Frank Conway: 1919 - 2011

 

 

PGC and shooters across the country mourn the passing of PGC founder member Frank Conway.  Frank's health had been declining swiftly and he passed Monday, April 25.  Frank was the last of the members (to the best of my knowledge) who started Picacho Gun Club in the mid-1960's.  Rarely missing a meeting and always active in every project the club had, Frank also held every office in the Club ..... and more than once!10  As Chief Instructor, he always had a firearms related topic and it was often a talk from his incredible store of knowledge about all things firearms and shooting.  As a gunsmith, most of us felt that Frank was the only man to go to ..... he was unique in that if he didn't have a tool to do the job, he made one!   Frank was truely one of a kind and he will be sorely missed.   Our thoughts and prayers go out to Christine, Franz and Thomas and their families.

 

 

 

 

Butterfield Shooting Range Update:

*Butterfield Range now has 4 new bays at the action pistol thanks to Mark Johnston, Park’s Administrator, Ralph Martinez, Butterfield Range Supervisor, Bill Davis, Caliper Construction,  Bill Martin and Craig Tharp.  It took Bill’s worker only 3 days with a D-6 to clean and push the dirt.  Ralph sent out his best equipment workers to work the week before and they had the bays all lined up.  They kept working after the D-6 was finished and build up all the bays.  More information and pictures will be available at the meeting.  A “Special Thank You” goes out to Jim Radel for staking out the bays.
