Match Results
RON GEARREN MEMORIAL .22 MATCH

The Ron Gearren .22 Match on September 19 began with 11 shooters on a cool, calm day. All shooters had a good day and scores were very close.
The wind got up just as the Iron Sight Class began, but it did not seem to bother Paul Brinkman with his new (old) “Annie 54”. He had a top score of 250/20x despite the wind and his first time shooting in this class.

Factory 50 – Tom Whitlow 250/24x
Sporter 50 – Steve Russell 250/17x
Sporter 80 – David Motsinger 249/20x
Iron 50 – Paul Brinkman 250/20x

Congratulations to all shooters and thank you for the large turnout.

Reminders
If you have not already renewed your membership, you must do that soon. The due date is September 1 but you have until September 30 to renew without penalty. Your envelope must be postmarked September 30 or before to avoid paying a penalty. If it is postmarked after September 30 then you must pay a $50 penalty in addition to the annual renewal fee.

PHA Membership Renewal Season
is Now in Progress.
Here is What You Need To Know.
Now is the time to renew your PHA Annual Membership.
All of the renewal forms were mailed by July 5.

You will receive an envelope via US Mail from PHA. This envelope contains all of the papers that you 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 of the required information and be sure to sign and date it near the bottom of the form.
  • Range Rules form. Be sure to fill in all of the required information and be sure to sign and date it near the bottom of the form.
  • Ballot. There is also an election for PHA Club Officers and At-Large Board Members. Be sure to mark your ballots. You may also receive a ballot for PHA Range and/or PHA Range II.
  • A pre-addressed return envelope is also included for you to return all of your documents to PHA.

After you have signed your documents and marked your ballot(s), place them in the pre-addressed envelope, put a stamp on it, then mail it.

NOTE : PHA Club members must also include a check for $125 for their annual dues.

NOTE : If you do not sign all of your renewal documents and/or if you do not include your annual dues payment, if required, your new membership card will not be issued to you. All of your documents will be returned to you to be completed. And then you will have to re-submit. This will delay the issuance of your new membership card.

NOTE:  If a PHA Club member anticipates a difficulty, due to job, medical reasons or other reasons, in paying their annual dues, contact President Ray Owens prior to September 1, 2019.

Here are important dates for you to remember.

  • July 5. Your Membership renewal envelope containing forms and ballots were mailed out by this date.
  • July 20. If you have NOT received your renewal envelope by this date, you must contact the Recording Secretary immediately and let us know that you have NOT received your renewal information.
  • Membership cards are now being mailed out.
  • September 1. PHA membership renewals are due on this day.
  • September 30. This is the final day to renew your membership without penalty.
  • October 1 to December 31. Memberships renewed during this time period will incur a $50 penalty in addition to the $125 annual dues.
  • December 31. This is the final day that dues + penalty will be accepted. If you have not renewed by this date, you will be officially dropped from the PHA membership rolls. If you renew after this date, you must re-apply as a brand new member and pay the new member fees.

If you have any questions,
please contact the  Recording Secretary .

Cut this out and tape it on the refrigerator.
