1980's

The 80’s brought interest to the Alexandria Bay and Ft. Drum area. Pine Tree Point joined our league, and Ft. Drum agreed to post a list of teams and contact information in case there was any interest. Belleville lost their home field and was forced to shoot all away matches. The formation of the “50 Club” had some members shooting 50 targets on league night. With their first 25 counted for their team score. “50 Club” members had to shoot five times to have their average count at the end of the year. The league Historian, Jim Rounds, recognized Harold Ramsdell as being the only original person still shooting in the NTTL, who had not missed a single shoot (1988). Unfortunately, Harold passed away a year later from a heart attack (1989) In 1984 a league record was set by Henderson who had fired 11 perfect matches. The Lyme Club hosted a traveling trophy shoot. In the early years the NTTL also had an "E" Class. Clubs included: Henderson, Carthage, Sackets Harbor, Macinist, Kingston, Pine Tree Point, Belleville, Adams Center, Lyme, Beaver River and Watertown.
