Putnam County Gun Club

PCGC Member Crystal Newman will be conducting a free Next Steps handgun class at PCGC following our work party May 5.
Leslie Rubin from WCHS TV will be there filming. They will be using the Action Pistol bays for a couple of hours 2-4pm. Anyone women interested that have already had Basic Pistol, contact Crystal Newman on Facebook.

Work Party May 5, 9a-3p

Bring yourself, shovels, rakes, and a positive attitude!

Port-a-Pottys are in & at temporary locations. There will be some earth moving going on for a week starting Apr28-ish during the days. We will be removing the crappy silver target shed at the pistol range and replacing it with a conex box. Ditches will be cleaned out at various places, basic drainage issues addressed. The backhoe has precedence over shooting when it is in use. We don’t want to upset shooters, but we only have the equipment for one week and must get the work done when we can, to make your ranges better. Please be courteous to the equipment operator and give way.

The portapottys will be relocated to the new flat high area across from the current outhouse. This is out of the flood plane and will give access to all.

Shooters: Bad news from Summersville, W.Va. The Wadcutters range property was
sold by its owners to a new owner, who required the range to be closed down and
cleared off by mid-April. He refused to allow the club to delay until after the
Mountaineer Regional, scheduled to be held May 26-27. As a result, the Regional
has been CANCELLED.

Losing the Summersville range is a real setback, as it was the largest pistol
range in the state with turning targets and all the facilities to support major
events.

As for the State Championship that has been scheduled for September 22-23 at
Summersville, there are plans in the works. The Brassmasters club, in
Buckhannon, W.Va., has applied to the State R&P Association for approval to host
the State Match at the WVSRPA pistol range at White Horse shooting complex,
located between Bridgeport and Buckhannon at Peeltree, Barbour County. The
range is operated by Brassmasters, and improvements will be made this summer.

Stay tuned for any further developments. If you have any questions, email Ed &
Delores Williams at champions1@frontier.com, or me at isljr@juno.com.

Ed and Pie Clark had the best bid for our annual contract.

They will be keeping our ranges mowed and trash hauled off. We do ask that you not leave any food scraps in the trash containers, as this brings in varmints that scatter the trash. Please take food containers with you when you leave. Range trash containers are for targets and other shooting waste.

NEVER NEVER NEVER Shoot at glass targets!

Please pick up after yourself when you finish shooting.

Thank you

If you teach any class at PCGC, even for one student, you MUST inform a PCGC Club officer in advance!!

You also MUST pay PCGC $2.00 per shooter by the next club meeting.

You may never close any range for a class without prearranging and getting date approved at a PCGC Club meeting.

9AM-3PM

Please bring gloves, shovels, rakes, any spare lumber suitable for target backer maintenance.

We will be picking up trash and rocks, as well as working on Rifle Range target backers

7PM Winfield Lions Club Main St Winfield.

Please remove all cardboard from target backers when you are done shooting at the Pistol Range. We have the target shed clean, and need help keeping it that way. Please take home with you any target materials you bring.

We have become lax in cleaning up after ourselves. REMOVE all targets and trash when you are leaving the range. The winds are blowing targets and cardboard all over the area.

This Spring, we will be having a work-party to replace backers at the Rifle range… Stay Tuned

The PCGC membership voted last night to end our agreement with KVCTC and the earth-moving classes. We feel that they have done all they can do for us and PCGC would like to thank KVCTC and Martin Dotson for the work done.
