The Range Report
October 29, 2020
ATTENTION
Due to a hard, short rain, (3 inches in one hour) the 100-yard bridge over the creek has been damaged. Therefore, the 100-yard berm is NOT accessible at this time.

UPDATE: We are trying to get an appointment with a local construction company for an onsite review.

Currently, there is a temporary footbridge in place that can be used to cross over the creek. Please use with caution.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

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!
Governor Cooper's Phase 3 does
not change anything for PHA.


All PHA matches will continue their normal schedule. However, we still must still follow a few NC restrictions while shooting matches.

They are:

  • While shooting outdoors, no more than 50 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 been removed. Please follow the normal limitation, 2 per member, for guests you bring PHA Range.

PHA Board of Directors.

Match Results

I would like to thank everyone that came out this year to shoot and support our bench rest matches, especially those who came out early each time to set up the range.

Due to the virus, we lost six matches this year but we still were able to have a successful year. We had an average of 9 shooters at each of our matches, 13 different shooters, and 4 new shooters. We saw 10 shooters score high enough to get into the 250 club. I compared scores from June to October and saw improvement in everyone scores. Especially in the open-site class.

The open-site class and the factory class are our most competitive classes. A factory class rifle is an "off the shelf" rifle with a 12X scope. 

After our regular match, we held a "fun" match where I passed out old CMP Remington White box ammunition to everyone. As you know, 22's are very sensitive to different ammunitions. It took a
while for everyone to get their guns sited-in close. Scores were at least 10 points lower than usual. It was a challenge but I think everybody enjoyed it.

Factory Class - 50 yards
Anselmo Lastra (Al) 250-8X CZ457

The two officers are: Secretary, Membership Secretary.
