About North State Shooting Club
Our History
|
The North State Shooting Club was organized in 1971 by members of the NC National Guard Rifle Team and four local civilians at the request of the Adjutant General for North Carolina. NSSC is an incorporated private organization utilizing the Camp Butner National Guard Training Site. The AG wanted more community involvement with the military so the club was designed to promote safe small arms skills, marksmanship and good sportsmanship through competition between military and civilian competitors. Competitive shooting programs helps improve National Defense and Public Safety. The North State Shooting Club is known as an enjoyable shooting range with friendly shooters and great range control support. The club is affiliated with the National Rifle Association (K5228) and the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP# 36033) as well as the NC State Rifle and Pistol Association. We encourage all competitors to support and join the NRA and their State Association. North Carolina National Guard KD Range #4 Release form required. |

Shooter Spotlight
Gabe began his shooting career back in high school when he joined the NC Hunter Safety Shooting Team. Later in life, he was introduced to Pete Hodges who welcomed him to the NSSC and got him started on his Across the Course journey with the M1A. After a long break from shooting, Gabe returned to XTC with an AR platform and won the State Mid-Range Championship. Yet, he quickly fell in love with his Match Rifle. In 2023, he built his first Long Range rifle and went on the win the North State Shooting Club Long Range State Championship. “I feel really blessed to have the opportunity to do this," Gabe says about making the USNRT Team. "We are very fortunate to have such a great club here at North State with great people and a great range to shoot at.” |
