The Action Shoots will be held at A
& S Indoor Pistol Range on the first and third Monday of each
month from
5:00
pm until 8:30 pm.
If you are unfamiliar with an Action Shoot,
you are welcome to come in and see the shoot from our large
observation area. You may want to bring your gun. Once you see what an Action Shoot is,
you may want to
join in on the “action”!
The Action Shoots have different classes for
semi-auto and revolver guns. You
will only compete with other
shooters in the same class of handgun. Examples of classes are Rim fire (.22),
Small Bore (.32 – 9mm) and
Big Bore (.40 - .45). Scoring is calculated on time and
accuracy. It is a fun time for all
and great practice for
your shooting skills.

2008 FAY-WEST FRIENDS OF NRA
15TH ANNUAL BANQUET
Ferrante’s Lakeview
Friday, August 8, 2008
Time for a Change in 2008
Change… to continually
improve and make things better. In
2007, the Fay-West Friends of NRA Committee
changed both the location and the date
of the annual Banquet. Since,
Ferrante’s Lakeview on Route 30 in
Greensburg, PA did an
outstanding job with both the food and accommodations, the Fay-West
Friends of
the NRA Committee agreed this
would be the location for the 2008 Banquet.
In 2008, the change is in the
distribution of local fundraising dollars. The NRA Foundation decided that the
fundraising dollars raised in
Western Pennsylvania are to be allocated and distributed in Western
Pennsylvania. These monies will be used for local
projects to further the shooting sports.
Funded projects
include youth education,
firearm training and safety, range development and conservation.
So, please gather all your family,
friends, neighbors, and co-workers and join other NRA enthusiasts for
fun-filled evening that
supports and encourages the shooting sports.
The Banquet will be held at
Ferrante’s Lakeview on Friday, August 8, 2008 with the doors
opening at
5:30 pm. If you have any questions concerning
the Banquet, feel free to call A & S Indoor
Pistol Range
at (724) 925-1212.
A
& S Indoor Pistol Range and the Fay-West Friends of NRA
Committee would like to thank everyone for
their continued support of the
NRA and the annual Banquet.
