We hosted the CPR and Trauma Class today 7/29/17. We now have a first class trauma kit and an AED on the way. Scott McGuffie will find a " break glass in case of emergency " cabinet to put them in !

Most of Range G and F work has been done with some down spouts and French drain to be done.  Ray will limit range down time to during the week non peak times of Tues-Thurs. Scott is designing a French drain to aid in clearing run off in a neat fashion.

I want to keep this notice up for a while.

PLEASE:

DO NOT put targets close to the edge of the target board.

This invites shot up frames ! 
Please give extra effort to taking care of target frames. Don't put too many targets on frame. Keep targets away from the edge where the wood frame is. See the article below by the director we pay to keep our frames in good condition.
It is imperative we keep this cost down. One of the ways we keep dues down is to avoid waste.  Shot up target frames is waste. If you see a member shooting up a frame from willfully or from neglect, please report member number and name if possible to me or Jon Kitts via the contact us form on the website:

Enjoy the range and be safe !

The Facebook PCSC PAGE has gotten tremendous number of Likes and many reviews with only one review less that a "5". We are keeping the website very simple as a contact spot for potential members, timely announcements, brief news and the main support is the REPOSITORY for document download.

By Jon Kitts: Please help by not putting oversized targets, targets too close to edge and therefore shooting up the wooden part of the target frames. Membership fees can go up to accommodate the excessive repair in labor and materials that come from not caring for the target frames. Read More click here.
