PSC Badge Distribution:  The distribution of new PSC “Smart” Badges is almost complete.  There are only a few Members who have not picked up their Badges.  If you have not yet picked up your Badge, then you can do so by coming to the Club and calling the Range Officer (“RO”) phone at 832-221-2625.  The on-duty RO will tell you how to open the gate so you can get your Badge.

Pistol Bay D:  The engineering is essentially completed for the ariel baffles for Bay D and work will begin as soon as we get the required city permit.  The design seen on Bay E will be duplicated on Bay D as it is the most efficient.  That said, Bay F is very popular and even makes it possible to shoot in the rain!  Nevertheless, in terms of grass growth and sunlight, the more open format will be used.

No Tailgate-Through-the-Gate:  This has been covered in at least two emails and two website articles, but we are still having a problem with  Members not using  their Badges at the gate to log in.  Typically, this happens on one of two ways.  The more common  problem is a Member following another Member through the gate without “flashing” their Badge at the  gate reader.  While you don’t have to wait for the gate to close, you still have to stop long enough to hold your Badge up to the reader and get the white round circle confirming the “read.” 

The second way this happens is a Member not having their new Badge and trying to enter the old gate code that no longer works.  The video shows a number of folks using a code that fails, then they pull away from the gate and follow another Member sometime later.  This can’t continue folks.  If you don’t have your new Badge, then follow the procedure outlined in the first paragraph.  Have a Badge – use a badge.
