stacked chairs, arrange them, and then help the exhibitors haul in a few tons of goodies. George H. also kindly provided extra folding tables. Saturday and Sunday mornings started with Bob's super breakfasts, which are welcome highlights for each year. Saturday morning also had a bit of snow but the public was undeterred and turned out in large numbers. Sunday morning's crowd was lighter due to even more snow and the effects of the time change. And yes, a really good time was had by all.

CFO representatives Deb Bissonnette from Thunder Bay Police and April McKnight from the O.P.P. were there to capably advise the public about firearms legislation and licensing procedures. Their helpful information was greatly appreciated, and it is always a pleasure to have these smiling ladies present.

Of course this show could not have succeeded without the tremendous support of the vendors and exhibitors, most of whom have been with us for many years. Thank you indeed.

Door Prize Winners were: Colin B. -- Tipton caddy/cleaning rod (donated by GMK); Lee L. -- Camo shirt basket (donated by Northwoods Health Centre); Ryan B. -- Weaver tool set & rifle base (donated by NOSA); Bill Kr. -- Gift certificate (donated by Pizza Hut).

NOSA Annual General Meeting -- Sunday, 15 March 2015

NOSA's Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held at 1:00 p.m. at the Labour Centre at 929 Fort William Road. Refreshments and Bob M.'s chilli were enjoyed.

This AGM's agenda included presentation of the annual budget, discussion of club business, and the biennial election for all NOSA Executive positions. The current Executive stood again for their positions and were returned unopposed. Trevor B. volunteered to assist Glenn H. with events like gun shows.

There were several club memberships renewed before the meeting. Without 2015 membership renewal, any A.T.T. based upon membership in NOSA will be terminated shortly without further notice.

Victoria H. briefed us on the plan to field a Juniors' team for the next provincial championships. Expenses for the six Juniors and NOSA's two adult team leaders will be picked up by the province. Dave L. and Bill K. both spoke about the Juniors program. Dave also described the NOSA clothing that has been ordered by members; hats and another order of NOSA T-shirts and hoodies may occur later this summer, subject to demand.

Aryanna, Cassidy, Cassandra and Kayla described their own plan to raise money for NOSA at our August Kakabeka Falls Gun Show. Gotta admire the initiative of these capable young ladies.

Gerry K. proposed a committee to formalize administrative procedures for future table bookings at our gun shows, and will be joined by Victoria H. and Trevor B.

Terry D. noted that seamless eavestrough will be applied to our Nolalu Range #2 roof this summer. Approval was given to build a 10 by 10 foot shelter for our field supplies. Chris C. volunteered to assist Terry and also maintain the field bicycle used to speed up the changing of targets at 300 metres.

Trapper-John A. reminded us about the Adult Easter Shoot on Friday 10 April and that he expects to have an outdoor shoot at Nolalu in May (date TBA) to start the season. Bob J. volunteered to assist John with matches.

There was considerable discussion of how to make shooting relays more efficient on Fridays at Arnone Range. For the time being, subject to revision if there are problems, members are expected to utilize the firing points efficiently -- meaning be organized so you can safely start shooting soon after occupying a firing point, and reserve socializing until after leaving the firing area. Members are expected to self regulate their use of a position, meaning that if after 20 minutes you observe a backlog of shooters waiting outside, you yield your firing position (knowing you can probably return later in the evening when it becomes less busy).

NOSA Junior Shooters Easter Shoot -- Wednesday, 01 April 2015

NOSA Adult Easter Indoor Shoot -- Friday, 10 April 2015

This annual Easter holiday season shoot included events for CF handguns, .22 RF handguns, and .22 RF rifles. All events were fired freehand (no support) and with targets at 20 metres. One specified target (free) was provided for each competition category entered.

There were prizes for first through third place in each event and several other mystery prizes. And having fun is the prize that everyone experienced. Our thanks to Bob J. and John A. for organizing a memorable event.

