REMINDER


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.

PHA Board of Directors.
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.
Upcoming Matches

5-Stand Shotgun

The 5-Stand shotgun for this Saturday
will be starting at 8 am. 



With due concern for our volunteers health, the Sunday 5-Stand is canceled due to forecast for extremely high heat index.
Attention!
Call for Volunteers.

OK everybody, listen up.

We are sorely in need of volunteers for the 5-Stand Shotgun.

PHA was built based on volunteers and donations.

Now we're asking for volunteers to
help keep the 5-stand venue going.

Volunteers are needed for Saturday and for Sunday. Unless some of you volunteer (it's only a few hours on 1 day a month) for this venue on Saturday and Sunday, we will have to cut back the schedules for both days. Saturday shoots each Saturday except for a 5th Saturday. Sunday has already cut back to the 3rd and 4th Sunday of each month. We also shoot on the 5th Sunday of a month.

Please contact Rick Muetzel via email and let him know that you would like to help. The entire club thanks you for your support!

Annual Membership Renewal

This is for all members in all PHA organizations.
Everything you need to know.


The annual membership renewal has started

Everything was mailed in an envelope via US Mail from PHA. This envelope contains all the forms that you will need to renew your membership for the coming year.

Your Membership Renewal envelope contains the following:

  • Membership Renewal form. Be sure to fill in all the required information and sign and date it near the bottom of the form.
  • Range Rules form. Be sure to fill in all the required information and sign and date it near the bottom of the form.
  • Ballot. There is an election for PHA Club Officers and At-Large Board Members. You may also receive a ballot for PHA Range and/or PHA Range II if you are a stockholder in one or both of those organizations. Be sure to mark your ballots.
  • Raffle/Donation Tickets. There are 12 raffle/donation tickets included for the Kind Heart program. When you buy your tickets, please issue a separate check. Please return any unused tickets. (See article below for more information about Kind Heart.)

All your documents will be returned to you to be completed. You will have to re-submit everything. This will delay the issuance of your new membership card.

Adopt-A-Highway
It's Official.
We have adopted a highway.

We just received our official papers from NCDOT that we have been approved to adopt a 1.8 mile section of Hwy 150. It starts at Wilson Road and ends at Wilson Road. We are obligated to do a litter pickup 4 times a year. We will be scheduling our first pickup soon. And yes, we will need a few volunteers. Stay tuned.
