PMSC MEMBERS HANDBOOK

May 2026

THE CONSERVATION PLEDGE

The Conservation Pledge: I give my pledge as an American to save and faithfully defend from waste, the natural resources of my country; the soil, the water, the air, the minerals, the plant life and the wildlife. This is my Pledge!

Welcome to PMSC

Welcome to YOUR club! We hope that this Member Handbook introduces you to the facilities and some of the activities here at PMSC. Please keep in mind that no booklet can capture all our activities nor can it always have the most up-to-date information and rules. Please refer to the club’s website, www.pmsconline.com, for the most current information, rules, calendar of events, fees and contact information.

PMSC provides the Community with programs and facilities of interest to the sportsman and strive to promote sportsmanship, fellowship, and training in safe handling of firearms and their ownership responsibility. These programs and facilities are tailored to fit youth, men, and women and to provide recreational opportunities for all, especially youth shooting programs of all kinds and the education and instruction of safe gun and bow handling.

We would like to take a moment to remind you that PMSC owes its existence to members who volunteer to do things for the club. Whether you volunteer for large projects like painting or rebuilding structures or merely spend a few extra minutes at the range cleaning up old targets, know that the state of the club depends on you helping to keep it functional and attractive. Additionally, participating in work parties, volunteering for a committee, or helping with events is a great way of not only helping the club but also it makes the club “yours.” It is also a great way to meet other members. If you already help around the club, we say, “thank you” on behalf of the members. If you don’t yet participate in this way, we encourage you to give it some consideration as PMSC is only as strong as its volunteers.

Welcome, and see you at the club!

The social hall, pavilion, and ball field are available for public rental. Discounted rates are available for club members. See the Banquet Hall Committee head for details on renting these facilities.

New Member Checklist

Here are some things for new members to get the most out of their PMSC membership.

During your first 12 months of membership you are a “probationary member” which still gives you full access to the facilities but means that you cannot vote, be a Director or Officer, and must attend at least one monthly meeting and complete one work party during this 12 month period.

Work party opportunities are scheduled for the third Sunday of the month (some adjustments may be made due to conflicts), discussed at the monthly meeting, on the forum, or you may contact any officer or director of the club for unscheduled work that you may perform. Communication gets you credit for the work that you may have done.

A gate keycard will allow you access to the club grounds and the combination building. Members must always scan in and out, regardless if the main gate is locked open. There must not be any piggy backing in or out of PMSC (meaning one car scans the gate open and several cars follow through). The cost of these cards is $10.

If you have problems with your gate card or need to purchase one, please contact someone on the website and they will assist you with the process.

Great ways of getting involved and meeting other members:

1. Come to the monthly membership meeting (details on the next page). If you attend these meetings, you’ll be up to date on club events, services, and opportunities.
2. Use the website (www.pmsconline.com) and membership forum to see the schedule of events, ask questions, plan get-togethers, share ideas, and, etc.
3. Join a committee. The committees and their contact information are listed on the website under “contact” on the main bar.
4. Come to a scheduled work party.

PMSC WAIVER

Due to our Club Insurance Policy all members and guests must have signed a club waiver. Please sign and return to an Officer or Director in order to comply with our Insurance companies’ policy.

Corrections / Changes

Please be aware that items such as committee contact information, rules, and costs might have changed since this version of the handbook was made. The club will keep the handbook on the website and make every effort to keep it up to date. Please refer to it for the latest information.

Dues and Membership

Annual dues for an active member are $125, spousal $20, and junior (under 18) $10. Dues can be paid at any time during the current year and until the January membership meeting. Memberships renewed after the January membership meeting incur a $25 late fee and if the dues are not paid by the end of January, the membership is forfeited and the person must reapply for membership (including paying the initiation fee again).

Note that the club sends out renewal emails and not physical renewal bills. It is your responsibility to renew by the end of the year. Dues can only be paid to the Membership Committee at a monthly membership meeting, on our Wild-Apricot web site or by mail to PMSC Membership, 505 Mosside Blvd. (Rte. 48), North Versailles, PA 15137 or PMSC Membership, PO Box 24512, Pittsburgh PA 15234 (include your membership number). Checks should be payable to: PMSC. Send questions to membership@pmsconline.com. Do not put your dues anywhere else; such as in the guest sign-in box.

Monthly Membership Meetings

Meetings are on the first Wednesday of each month and start at 7pm. (The December meeting may be scheduled on the second Wednesday of the month due to hunting season. Check the website’s calendar if the first Wednesday of the month is a holiday.) The meeting is held in the Social Hall which is building #1 on the map in the front of this handbook. All club business, events, activities, suggestions, and problems are discussed at the meetings, which generally last between one and two hours and are great opportunities to get to know the club, its leaders, and fellow members.

All of the work done at the club is done on a volunteer basis. Members can hear about upcoming work parties, join committees, make recommendations, and learn about other opportunities to help at these meetings.

Facilities and Rules

Rifle Ranges (#8 & #9)

There is no cost to use these ranges. To get to the rifle ranges, enter through the electronic gate, make a lef at the outdoor archery range, and follow the road to the top of the hill. The rifle range has shooting positions for 50, 100, 200, and 300-yard (one of the few in the area). Clothespins are normally available to post targets with, but it is a good idea to keep some clothespins in your range bag. When on a range with a solid backstop, use a staple gun or push pins to post your target. Regardless of backstop type, do not post targets over the backstop support structure.

