GPSL is proud to announce a major change for our club!

   - Effective Tuesday, June 14th, GPSL will now be shooting at the *Range,
   Guns & Safes <http://www.rangegunsandsafes.com/>* (RGS) indoor range.
   - Our regular shooting day will change from Wednesday to Tuesday, with
   the same 6:00pm -- 9:00pm time.

Why are we moving our location?

   - GPSL was offered an opportunity to reconnect with people who supported
   us in the past and wish to support us again.  The club officers believe this
   is a positive move for GPSL that will increase our exposure, recognition and
   membership.

Why are we moving our day?

   - Ideally, Wednesday would remain our day of choice.  RGS already has a
   ladies night on Wednesday, and so is already "taken".  We recognize that
   Tuesday conflicts with the South Atlanta Practical Shooting
Club<http://georgiaipsc.com/index.php/south-atlanta-psc/>(SAPSC).
Looking at historical data from the past year, we find that rarely
   do we have members of SAPSC that shoot with us.  We believe this is because
   of the distance between the clubs, the cost of gas, and time spent in
   traffic.  We were offered Thursday night as an alternative to Tuesday,
   however, with Sharp Shooters USA <http://www.sharpshootersusa.com/> in
   Roswell now shooting a USPSA match on the 1st and 3rd Thursday, we felt the
   overlap would impact one or both clubs.  Since we'd like to see this new
   club succeed, we chose Tuesday.

Where is Range, Guns & Safes <http://www.rangegunsandsafes.com/>?

   - RGS is located at I-85 and Pleasantdale Road
(map<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=4025+Pleasantdale+Rd.+Bldg+%23100,+30340&aq=&sll=34.129856,-83.958798&sspn=1.124243,1.674042&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=4025+Pleasantdale+Rd,+Atlanta,+Georgia+30340&t=h&z=17>),
   less than 1000 feet from the intersection.  This range has easy access from
   Buford, Norcross, Sandy Springs, downtown Atlanta, and Stone Mountain, which
   covers where the majority of our members come from.  RGS also has a location
   in Forest Park, which is the first address you'll notice on their website.
    It's doubtful anyone will drive to Forest Park by mistake, but be aware
   there ARE two locations.

What are the facilities like?

   - RGS has a 40' x 75' pistol bay, and a 16' x 75' rifle bay.  The
   backstop is a rubber wall backstop, similar to what we've been using.  The
   floor is un-polished concrete, so we can expect the traction we're used to.
    The area is well lit, and there is good ventilation.  In a recent visit to
   the range, the bays were at a pleasant temperature even though the outside
   temperature was well into the high 80's.  There are restrooms and a Coke
   machine in the sales area.  For shooters who buy ammunition for the match at
   the range, RGS offers the same high-quality Atlanta Arms that you're used
   to.

What if this doesn't work for me?

   - If by the most unfortunate circumstance the day or location doesn't
   work for you, GPSL will refund the pro-rated remainder of your membership.
    We sincerely hope these changes don't have an impact on anyone where that
   would happen.  We think you'll find the new facilities and location quite to
   your liking, and very much look forward to our regular shooters continuing
   to join us.


We believe these decisions are in the best interest of GPSL's membership and
the club itself.  GPSL has changed ranges several times since the club was
started in 1991, and we've had a good run at our current location.  We're
leaving Bullseye of Lawrenceville on a positive note, and looking forward to
our new home!
