EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

Due to the COVID-19 virus and in

the interest of your safety,

ALL MATCHES AND SCHEDULED PHA ACTIVITIES ARE CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

We expect this to last at least until April 30.

Any changes will be announced in a Range Report.

NOTE : During this time, PHA members are NOT to bring any guests or visitors into the PHA Range.

PHA members are only allowed to bring in anyone from their immediate family.

This is being done in the interest of the welfare of the general membership and to follow the sanctions imposed by North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper.

When it is time to resume normal activities, it will be published here in the Range Report.

This is a decision made by the PHA Board of Directors.

THIS IS A LIST OF OTHER CANCELLATIONS UP TO APRIL 30.

More Information

The Range will not be closed. It will remain open during this time period. Please exercise proper main gate etiquette during this time as you come and go. Please do not congregate in groups of 10 or more while at the Range.

As things change, they will be announced here in the Range Report. We are merely following the sanctions given by Governor Roy Cooper for the state of North Carolina. When these sanctions are lifted, we anticipate resuming our normal schedule. We will issue a Special Range Report immediately to let you know.

If you have any questions, please contact any Board Member.

The North Carolina Friends of NRA conducts money raising events periodically that supports youth shooting and firearms safety programs in our state. The money raised at these events are not used by the NRA for any other cause. It provides funds for high school and middle school shooting teams, FFA shooting programs, Boy Scout shooting programs, FFA hunter safety programs, ROTC shooting programs, 4-H shooting programs, American Legion junior shooting sports programs, and Merit Scholarships for Community College gunsmithing programs. All the money raised in North Carolina stays in North Carolina.

I had the pleasure of attending the event in November when the money was distributed and divided among the many youth programs in our state in need of funding. We, as a Shooting Club, need to be more active in supporting the Friends of NRA. 

The NRA Friends banquet is being held this year on  June 12th . They serve a wonderful dinner. There are raffles for guns and equipment. There will be a silent auction and a regular auction. If you have never been to this event, it is wonderful program for a great cause.

You do NOT have to be a member of NRA  to purchase a ticket and attend.

Individual tickets are $35.00 for a single person.

A Patriot's table is also available. A Patriot's table seats eight people ($125 per Patriot) and costs $1000. That includes 8 tickets and 8 knives per table. Each person at the table has a 1 in 8 chance of winning a firearm from the prize list. If you're interested in sitting at a table but lack 7 others, no problem. We will do our very best to book you at a table with 7 other individuals so that you will have a 1 in 8 chance at winning a gun of your choice. This event is held at the Richard Childress complex in Welcome.

N.C. Friends of NRA is a 501.3c organization. If you would like to purchase the entire table, there is a tax deduction available. Or if you would like to make a simple donation, that is also tax deductible.

Please remember that the more youth we get into our sport, the stronger and longer our future will last.

Please contact me for tickets or information.

Thank you.