Additional Rifle Range Rules

1. To go downrange, call “Cease Fire” and when all firearms are secured and unloaded call “All Clear” before going beyond the concrete pad. The “Cease Fire” strobe warning light switch must be turned on alerting the entire firing line that it is NOT CLEAR. The last person returning from downrange shall turn the strobe warning light switch of alerting the entire firing line it is NOW CLEAR. Calling “Range going hot, eyes and ears” signifies that firearms may be handled and that shooting may resume.
2. Shooting is only permitted from the cement pad. Shooting from the grass is prohibited

3. Only the following target types and locations may be used:
a. Paper targets attached to the club-provided target hangers (wire on 100 and 200-yard ranges and plywood on the 300-yard range). Do not attach targets to the posts supporting the wire or the plywood.
b. Steel targets appropriate for the caliber being shot and set up directly in front of the berm in such a manner that short rounds will impact the berm. No intermediate targets.
4. Driving on the range is prohibited except for maintenance, placing and retrieving steel targets, and for permitted Handicapped persons to place and retrieve targets.

Pistol “Steel Paradise” Range (#13B)

There is no cost to use this range. The outdoor pistol “steel paradise” range is located on the road heading up to the action bay ranges and hosts a wide variety of steel targets for your enjoyment. The reactive targets can be reset by pulling the rope.

While PMSC has a rule that safety glasses (prescription eye-wear is acceptable) must be worn at all times while on a range, particular care has to be taken on this range since shooting at reactive steel targets has a high probability of splatter. Do not shoot if anyone at this range does not have safety glasses or prescription eye-wear on.

Additional Outdoor Pistol “Steel Paradise” Range Rules

1. To go downrange, call “Cease Fire” and when all firearms are secured and unloaded call “All Clear” before going beyond the concrete pad. Calling “Range going hot, eyes and ears” signifies that firearms may be handled and that shooting may resume.

3. Shooting is not permitted from any location except the cement pad under the pavilion.
4. Shooting at intermediate targets is prohibited except for club-supplied steel plates that are permanently installed.
5. Use only PMSC provided steel targets. Shooting at cans, bottles, or any type of trash is prohibited.
6. Unless otherwise noted, the steel plates are rated for pistol calibers up to .45 ACP. Do not shoot at them with magnum pistol calibers, .17, or 5.7mm as this will damage the plates and presents a significant ricochet risk. Setting up intermediate steel targets is not authorized on our ranges unless Board approval has been given.
7. Members can bring their own AR500 Rated steel targets and place them in the provided (empty) steel bunkers.

.22 Cal. ONLY Range (#13A)

4. Use only .22 rimfire on the steel targets labeled “.22 Rimfire Only”. NO EXCEPTIONS

Combination Building and Lounge (#11)

The lounge and kitchen are open to members and guests from 9AM to 12AM Sunday through Saturday. Your key card will unlock the door to the combination building which opens into the lounge. The lounge is a great place to meet with friends, eat lunch, watch movies, or grab a cup of coffee.

There is a microwave and pizza oven in the kitchen available for member use. Please clean up after yourself. There are two vending machines containing an assortment of sof drinks and bottled water, snacks, and chips.

Proceeds benefit the club. A DVD player and television is located in the lounge. Any member is permitted to watch videos on this equipment.

Once you have taken the class and signed the roster your gate card will be turned on allowing range access. There is a fee to use this range (per member or guest) and it is posted on the counter.

Three special items of note on this range: First, this range is under 24 -hour video surveillance.

The third special note involves the ventilation system. The ventilation system must be on while the range is in

Civilian Marksmanship Program

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is a rich heritage in our country. This type of sport shooting was originally sponsored by the military in order to provide citizens with an opportunity to learn how to handle a battle rifle and to provide a pool of trained marksmen to supplement national defense.

Our club puts on a CMP Shoot on the rifle range (#8) from 9am to 11am the first Sunday of every month from April thru October. These shoots are open to the public. Any military rifle with iron sights can be used. This includes ARs, Garands, AKs, SKSes, 1903s, K98s, and any other military arm. The club has M1 Garands, M1 Carbines, and AR-15s which can be borrowed for a CMP shoot on a first-come first served basis. Ammunition is also available at current market prices and must be used in Club rifles.

Contact the CMP chair for cost information. NRA certified Range Safety Officers are on site.

Rifles, pellets, safety glasses, CO₂ and all targets are provided. Shooters from ages 6-12 are welcome to come and learn how to shoot safely and have fun. A safety class is taught before each shoot and first-timers receive a certificate and official NRA patch. On subsequent shoots, the children test their marksmanship skills and shoot for score to earn NRA qualification rocker patches. Reactive targets such as clay pigeons, pop cans, and plastic bottles are set up and shot for fun. After the smithereens are cleaned up, the youth are backed up to the 20-yard line for the Big Money Balloon Shoot! The children have a great time.

NRA certified Range Safety Officers and Instructors are on site.
