Submission Guidelines for NOSA Members

Here we are not interested in stuff other people have said or written -- just real life experiences by our members -- and their evaluations based on personal observation and/or experimentation. Hands on stuff. Let's talk about the stuff you really like (or perhaps dislike) and any personal stories involving the gun or knife or binocular or whatever -- why this item means something special to you.

Don't worry too much about spelling and grammar -- we'll fix any obvious stuff and make sure you look good.

For personal confidentiality purposes on the website, we prefer not to use your full name -- just a first name and initial and/or nickname. But if you want total confidentiality on the website, we can completely leave off clues to your identity -- your choice. But the webmaster needs to know which member submitted it, or it will not be published.

If you want to write a more formal review, you might want to include some of the following information. Otherwise, just tell us your story about the item in your own words, like you're talking to a group of friends around the table having a beverage.

Make
Model Name and/or Number
Description and specifications (weight, size, etc.)
Intended Purpose (e.g. precision target, plinking, hunting small game, etc.)
Picture (Optional) -- an original jpg image under 100 KB (but bigger is okay -- we'll shrink it here).
How you originally came to use the subject item and any interesting stories you had with it.
Your commentary based on your personal observations.
If, or How, you wish to be identified on the website with your review.


Warning and Disclaimer. Only the most current printed Shooting Rules and Range Standing Orders and Match Standing Orders as issued by the N.O.S.A. Executive are official and they should be read, understood, and followed. If there is any question as to interpretation of a rule, or safety of a practice, immediately ask a member of the Executive or a Range Safety Officer before placing yourself or anyone or anything else at risk.
