Notice of Special Meeting:
A Special meeting will be held concurrent with the January Annual Meeting to consider changes to the Zia R&P By-Laws (details are in the newsletter and here.)
Location and estimated start: Glory Christian Fellowship Church, 2421 Wyoming NE, Thursday, January 18, 2024, 7:00PM.
Guidebook Change
The Board of Directors has issued a change to the Member GuideBook. This change adds clarifying language (p. 6) which explains that “Cased” weapons are treated the same as “Uncased” weapons for the purpose of firearms handling on Zia Ranges. As such, there are to be no weapons handling permitted on Zia except during periods of “Hot” range activity except for formal and informal matches per By-Laws Article VIII, Sect. 2 & 3. Please read this change carefully and make every effort to abide by this long-standing but sometimes misunderstood safety rule.
Women’s Only Class
Zia sponsors a women’s only pistol and personal protection class twice a year. Currently that class is held each April and October. For further information, email LadiesClass@ziarifleandpistolclub.com
