NEW Match Schedules!!!
Several matches have been scheduled for new dates beginning January of 2008.  Don't miss your favorite match:

Thank you to all who participated in the PSGC Toy Drive!
Thanks to your generosity the PSGC was able to donate approximately $600 of toys to Shelter from the Storm, a local charitable organization who provides comprehensive services to victims of domestic violence…professionally, ethically, and compassionately.

Transporting Firearms in Canada: To get information on transporting guns in Canadian call 1 800 731-4000 or e-mail Canadian.firearms@justice.gc.ca Web site: www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca

A word from the President:

Police Training: If police are training on the range, you must go directly to the officer in charge, show him your membership card and see if there is a free bay you can shoot on.  Now and then, swat team training is going on.  They will be running all over the place and it is not safe for you to be shooting. 

Range Etiquette: Our sport is fantastic! It is among only a few which one may participate in regardless of physical stature or gender. We see world-class competitors in their early teens as well senior citizens. However, when we gather before, during and after a match, we must exhibit proper range etiquette. Please yield your full and undivided attention to the match directors once the shooters meeting is called to order, and be silent and attentive as the range rules are being read. During the match, once a shooter is given the “ load and make ready command” and until the “range is clear” command is given the only individuals that should speak are the RO’s, and if needed the shooter. This is to avoid confusion as well as distractions. The actual “quiet time”, being referred to is minimal. This message is not meant to reprimand anyone but is just a friendly reminder of what we all already know.

Message from PSGC Board: Someone has apparently complained to the California Department of Justice that gun control laws are being broken at the range, i.e., that illegal guns and magazines are being sold and that machine guns are being used. The Club has responded to the allegations with the facts, but we all know that facts don’t mean much to anti-gunners. Please make sure when buying or selling that you are following all state and federal laws. Deal with a licensed gun dealer.

Match Notices: Joe Burns, match director for the 3-Gun, would like to remind everyone to bring at least 20 shotgun slugs to each match.  You should bring an assortment 00 to #6 since the plates sometimes won't fall with the lighter loads.

NRA Membership
The club encourages everyone who is not a member to join - and don't forget that just because you may be a member, the rest of your family are not.  There are a wide variety of memberships (some for as little as $10.00 a year) and with every member signed up, the club receives a donation.

PSGC General Meetings
PSGC general meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 P.M.  Meetings are held at Burger Time, 78-365 Varner Road in Palm Desert just north of the I-10 near Washington.
