Bullseye
| CCPL - Winter League | This is the Cuyahoga County Pistol League. If you are the best pistol shot in the Cleveland, Ohio or NE Ohio area, you know CCPL already. This is a team competition of the best of the best. Several teams from North East Ohio compete with .22 caliber pistols and revolvers in a Conventional Pistol series of matches to claim the title. CCPL Home page provides the scheduling and statistical record of both Team and Individual effort.
This is pure pistol sport. Shooting at a paper target of concentric circles, Off-hand (means "one hand, unsupported"), .22 caliber, Slow Fire, Timed Fire (20 Sec.), and Rapid Fire (10 Sec.) 10 shots each for a total of 30 shots, where a perfect score is 300, and I have not seen a perfect score in years (and years). 50 feet at a target with a bulls eye about the size of a quarter. This is a group where Masters are distinguished from High Masters. |  |
| Dirty Harry Revolver 2009 | Called the 'Dirty Harry' league, this is center fire, double action revolver, bridging the season between Winter and Summer leagues. Old School Guts Wheel Gun action the way Clint Eastwood pretended he could shoot. The Manly version of a Manly sport.
Center Fire, .32 or larger, .44 or .45 ACP. 5 minute slow fire, 25 second timed fire, and 15 second rapid fire. All shots fired in Double Action mode, starting with pistols down at commence fire. Offhand (one hand, unsupported). This is pure pistol sport. |  |
| Summer League | Summer League is .22 caliber NRA Conventional Pistol training season. Very friendly group of shooters meeting on Monday evening at 7:00 PM during the Summer months.
Maximum score is 300 points per match, and we've not seen one of those lately. |
CCW
Periodically, NOSC offers CCW courses to satisfy the State of Ohio requirements for Concealed Carry of a Weapon permit. (CCW)
The cost is $80. This program is run on a break-even basis. Included are the 2 books each student gets to keep, the NRA safety course materials and the best, most comprehensive CCW book our instructors have found to date.
Ohio's concealed carry legislation has been revised recently. Sec 2923.16 (K)(5) "Unloaded" means that no ammunition is in the firearm in question, and no ammunition is loaded into a magazine or speed loader that may be used with the firearm in question and that is located anywhere within the vehicle in question, without regard to where ammunition otherwise is located within the vehicle in question.
With the revised legislation, it is wise to consider having one's spouse/significant other get their CHL, too. The definition of a "loaded" gun has been changed. Now loaded speedloaders and magazines stored anywhere in the vehicle count as loaded guns if combined with a compatible gun. Often, per Ohio law, you must leave your weapon in your vehicle when entering the post office, a convenience store with any type of alcohol permit, etc. Even if you unload it and carry the mag or speedloader with you, another one in the vehicle constitutes a violation. Thus getting them their own CHL is the cheapest insurance you will find to prevent them from being charged under the new "loaded" gun legislation.

IDPA
International Defensive Pistol Association
IDPA as a sport is simply the use of practical equipment including full charge service ammunition to solve simulated “real world” self-defense scenarios. Shooters competing in IDPA events are required to use practical handguns and holsters that are truly suitable for self-defense use. No “competition only” equipment is permitted in IDPA matches since the main goal is to test the skill and ability of an individual, not his equipment or gamesmanship. Join the IDPA
IDPA at North Olmsted Sportsman's Club
Our club has an active IDPA program. Club members meet on Friday evenings to pratice their IDPA skills. Click on the month of the calendar on the left to see the schedule of IPDA practice sessions and other events.
IDPA courses of fire are changed each week to simulate various self-defense scenarios. Both accuracy and speed are tested in these scenarios.
All club members are invited to join in this exciting, fun and practical shooting sport. Non-members are invited to come and see IPDA in action.
Rifle
NOSC Senior Rifle Smallbore (.22) and High Power The NOSC Senior Rifle program is active in both indoor smallbore and outdoor high power marksmanship. The program is open to all NOSC members, their guests, and junior shooters. We shoot indoors at the NOSC range during the winter and during the summer we move outdoors coaching and shooting with junior shooters at South Cuyahoga Sportsman\'s Club in Media county. Shooting is every Thursday evening in the winter at 7PM.
As with many NOSC programs it is free to shooters under 18 years old, and they need not be members. In most cases we can even provide junior shooters equipment, ammunition, and coaching. A great way to get more range time in addition to the NOSC Junior Rifle program.
All shooting is carried out under the supervision of a trained Range Officer. The focus is on safety and marksmanship skills. Shooters have the opportunity to practice various positions and courses of fire used in NRA and CMP National Match competitions. For more information contact Program Director Terry Park, or email ray@wwiifirearms.com.
Trap
NOSC Trap is classic Shotgun flying clay bird competition and meets at the Outdoor Trap Range on alternate Sundays. The competition is fierce and the hospitality is astonishing. Novices are welcome, and Masters are warned. Link to Trap page
Jr. Rifle
What? The shooting sports are an important part of our heritage as Americans, as well as a healthy and rewarding activity for the entire family. Our Junior Rifle program is designed to introduce young people to the sport of rifle shooting, and to provide them with a safe place to practice that sport. We want our young shooters to acquire the physical and mental skill and discipline needed to accurately shoot a .22 caliber rifle. We also want them to know how to handle all types of firearms safely and responsibly. There is no safety in ignorance.
We're affiliated with the Civilian Marksmanship Program, and all of our instructors are NRA certified. Cost? Our Junior Rifle program is offered free of charge. We provide rifles, ammunition, shooting mats, targets and ear protection, and have a limited number of shooting glasses available to borrow. (Eye and ear protection is required during live fire on the range!) You are encouraged to bring your own eye and ear protection, and may also bring any other equipment you might have. Rifles must be bolt-action, single fire .22 caliber - no semi-autos - preferably with aperture (peep) sights. So if you want to bring your own Remington, Mossberg, Marlin or Anschütz target rifle, that\'s fine with us!
Where? Our Junior Rifle program is a cooperative effort of North Olmsted Sportsman's Club, in North Olmsted, Ohio, and West Branch Rifle and Pistol Club in Grafton, Ohio. During the winter, we shoot at North Olmsted's 50-foot indoor range. During the summer, we shoot at West Branch's 50-yard outdoor range. Here's how to get to West Branch. Website
West Branch is located on Neff Road, just east of Rt. 83, in Grafton, OH. Rt. 83 runs south out of Avon Lake, and is accessible from I-90 in Avon, and from the Rt. 10 branch of I-480, just West of North Olmsted. From either of those exits, head south past Rt. 82. About 5.2 miles south of 82, you'll cross Rt. 303. Neff road is about 2.1 miles south of 303, on the left (east) side. After you turn onto Neff, look for a green metal gate about 100 yards on the right. On Junior Rifle days, the gate will be open. We'll be at the bottom of the hill.
Who? Our Junior Rifle program is open to all US citizens. You do not need to be a member of North Olmsted Sportsman's Club or West Branch Rifle and Pistol Club to participate. Any young person old enough - and mature enough - to follow the rules and obey instructions, and big enough to safely handle a .22 rifle, is welcome. Our current shooters range in age from 8 to 15, and the upper age limit is 18. Written parental permission is required - we'll provide the forms - and parents are encouraged to be present at the shoots.
It doesn't matter whether the young person has ever fired - or even handled - a firearm before. We begin with a thorough introduction to safe firearm handling, and allow each member to develop their skills at their own pace.
