Due to snow the 1/30 RSO course was postponed to March 6, 2010. There are still seats available for the class. The course will be for club members only; the cost will be $35. This includes books and other materials needed for the class. There will also be a processing fee to NRA of $20 for NRA members and $25 for non-NRA members as well as a certification fee to NRA of $6 for NRA members and $11 for non-NRA members.
Sir Walter has been assigned a NRA Recruiting Number which should be prominently written on all NRA renewals and new member applications. All new memberships and renewals will net the club a recruiting bonus. The bonus varies from one kind of renewal to another, but if all our club members use this number on their annual renewals, we should receive several thousand dollars each year from the NRA. Remember, just write the membership recruiter number XC014145 on your application or renewal form.
The Board of Directors has made a minor change to the Club's Safety Rules and as of Monday, January 28, 2008. The principal change was to paragraph 3.2. Click Here to download a copy of the Sir Walter Gun Club Safety Rules in an Adobe pdf format.

EST: Eastern Standard Time DST: Daylight Savings Time As of August 14, 2003, North Carolina law allows residents of other states who have a Concealed Handgun Permit issued by their state to carry concealed handguns in North Carolina if the person's state also grants the same privilege to North Carolinians. Because North Carolina's law on concealed handgun reciprocity is new, the list of states that have agreements with North Carolina is changing and will be updated regularly. North Carolinians who have a concealed carry permit from our state will be able to possess a concealed handgun while visiting states on the list but will be subject to the laws of that state and are responsible for educating themselves about those laws. Similarly, if you have a concealed carry permit from one of the states on this list, you will be able to possess a concealed handgun while you visit North Carolina. However, while you are in North Carolina you will be subject to all of our state's laws governing the carrying of a concealed handgun. In North Carolina, concealed handguns may not be carried:

The Club is now holding Cowboy Action Matches under the leadership of Club member Randy Pittman (a.k.a. Rev Marrying Sam). Matches will be held on the 2nd Saturday of each month, with the Safety Briefing starting at 9:00 a.m. Cowboy action shooting is one of the fastest growing shooting sports. The Single Action Shooting Society (S.A.S.S.) is the governing organization that establishes the rules and equipment requirements for the match. The match is open to the public and to all interested cowboys and cowgirls. The match fee is $10 for SWGC members and $15 for non-members. If you've ever wanted to be a cowboy/girl or wanted to shoot in an old-west match, now is your chance. If you have questions, give Randy Pittman a call at 693-1644 in Oxford or Fred Stough at 847-8525 or at the e-mail address or see the Match Bulletin for additional details.
The Board of Directors is compiling a list of various projects that members can sign up for if they are unable to attend a regular monthly workday. Completing one of the projects will count the same as having attended a workday and will result in the waiver of the range maintenance fee next year. Most of the projects can be easily done by one or two members in less than a day. If there are any materials involved such as paint, lumber, etc. the Club will pay for those items. For a list of the projects contact Don Davis at 919-676-6913 or e-mail address .
