Dear Prospective Member:

Thank you for requesting information about Pickaway County Sportsmen, Inc. (PCSI).  As our name indicates, we are a 35 acre club located in Pickaway County, east of Circleville on US Route 22.  We are located about 45 minutes from downtown Columbus and 5 minutes from Circleville.   We are 1.7 miles east of the Circleville Bible College on the north side of US Route 22.

We have an active club with many activities throughout the year.  PCSI recognizes that youth are an important part of keeping our sporting heritage alive, thus we have a variety of youth oriented programs and activities in addition to our regular programs.

PCSI has several ranges.  We have a 100 yard rifle range with covered shooting positions, a “bunkered” range (with berms at 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards), a 25 yard falling plate pistol range, a 25 yard moving target range, and two additional 25 yard pistol ranges (one with some 50 yard positions).  We also have a clubhouse, shelter house, picnic areas, a fishing/boating pond, a primitive camping area, and an archery practice area.

PCSI has several divisions that hold matches for fun and competition.  These include: IPSC, American Steel Plate, IHMSA Silhouette, Small Bore Rifle, CMP high power rifle matches.   We also have a Junior .22 rifle program, NRA Youth Sportsfest, and hold an open house for National Hunting and Fishing day.  Although PCSI has a lot of activities on the weekend,  there will most always be a range available for informal shooting by the general membership.

PCSI holds its general membership meetings at 7:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month, except December.  It is typical that a range safety briefing can be attended at these meetings.  You must attend a briefing, before your range privileges are granted.  If you cannot attend a general meeting, special arrangements can be made for the safety briefing.

Current membership dues are fifty dollars ($50) for the first year (new members only) and one hundred thirty dollars ($130) for subsequent years.  Our dues are for a calendar year, there is a prorated schedule for members joining late in the year.  You may reduce your yearly dues, by becoming an active member.  An active member is one who has earned 100 “work points” in a year.  There are plenty of opportunities to earn work points throughout the year.  Points are given for attending the general meetings, attending work sessions, helping at special events, and other methods for earning points are available.  The “work” in work points is not always physical, we have many activities that anyone can assist with.

When you have paid the membership dues and taken the safety briefing, you will be issued a badge and membership card.  The badge should be worn while on club grounds, to identify yourself as a club member.  The membership card is used for proof of membership in good standing and has the combination for the gates.

                                    Thank you again for your interest,

                                    Pickaway County Sportsmen, Inc. Board of Directors
