YOU ASKED FOR IT, NOW YOU HAVE IT!
We have had several requests from you, the members, for more steel pistol targets, specifically the hostage type with the alternating head and moving center. We purchased three additional sets of these targets and make the whole north side of the pistol cells (1-15) into steel targets only and the opposite (south) side cells into paper targets only. The exception will be cell 5 which will remain a paper target cell for those times when a shooter may need to check your zero on paper so you won’t have to go to the other side just for that. And of course cell 6 which is for SHOTGUNS ONLY. They should be installed in about three weeks.
As the steel targets are very popular and fun to shoot, more people will be shooting on the “steel side” which can create a parking issue, particularly in the 5-6 corner. We’re putting additional parking spots in front of Tin Can Alley and you can always park along the access road. Just please be mindful of where and how you park to make room for others. Park at 90 degrees to the road; i.e. no parallel parking.
Any questions or comments, feel free to email me.

Be Good and Do What Your Mama Told You
We all remember what our mama told us about how to act. Yes, she said always follow the Golden Rule, “Do to others how you want others to do to you”. That Golden Rule is a reflection of part of the answer Jesus gave to the religious officials who had asked him, “Which is the most important commandment?” The second part of Jesus’s answer was, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” So, mom was right on target! Just think how much anxiety and anger would be avoided if everyone followed mom’s advice.
Here at PSC we would do well to remember mom’s advice when going down range to place, evaluate, pr retrieve targets. When there are only one or two shooters on the firing line, it is pretty easy to get agreement for a cease fire so a shooter can go down range to place or retrieve targets. However, when several shooters are on the firing line, it can be frustrating to call a cease fire every couple of minutes for someone to go down range. For some folks getting time to go to the range is not easy to find, especially if you must drive a longe distance. Range time is precious when you are trying to work technical issues with different loads, sight adjustments, or with new equipment. Be generous when negotiating with shooters on the firing line for a time to call a cease fire. Especially aggravating is when a guy wheels up, stops, jumps out of his truck and wants to call a cease fire so HE can go down range and place HIS targets. So be considerate when requesting a cease fire, you should expect to wait 5,10, or even 15 minutes before the firing line can me made safe for shooters to go down range. Everyone will be happier and safer if you remember mom’s advice, “Do to others how you want others to do to you.”
Basic Handgun Skills Class - Ladies Only
The most popular class taught at PSC for many years has been the Ladies Only Basic Handgun Skills Class. This Class is now on the schedule for Saturday, Nov. 1st from 9:00AM until Noon.

Temporary SIG P320 ban
In view of the ongoing issue with some SIG P320 handguns, the Board has made the decision to temporarily ban SIG P320 handguns from Club property. The PSC Shooting Club, Inc. does not have an opinion as to whether the SIG P320 is a defective product. We simply do not have the expertise. This decision is based upon the information available at this time. This temporary ban will be lifted if/when this issue has been resolved and safety of the P320 has been established.
This decision was not made lightly. The safety of our Members, their families and guests is paramount.
