As many of you know with the passing of Cathy Bowman (Spin Wheel Fashions) last March the PGCA
family lost a long time friend and vendor. Since that time the PGCA has been seeking another
embroiderer. We have been working with Jim Poublon of Clay Target Shootng Shirts and Embroidery. Jim
and his company have been the go to vendor for the ATA for many years supplying shirts, caps, and other
shooting apparel. Jim has crafted the PGCA logo which has been added to his website. Members and
non-members will be able to go their website (
www.claytargetsse.com) where they can choose an
item(s), select the PGCA logo which is logo #7 and place their order. It is my understanding that Jim will
coordinate logo colors to match the garment selection. Any questions that you may have concerning a
specific garment or order can be directed to Jim through his website where you will find his phone
number and email address. He has been responsive.
I might add that Cathy and Spin Wheel were an anomaly. As you know she would load up her van and
attend events taking home any items that did not sell. In speaking to numerous vendors it has become
clear that none of these folks have any interest in this approach. They are willing to sell direct to the
PGCA in bulk but then we would be responsible for transportation, sales, and of course disposal or
storage of any items that did not sell. This is not a practical arrangement for the PGCA. The PGCA has no
financial interest or contractual obligation in this arrangement with Clay Target Shooting Shirts. The BOD
is simply attempting to find a source for these items. We are not locked into this arrangement and are
presently looking at other opportunities in conjunction with the LCSCA that have some unique opportunities which
would afford members yet another source. More information will follow should this or other sources come to fruition.
A sampling of hats and a shirt as embroidered by Clay Target Shooting Shirts is attached for your viewing. The 2
brands of hats shown are Otto and Adams, there are numerous others.
Sincerely:
Your BOD
