You can checkout the chronograph at The Gun Store and then return it to The Gun Store after using it. It would be good to call ahead and check on availability.

You must sign up for this training by September 4. Contact the Recording Secretary to sign up for this course. There are no fees to attend and pass this course. It is suggested that you already be a member of the NRA.

All ballots MUST be received by

This is to remind you that the August General Meeting will be held on Thursday, August 8, at 7 pm at the Ocean View Restaurant in Lexington.

The Election results will be announced and a new Board of Directors installed.

Come early and have dinner with your

fellow members and share some stories.

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:

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

If you have any questions,

please contact the Recording Secretary .

Cut this out and tape it on the refrigerator.

All targets must be placed directly in front of the berms. Do not place targets between the firing point and the leading edge of berms since this can cause dangerous ricochets.

Open House is on Saturday, September 21.

Good Idea? Bad Idea?

In March of this year, our own Dick Jones wrote an article for Gun Digest on converting a 1911 to a .22 LR pistol. Maybe this will help you to decide.
