Oregon State Shooting Association - New Dues Structure

5/3/2022

 
Picture
The new membership fee structure is posted on the Membership Page.   During our annual review of our organization, we noted increased expenses and insurance required to sustain the organization.   This amounts to an additional $3,000.   To help in our decision, the board looked closely at what neighboring states were doing for their membership programs.   The result is a modest increase of membership fees.     In addition, we have enabled a benefit for multiple year memberships.   
​
We have more work to do as an organization to increase memberships and revenues as these rates do not fully cover the gap produced by increased expenses.   Get involved with OSSA and shooting sports, share the shooting experience and our safety/wellness program.  Along way bring others on board.
 
 
 Effective May 3, 2022, the following rates apply. ​   See the Membership Page 

General Membership     1 Year $30.00 / 2 Years $57.00 / 3 Years $85.00
Club Membership          1 Year $70.00 / 2 Years $136.00 / 3 Years $198.00
Collegiate and Junior memberships remain unchanged at $10/year

Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) Small Arms Firing School for Rifle and Pistol is coming to the west coast.  May 14-15, 2022

4/10/2022

 
The Civilian Marksmanship Program will be conducting a Small Arms Firing School for both Rifle and Pistol in Eagle Creek, Oregon May 14th & 15th, 2022. This is the same school that is taught annually during the National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio each summer. The United States Army Marksmanship Unit (AMU) conducts the schools during the National Matches and will be sending instructors to Eagle Creek for these schools.

The Rifle SAFS will be held at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. Saturday will start with classroom instruction followed by practice firing at 200 yards with the aid of experienced competitors providing coaching on the line. Sunday, all participants will fire a 40 shot “Excellence in Competition” (leg) Match. The top 10% of the non-distinguished competitors without any “leg” points will be awarded their first 4 points towards their Distinguished Rifleman’s Badge. All rifles and ammunition will be provided by the CMP. This school will be fired on electronic targets eliminating the need for pit duty.

The Pistol SAFS will be held at Estacada Rod & Gun Club. Saturday will start with classroom instruction followed by practice firing. Participants will then fire an “Excellence in Competition” (leg) match. The top 10% of non-distinguished without any “leg” points will be awarded their first 4 points toward their Distinguished Pistol Shot Badge. All pistols and ammunition will be provided by the CMP. For those competitors wanting more pistol shooting, Estacada Rod & Gun Club will host a 2700 pistol match on Sunday using their NEW turning target system. Fees for the 2700 will be collected at the range.

Proceeding the SAFS’s, Friday May 13th the CMP will conduct a Range Officers School at Douglas Ridge Rifle Club. Rifle in the morning and Pistol during the afternoon. This is a chance to learn what it takes to operate a range during a competition.

To register for any of the 3 events go to the CMP website CMP.org. The SAFS’s are listed under Education then Marksmanship 101 and choose the school of choice by clicking on the host club. The Range Officers course is under Education then Range Officers School.
