Note from the MO: Guests of Members

ASC Announce

Recently, Tuesday November 12th, on a trip to the range I again noticed a few issues that we as members need to be more cognizant of. When I got to the 50/SRB to do some sighting in I had noticed that some target backers had been left at the back wall and not returned to the sign in shed. If the backers are all shot up an non usable please dispose of them in the trash cans. If the backer are still usable, please strip your spent targets from the backer and return them to the sign in shed. Also there was excessive amounts of brass on the floor area that had not been cleaned up.

While talking to a couple members, I was advised of a recent trip of theirs to the range, specifically the SRB/50. A member had brought numerous guest and were occupying several lanes on the range on the 50 and the SRB and was not doing a very good job of watching over their guest. The worst part to me was that when the members questioned and asked to do a better job of watching over the guest, he was given some attitude about the situation. As members of the club we should be mindful of the rules and be polite to all members when giving and receiving suggestions. I have reposted the rules below from our rule book on bringing guest to the range.

From the rule book, page 9 section E:

E. Guests

1. Except during ASC sponsored functions (i.e. WOT, Sight-In Day, training programs, etc.) anyone who brings a guest shall remain present at the range with that guest (on the same range) at all times until the guest’s departure. Members bringing guests to the range are directly and totally responsible for their conduct and actions while on the range. Members of the immediate family must be accompanied by the related ASC member.

2. Members may not bring more than six guests per visit. Members may not shoot while they have more than 2 guests shooting at one time.

3. All guests (including family members) must be at the same shooting point or an immediately adjacent shooting point.

4. Guests shall be required to sign the Range Release, Waiver, and Indemnification log for each visit to the range. Member sponsors will be responsible to ensure their guest sign the waiver log.

 

Thank you,

New Range Rules!

Uncategorized

ASC has published a new Range Rules document.

A quick overview of the changes:

  • Pg 10, Section I-G4 provided clarity on electrical conduit being ok to be used for supporting steel
  • Pgs 10 and 11, have been revised to account for frangible ammo with steel.  Non-Jacketed frangible ammo is safer because the bullet is made of a compressed material that when it hits steel is breaks into particles like sand.  Please understand that there is Jacketed frangible ammo which has a jacket that will ricochet so it is NOT the same thing.
  • Pg 19, RSO section – added additional guidance on how to run a range.

Please take a look.  As always if you have any questions please feel free to give us a shout!

November Bowling Pin Match Results

Uncategorized

Gentle Shooters,

We are almost back to practice season, and judging by some of the scores, the timing seems appropriate. But yet there is time to ponder a few things. Will Art ever shoot the match clean? Will Cort ever miss again. But one thing is for certain, after Tuesday at least for TV ads it will be truck month again. Finally, the election and all of the noise that goes with it will be over. Until then, consider that our last match of 2024 will be on Pearl Harbor Day, Saturday December 7th. Whilst you wait, contemplate the results below.

Gentle Shooters,

As always, there is big news from the shooting grounds.

Bowling Pin Match … or Early Zombie Practice? Find out October 5th

Uncategorized

Gentle Shooters,

This Saturday, October 5th. at 9:30 at the bucolic Airfield Shooting Club in scenic Wakefield Virginia, we will hold a heroic bowling pin match. With Halloween just around the corner, you can’t be too careful about those zombies. Bowling Pins are just like zombies. You have to hit them square or they will just hurt your brain. (Or at least your ego.) So select your semi autos, corral your carbines, and round up those revolvers and ride down to the range for the match. Brush up on the rules or get directions from our web page and then come on down to the shoot. Specific questions can be directed to our pinhead at [email protected].

Uncategorized
Modified Metal Madness
SRB – 50 yd Range is reserved for the next Rimfire Challenge –

This month’s challenge on Sunday, October 20th, is a speed shooting competition for 22LR pistols and rifles consisting of several modified stages with five steel targets. Competitors are scored solely by the time it takes to complete each stage by shooting five strings in order except the stop plate, which must be shot last. Throw out the worst score; the winner is the lowest overall time.
The course of fire is designed to be completed by even the most inexperienced shooter using one 10-round magazine without reloading “on the clock.” Recommend a minimum of two magazines; suggest five mags. This is a timed event designed to have 90% of the shooters hit 90% of the targets 90% of the time. It is open to all, and even the young and old can easily participate.
$5.00 entry fee for members, $10.00 for guests.
I need help to set up the range at 7:00 am.  Safety Meeting 8:30-9:00 am. The safety meeting is mandatory to shoot the match. The match starts promptly at 9:00 am. Contact Match Director: Tom Sanford, [email protected]