NOSA Outdoor Shooting at Nolalu Range -- 01 May Through 31 Oct 2015

The spring to fall outdoor shooting schedule began at our Nolalu Range on Friday 01 May and will continue every week on NOSA Club Days (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) until Saturday 31 October 2015.

Thursdays, weather permitting, are normally the busiest days, with rimfire matches in the afternoon followed by general shooting and snacking into the evening.

Photos taken during formal NOSA outdoor shoots are grouped with the particular event. We also receive the occasional picture from a Nolalu Range regular outdoor shooting day in 2015, and they will be found here.

NOSA Junior Shooters End of Year Indoor Shoot -- Wednesday, 06 May 2015

The Junior Shooters' End of Year Indoor Shoot included a shooting competition and prizes of club T-shirts and hats. Everyone had pizza and pop. A good time was had by all. Photos were kindly provided by Cheryl M.

NOSA Inaugural 2015 Nolalu Shoot -- Sunday, 10 May 2015

A get-together and fun shooting day for all members (Adults and Juniors) started promptly at 10:00 a.m. As might be expected at this time of year, the weather was cold and windy and the wise folks brought parkas and gloves.

A bonus feature appreciated by all present was the heavy infill provided by George H. to tame the large mudhole that used to complicate our entry.

The shoot was very capably organized and directed by Bob J. This shoot contained more events than normal and succeeded due to careful planning. Bob was helped to set up by Gerry K. and then ably assisted by Trapper-John A. who obtained the prizes and scored, Jo-Anne L. who also helped score, Dave L. who efficiently directed the 25M range, Warren W. who carefully controlled the 100M relays, and George H. and Victoria H. who kindly provided rifles and great assistance for the Juniors present. Banacek took some pix.

Kakabeka Falls Gun Show -- Saturday, 22 August 2015

Show Hours for the Public were 09:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission was $4.00, and free for those under 12 when accompanied by an adult.

This year we had a record attendance for this particular August show of 437 adults, and sales were particularly good for most vendors. Several new vendors, some from as far away as Vermilion Bay and Sault Ste. Marie, were made welcome. Some of their businesses have already been added to our Useful Links webpage, clickable in the column at left.

As usual, these events depend for their success on the selfless contributions by our volunteers under the capable direction of Glenn H. who was everywhere helping out. Adult volunteers included Trapper-John A., Steve B. (who also took pix), Trevor B., Dana C., Chris C., Ryan G., Dan G., Bob J., Don K., Dave and Jo-Anne L., Tony M., Bob M., Ray M., Richard P., Gord S., and Warren W. Our Juniors ably staffing the NOSA club table (and enticing the crowd with delicious cupcakes and membership applications) included Cassandra C., Kayla L., Aryanna M., Kaleb M., Brenton T., Victoria T., and Mae W-G. (Why so many pix of the Junior Shooters -- because they kept adding new folks during the day.)

Our thanks to kind sponsors for contributing door prizes for the public: a $50 gift certificate from Pizza Hut -- and a Gun Butler and supplies from GMK Armouries. A Coleman propane stove was also given by NOSA as a door prize.

Trappers Association Turkey Shoot at Nolalu Shooting Range -- Sunday, 13 Sep 2015

This Northwestern Fur Trappers Association Shoot was held on Sunday 13 September at the Nolalu Range from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There were some very good prizes awarded.

Members of NOSA (Juniors as well as Adults) and the public were welcome to enter these paper target shooting events for rimfire and centerfire rifles. If you look through the pix taken by Banacek, you will see some trappers and their families, as well as some of the members from NOSA.

NOSA Indoor Shooting at Arnone Range -- 18 Sep 2015 through 13 May 2016

The fall to spring indoor shooting schedule began at Arnone Range:
--- on Friday, 18 Sep 2015 for Adult Shooters;

Moose (or Deer) Sight-In Session at Nolalu Shooting Range -- Sunday, 20 Sep 2015

This service for the public was held on Sunday, 20 September at the Nolalu Range from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. It was jointly hosted by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, and NOSA.

