Our skeet field cannot be used until further notice. We are having issues with the machines. Until this is trouble shot and repaired we are asking members to avoid using the skeet field to prevent potential further damage. We are hoping to have the machines up and running soon but we are unsure of when.
Thank you!

Now for some important club business that needs to be addressed:
Kirk Culpepper, has served as the ASC treasurer for the past five years. He has stated his desire to retire from this position at the end of the board year in July. He strongly recommends having a multi-month turn over with his replacement as there are many passwords, financial accounts, and processes to be learned and turned over. Kirk would like to have 6 months to work with his replacement and feels that this is in the best interest of all parties. He had his duties dumped on him and he has no desire to repeat that with his replacement. If you’d like to support the club and time and interest, please contact me at [email protected] or Kirk directly at [email protected]. The club treasurer is an essential member of the Board, so this position MUST be filled. The earlier we find a replacement, the easier the transition will be. Kirk has summarized his duties below:
If you think you’d be a good fit, please give it serious consideration. If you know another member that would be a good fit, please talk it over with them.
Thanks, and stay safe and have fun!

The Tidewater Friends of NRA Banquet is Feb 1st at the Greenbrier Country Club. We could use a couple outgoing volunteers to help run the banquet. In particular we could use some folks to help with running games (this involves taking money basically) or being a table host (showing guests where there reserved tables are, giving them a run down of the events and activities and running their bills to them at the end of the night. Then a little help cleaning up at the end of the night. You will be on your feet all or at least most of the night.
This does count for service hours for ASC. The required time would be from 4pm to 10pm.
If interested please contact Scott Sampson at [email protected]
Thank you!
The Tidewater Friends of NRA annual Banquet is Feb 1st at the Greenbrier Country Club in Chesapeake, VA. This fun event raises money for grants to non-profits. The money goes to non-profit organizations supporting the shooting sports like 4-H, Scouts, Veterans programs, and Women’s Programs. We also have provided money to the police departments and college shooting teams. Airfield Conference Center has benefited from several grants which have supported our club. Would love to see some support from ASC members.
You can buy individual tickets or you can purchase a Table of 8 (at different price points) which allows you to get a gun. You can find out more about the event and purchase tickets at:
