ATTENTION TO ALL PHA MEMBERS!
ALL PHA MEMBERS MUST WEAR THEIR PHA ID BADGES
ON THEIR PERSON (NOT ON YOUR RANGE BAG, NOT HANGING ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR OF YOUR VEHICLE, OR ANYWHERE ELSE) AT ALL TIMES WHILE ON PHA PROPERTY.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
If anyone asks about your badge, do not take it personally.
Just show your badge and thank them for asking.

ATTENTION ALL PHA MEMBERS! |

EFFECTIVE THURSDAY, MAY 28
All PHA matches will resume their normal schedule. However, we still must still follow a few NC restrictions while shooting matches.
They are:
-
While shooting outdoors, no more than 25 people will be allowed to participate in ANY PHA match.
- Everyone shooting the match must maintain the 6-foot separation.
- All match shooters, match directors, and RSO's must wear protective masks.
- No food can be provided at any match.
If these requirements cannot be complied with at any match, then the match must be canceled. These requirements will remain in place until the NC Governor relaxes them again. And we'll report those changes in the Range Report.
Also, the guest restriction has now been removed. Please follow the normal limitation, 2 per member, for guests you bring PHA Range.
PHA Board of Directors.

Bench Rest Match Results
Aug. 20, 2020
On Thursday, August 20, 2020, the Ron Gearren Memorial Match was held on what turned out to be a nice calm morning. We had a good turnout with 10 shooters. One shooter traveled from the Raleigh-Durham area to compete. Scores were very high and the competition was fierce.
Sporter Class-50 yard winner was Dennis Mueller. He had a score of 250/12x with his new Cooper.
Factory Class- 50 yard match had 3 shooters competing and ended in a 250/12x tie between Vince Swicegood and Harold Fullam.
The Iron Sight Class was smokin’ hot! Out of 4 shooters, all had a perfect score of 150. Vince Swicegood came out on top with 150/15x, closely followed by Paul Brinkman 150/14x, Tom
Whitlow 150/13x, and David Motsinger 150/10x.
The Iron Sight Class has exploded recently with the some of the best scores I have seen.
Great to see the shooters having fun and shooting well.
