The Sportsman's Voice vol. 69 |

Greetings!
Well it looks like the summer heat is behind us for the year and not a moment to soon as far as I am concerned.
I am excited to tell y’all about the new member portal that I have been working on. With the help of Chuck Garrett, Ruben and Jeannene Sandoval along with an IT professional, Dale Callow, we have developed what I believe to be another advancement bringing PCSC into modern times.
The new member process will roll out in the next week or so. We are currently doing final testing to be sure everything is working according to design. The new site will enable new members to complete their new member documents completely electronic no printing and scanning necessary. Much like the renewal process we rolled out last year.
So tell you friends and prospective members to hold on as their will not be an orientation in September and be on the lookout for a new link that will be on the PCSC website soon.
Thank you for your continued support and remember to always keep SAFETY first on the mind no matter what the task is.
Until next time
Ryan Donnell
PCSC President

So, all members who wish to run for any of these positions, or who would like to nominate other members, should attend the September 15 meeting to add to the ballot when the floor is opened for additional nominees (nominees may run for an officer OR director position). The Club will then approve the ballot subject to no future additions, by a majority vote of the members present at the September meeting. The vote on the approved ballot will be at the October membership meeting and will constitute the Election of the Officers and Directors.

Today's August pistol competition 08 13 2022, was a variation of the NRA bullseye match. We had two targets we placed at the 25 yard line - the smaller NRA B-16 target with its 9 1/2 inch scoring area and the larger NRA B-8(P) with its 19 1/2 inch scoring area.
The course of fire used the smaller target first. The competitors fired two magazines of 5 rounds each in one continuous string over a 10 minute time period. This is the "slow fire" part of the NRA bullseye match.
Then the competitors retrieved the small target and put up the larger target in its place for the "rapid fire" part of the match. The course of fire for this phase consisted of: 1. fire 5 rounds in 20 seconds, 2. fire another 5 rounds in 20 seconds, 3. fire 5 rounds in 10 seconds, and 4. finish with another 5 rounds in 10 seconds.
Then we gathered the targets and tabulated the results.
As we had discussed after the July match, we allowed two-handed shooting in this month's match.
Jon Kitts was the only purist for the match and shot one relay one-handed, scoring a 198 using his S&W 41 in .22 LR. So, he took the top slot for the 1-handed category, and with an excellent score.
For the two-handed category, Jon Kitts again demonstrated his mastery of this style of competition by taking the number 1 position with a score of 211. Ray Kewnig was right behind in 2nd place with score of 206 using his S&W 686 revolver. Coming in 3rd place was Sara Germann with 202 points using her H&K VP9. Jim Groce sat in the "you didn't place" 4th and 5th places, scoring 190 point each time, using his Kel-Tec CP33 in .22 LR for one relay and his STI 2011 in 9mm for the other relay.
Overall, a very fun change up for the monthly shooting competition.

Pistol Match Plan September 10 |
|
Hi all.
Info for the September 10, 2022 pistol match.
We'll do stage setups on Range A starting at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 10. Note that there will be a swap meet that day. So, the club house may have exhibitors in it. We'll play it by ear as to where to do the pre- and post- match briefs.
Attached are the standard rules for our monthly pistol matches and the September match stage layouts. Print these out if you want your own hardcopy.
We have some targets that drop this time. They won't drop until you hit the vital spot (a balloon). And you have to get them to drop in order to have the score count. Cease shooting the target once it touches the ground though. See the club's FB page for some pix and a little video on how this works.
See you there!
Jim Groce
