2026-2027 PSC Renewal Season Is Open!
Renewal season for the 2026-2027 PSC membership year is open and will close at midnight on June 30, 2026. Late renewal season runs from July 1st through July 31st, with a late fee, so renew now.
Unlike prior years, you will not receive a new Member Badge in the mail. The RFI (“smart card”) you received last year is your permanent Member Badge. It will remain valid as long as you continue to renew your membership. The only reason you will receive a new Badge is if you lose your current Badge. This is relatively rare, but when it happens, the lost Badge is deactivated and a new Badge is mailed to the Member.
As always, you can pay the dues with any credit card or debit card using the Club’s PayPal account. You do not need to have a PayPal account yourself. If you submit a renewal application but something happens and you do not complete payment of dues on PayPal, your renewal will not be complete and your renewal form will be automatically deleted. You will have to submit another renewal form and pay the dues.
Beginning on Monday, April 6th, a list of Badge numbers of Members who have submitted a paid renewal form will be available on he Club’s website at https://PSCshootingClub.com under the Forms tab in the main menu. This list will be updated periodically with Mondays being the target each week. This is a target, not a guarantee.
As previously noted, the NRA membership requirement has been temporarily suspended, pending a final decision by the Board. You do not need to join or extend your NRA membership to renew your PSC membership. More information on this issue will be provided at a future date.
As always, please renew early and avoid the last-minute rush.
Let Me Tell You How it was back in ought 6.
By: Randy Parker, PSC Rifle Director
I wasn’t around back in 1906, but I was probably around when your grandpa was a kid. Back when I was a kid when you thought about an “air gun” you were thinking about a Red Rider BB gun or a Benjamin pump-up pellet gun. These were used mainly by kids to have fun and maybe kill a sparrow or maybe a rat if you were lucky. Back then you wanted a .22 to do real shooting, and a box of .22 ammo was about $0.50 to $0.60 per box of .22 Long Rifle. Yes, and gasoline was $0.20 per gallon. We have come a long way since then, and “air gun” technology has also come a long way.
Back in 1800 there was the Girardoni air rifle and one or several of these were taken along with the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1803. The Girardoni air rifle was a .46 caliber air gun producing a 1,000 ft per second muzzle velocity and could penetrate a 1” pine board at 100 yards. This rapid-fire rifle could shoot 22 times in less than one minute with high accuracy! Way better performance than the muzzle loading muskets of the time. Some of these air guns were used in European battles around 1790 to 1800. It is kind of amazing that there was not any investment in further development of air guns as a battlefield weapon. Anyway, after the Lewis and Clark Expedition air guns pretty much disappeared and we were left with the Red Rider BB gun.
Temporary SIG P320 ban
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.
