USING THE NWCSA CALENDAR

The NWCSA posts an events calendar around March of each year. It’s typical for the club to host 125+ activities events and programs on the property, for every member of the family.

The calendar allows you to filter searches to find everything that interests you. The following information will help you use the built-in features to narrow your searches.

‘VIEW’ LAYOUTS

The NWCSA Calendar defaults to Summary view. This layout displays the most information on the page, in a scrolling format.

You can change the calendar view, at any time, by clicking the dropdown menu (box) to the right of the search bar.

View options:

  • Summary: Default view – displays key information including event name, date, and time
  • List: displays key information with a short event description in a scrolling format
  • Month: displays a classic calendar view with event name
  • Week: displays a calendar view with time blocks
  • Day: displays a single day with information

Click the Event Title, from any view layout, to open single event details!

FILTERS

EVENT CATEGORIES

Now, let’s use the calendar’s filters to start narrowing the events you want displayed. The ‘Filter’ section can be found on the left side of the page, below the search bar.

Each event is assigned a primary Event Category such as our shooting disciplines:

  • Archery
  • Action Pistol
  • Etc.

Start by selecting a specific Category type, for example, ALL Archery events:

  1. MENU – select ‘Summary’ View
  2. CATEGORY – select ‘Archery’

The results will display basic information; month, time, event title, and applicable fee, for ALL Archery events. Next to displaying the entire calendar, the event category filter is the second broadest way you can organize events.

TAGS

Tags are ‘keywords’ assigned to describe an individual event.

For example, let’s say you want to search all Trap events associated with a League:

  1. MENU – select ‘Summary’ View
  2. CATEGORY – select ‘Trap’
  3. TAGS – select ‘League’

The results will display the information; month, time, event title, and applicable fee, for ALL Trap events associated with a League.

SERIES

If the same event is held on different dates throughout the year, they are labelled in a ‘Series’.

For example, let’s search Bullseye Pistol Match:

  1. MENU – select ‘Summary’ View
  2. CATEGORY – select ‘Pistol’
  3. SERIES – select ‘Bullseye Pistol Match’

The results will display the information; month, time, event title, and applicable fee, for ALL Bullseye Pistol Matches scheduled throughout the year.

PARTICIPANT TYPE

This filter defines who can register and participate in the event. Participant types are grouped as follows:

  1. Members Only – limited to NWCSA members
  2. Public – open to all participants
  3. Private – invited participants only

GROUP TYPE

In some cases, events are limited to a particular group to foster growth in conservation and shooting sports.

Group types are:

  1. Youth/Junior – open to participant ages defined on individual event listing
  2. Girls/Women

Using any combination of the filters, allows you to maximize your search ‘tuning’. One final point; you can see specific event details, by clicking the Event Title from any results page.

We hope this guide helps you navigate the NWCSA Calendar.
