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. It is limited to 12 students, so please register early if you would like to attend. This class will be offered again in the regular format, i.e. a coed class, in the next few weeks.
Texas DPS has changed its regulations for the range portion of the LTC Class. In light of this change, Students will have the option to get credit for the range portion of the LTC class at no extra charge. Then they can take an online LTC class. Again, this is optional, but all students will shoot the LTC range qualification as part of this class.
More information about the Basic Handgun Skills Class is provided on the registration page linked below. Unless a waiver is granted, this class is required in order to take the Intermediate Handgun Skills Class I or II.
The fee for the class is $99 for PSC Members and spouses; $125 for non-members.

Remember Folks: You must scan your badge to enter the Club!!
One of the most frequently heard comments when handing out new "smart" Club Badges was, "Great! Now we don't have to stop and sign in before we go to a range." Unfortunatly, a number of Members are not scanning their badge when they enter because they follow another Member who opened the gate. The article "How the New Badge System Works" addressed this issue, since it was another commenly asked question. The answer to the question about following another car through the gate is simple, "Yes, but stop long enough to “flash” your badge. This logs you into the system. You don’t have to wait until the gate closes and reopen it." It 's not sufficient to scan your badge at one of the range-specific readers. You must scan your badge at the gate to enter. Again, you don't have to wait for the gate to close. Just stop long enough to hold your badge next to the reader and see the "white circle" indicating your scan is complete.
Scanning in is NOT optional and this is not a minor issue. For insurance purposes, the Club needs to have a record of people using Club facilities. If this continues, we may have to return to using the sign-in booth. None of us wants to do that, so let's work together to prevent a step backwards.
Respectfully,
PSC Board of Directors
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.
