Youth Action Pistol League
The Youth Action Pistol Leage (“YAPL”) is planning to kickoff again at PSC! This time the format will be markedly different with the creation of true league training and competition. YAPL will be open to all kids between the ages of 12 and 18 years and parents do not have to be members of PSC
Purpose
The new Youth Action Pistol League was created to bring an entirely new approach to teaching young people ages 12 to 18 how to safely use and enjoy handguns. Our founder, Charles L. Cotton, describes YAPL as “bringing little league baseball to the shooting sports.” This is a very good analogy as YAPL operations are far more than competitive shooting matches. Major components of YAPL activities are the training/practice sessions designed to teach our Kids to shoot safely and efficiently.
In response to input from Club Members, the PSC Shooting Club, Inc. Bylaws were amended at the Meeting on June 4, 2026. The requirement to be a member of the NRA in order to join or renew PSC membership has been repealed, effective July 1, 2026.
PSC always has and always will support the Second Amendment by making membership in a 2A organization a requirement of membership in the Club. Members can still meet this requirement by being a member of the NRA, but now they have options. PSC Members can be a member of any of the following organizations: 1) Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA); 2) National Rifle Association ( NRA); or 3) Gun Owners of America (GOA)
As noted above, this change is effective July 1, 2026 and will apply to all incoming new Members and people renewing their PSC membership next year for 2027-2028. This will allow our Members time to decide which organization(s) they want to support. The temporary suspension of the requirement to be a member of the NRA will expire at midnight on June 30, 2026.
In view of the ongoing issue with some SIG P320 handguns, the Board has made the decision to temporarily ban SIG P320 handguns from Club property. The PSC Shooting Club, Inc. does not have an opinion as to whether the SIG P320 is a defective product. We simply do not have the expertise. This decision is based upon the information available at this time. This temporary ban will be lifted if/when this issue has been resolved and safety of the P320 has been established.
This decision was not made lightly. The safety of our Members, their families and guests is paramount.
One of the most frequently heard comments when handing out new "smart" Club Badges was, "Great! Now we don't have to stop and sign in before we go to a range." Unfortunatly, a number of Members are not scanning their badge when they enter because they follow another Member who opened the gate. The article "How the New Badge System Works" addressed this issue, since it was another commenly asked question. The answer to the question about following another car through the gate is simple, "Yes, but stop long enough to “flash” your badge. This logs you into the system. You don’t have to wait until the gate closes and reopen it." It 's not sufficient to scan your badge at one of the range-specific readers. You must scan your badge at the gate to enter. Again, you don't have to wait for the gate to close. Just stop long enough to hold your badge next to the reader and see the "white circle" indicating your scan is complete.
Scanning in is NOT optional and this is not a minor issue. For insurance purposes, the Club needs to have a record of people using Club facilities. If this continues, we may have to return to using the sign-in booth. None of us wants to do that, so let's work together to prevent a step backwards.
Respectfully,
PSC Board of Directors
