Please note that SOP by the NC Guard for Camp Butner ranges, including KD4, is that eye protection is REQUIRED. While the NRA rules and NSSC rules only encourage eye protection, it is REQUIRED by the Guard. Therefore, all participants in NSSC matches must wear eye pro when on the line shooting AND scoring. Not an NSSC rule as stated, but is one we have no choice but enforce at our matches if we want to use the range. Thank you for your understanding and compliance.

North State Shooting Club Competitors
We hope everyone is doing well as we start a new season of competitive shooting at North State. If you haven’t yet checked our website at northstateshootingclub.com, we have our 2026 match schedule posted. Our schedule offers 18 match events this year and we are very excited to see even more competitors attend this year. We do need assistance from our competitors to help us make 2026 another successful year in shooting competition.
1. Please use our easy to use on-line registration and payment in advance of the
event you plan to attend including practice days and match weekends. Click
“Events” on upper tool bar to see the individual matches. Advance registration
and payment makes organizing and operating the match fast and efficient.
2. We appreciate assistance from competitors with event set up and take down.
See the Match Director on range for an assignment.
3. Our greatest need is to get competitors certified as Range Safety Officer
(RSO) with the NCNG Camp Butner Training Center. Our club is required to
have three people on-site at all times during the match; two of which must be
certified RSO’s and one that has First Aid/CPR certification. Becoming a RSO is
easy. You attend a two-hour class at Camp Butner and pass a simple test
earning you a two year certificate. We appoint multiple RSO’s during a match so
that one RSO is not shooting.
4. We need RSO certified competitors to serve as Match Director/Officer in
Charge (MD/OIC) to run each event. North State runs 18 matches each year
providing shooting for 500 or more competitors at one of the finest full-length
ranges in the Southeast. Without MD/OIC we cannot hold matches. Click on
“Match Results” on the toolbar. The right margin shows the name of the volunteer. (see screen shot below). We provide instructions and on-site help. Contact Carlton Bray at [email protected] to volunteer for one of our open dates. MD/OIC earn three free match weekends and may receive motel reimbursement.

We’re excited about the great shooting opportunities we have for 2026. The Shot
Marker Target System has been a huge benefit and has made matches more enjoyable. We look forward to seeing you this coming season.

For anyone that suffers from elbow issues, I finally found the guy that sells the elbow pads I have been using for the last several years. I couldnt remember where I bought them and finally did the right google search. FYI, his online credit card thing is down, so you will need to call him. I got two sets on the way.

The government shutdown is still going on and that will prevent us from using Camp Butner to shoot on. With that being said we have decided to move the last match this year, The Iron Man Match, to Central Carolina Gun Club. Same location as the last match. Pre Registration is required as we need to find the numbers for squadding purposes on the shotmarker system. This match will be shot on the shotmarker system as we have done at Camp Butner. Any questions just send me a DM or ask.