Public participation was a bit light this year at 24 folks, perhaps due to the reduced moose population and thus fewer moose tags available. One encouraging observation was that several couples turned up to shoot. And we got to meet a new NOSA couple, Tom and Katy H. -- Welcome!

Our thanks to MNRF representative, Conservation Officer Marco Grigio, who was on hand to answer questions about hunting regulations. Our appreciation also to NOSA member volunteers: Trapper-John A., Jeff B., Trevor B., Dana C., Barry E., Glenn H., Verner K., Don M., Bob M., and Warren W. who were available to assist individuals with the actual sighting in process. Gerry K. kindly provided some very necessary gunsmithing support. And Banacek took some pix.

NOSA Club Appreciation Shoot and BBQ at Nolalu Range -- Sunday, 04 Oct 2015

This shoot for all NOSA club members, including Junior Shooters, began at 10:00 a.m with shooting events, and there was a BBQ at lunch time which actually carried on all day. Food and beverages were provided free by NOSA.

This annual event was in appreciation of the volunteerism and support shown by all members, whether at special events or just in the day to day help provided to others.

Volunteerism was also evident here by the folks who helped run the events. Bob J. was in charge overall and hardly ever had to use his bull-horn. One family was completely involved, as Dave L. ran the 25M events while Jo-Anne administered the targets with some assistance from Kayla, and Trapper John A. helped score. Warren W. ran the centerfire ranges. Our very capable chef Bob M. handled the BBQ, with some help from Don M. while Bob was shooting. Gerry K. was on hand to resolve any gunsmithing issues. And Banacek took the pix below.

Events included rimfire (RF) and centerfire (CF) handguns and rifles. Black Powder (BP) firearms were eligible to participate in the centerfire events so long as they followed the time limits as set out below.

Two events were reserved for Junior Shooters (and for these 2 events, rifles were provided by NOSA for those Juniors who do not have their own). Juniors were also welcome to participate in any other event, and those interested were able to use a suitable firearm under supervision.

Some bonus events involved balloons placed on the pistol range for the Juniors to burst with .22 handguns (yes under supervision) and they did very well indeed. Other balloons were placed on the target backboards at 200M and 300M to be targeted for fun after all the regular events were completed.

There were strict time limits for each regular event of 10 minutes for target change and 20 minutes to complete a particular target.

NOSA Members' Adventures and Hunts -- 2015

Cheryl M. proves that the .22RF CZ-452 rifle in the hands of a competent shooter is very much a contender.

Frequent contributor Wayne Sm. has continued to capture interesting pix of local wildlife, and here is a "smiling" and watchful Red Fox. Then he filmed a fine Black Bear, and enjoyed viewing a lovely morning mist. Later you get to see his spectacular November winter view of the Kam area (with a Canada Jay too close to focus).

William R. experienced a great hunting season with a large Whitetail Buck and also a fine Bull Moose.

Don M. took a couple of nice Whitetail Bucks near Murillo before heading to join brother Bill on the family farm in Grey County where he took a fine doe. He then took another doe in N.Y. State with a CZ .308 and enjoyed some terrific scenery.

Thanks to Jodi G. for sending us this photo of Healey G. with a fine Whitetail Buck taken in November just North of Emo. Healey is a crack shot and consistently successful hunter.

Bob M. proved he is pretty handy with a shotgun during a hunt for some Canada Geese.

Christopher L. took his fine Whitetail Buck with a crossbow in Kaministiquia, and proved a smart phone can provide a good photo.

Dave L. sent two photos of daughter Kayla, a Junior Shooter who demonstrated her expertise by taking these grouse the more difficult way, with a rifle. He then sent a photo of his 11 point Whitetail Buck taken with a crossbow, and then the antlers were mounted by Jamie Black of Black & Tan Taxidermy (contact info on our Useful Links webpage).
