Zombie Pin Shoot Results

Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

As always, there is big news from the shooting grounds. In this month’s installment of results, our own Taylor Strickland comes within a scant .04 seconds of unseating our all time carbine champ Cory. Oh, and Cort came in third on something. And the weather was nice. Next match is November 2nd. Your results are below

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].

Rimfire Modified Metal Madness – Oct 20th

Uncategorized
Modified Metal Madness
SRB – 50 yd Range is reserved for the next Rimfire Challenge –
Modified Rimfire Steel Challenge for 22LR Pistols and/or Rifles only. 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]

September Bowling Pin Match Results

Uncategorized

Gentle Shooters,

While we missed several stalwart pin shooters this month Like Cory and Art, who were working a service project for the club, the shooters who made the match were greeted with comfortable temperatures and friendly if overcast skies. As is often the case, best friends battled for supremacy in the carbine class. In what was supposed to be the battle of the Buckhammers, Taylor Strickland and Paul Lynch were set to duke it out on the gray sands of Airfield. But Taylor’s gun jammed in some prematch testing and he dropped back to a 45 ACP carbine. The 45 still reigned supreme, as the results show. While you are only going to see pins do a 360 and nearly land on their bases erect by attending a match, the next best thing are our results, which are listed below.

Help Needed Hauling Bowling Pins

Uncategorized

Gentle Shooters,

If you are a shotgunner, you know it is dove season. If you are a bowler, it is time for new leagues for the fall. When those start, tehy replace the existing pins with new ones. That makes it bowling pin season. They are available now and we will lose them if we don’t act. We need to haul 80 cases each from two bowling alleys. We would like to do it next Tuesday, September 10th at 7PM. I need volunteers with trucks or SUV’s to haul pins from Lynnhaven in Virginia Beach and Indian River in Chesapeake to our warehouse near Northampton Blvd and Diamond Springs Rd in Virginia Beach. We will award service hours for your effort. If you can assist, please contact me at [email protected].

Thanks,

Steven

September Bowling Pin Match

Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

Your are cordially invited to attend the latest installment of how the pins fall at this Saturday’s ASC Bowling Pin Match. The match is Saturday, September 7th at 9:30 at the county class facility in stunning Wakefield, VA. Consider the fact that the club allows us one Saturday a month to take over the 50 yard range and shoot these delightedly absurd, fun reactive targets. Why you ask. Perhaps because we still can? I don’t know, but it is a lot of fun! If you have never done it, you owe yourself the experience at least once. If you haven’t done it in a while, ammo is available and somewhat reasonable, so why wouldn’t now be a good time time to drop by. Our match rules and directions are available at our fantastic web site www.airfieldshootingclub.org and specific comments and questions can be directed to our senior adjunct associate inspector general pinhead at [email protected]. See you at the match

General Information and rules reminders

ASC Announce

Information from the MO, Maintenance Officer:

All members should take a minute or two and re read the rules of the range when you have a spare minute. Lately there have been several issues reported to the board or found by board members. Some are minor and some are more concerning. From arrival to leaving the range please try to leave the range better then you have found it.

-Before coming to the range check the calendar on the ASC website, https://airfieldshootingclub.org/calendar/ to ensure that the range is not closed for an event. This could save you a costly trip to and from the range.

-There are plenty of chairs and shooting benches at the range currently, please do not bring any chairs or furniture to the range unless you have been given approval from a board member. I know shooting from a lazy boy would be nice, but it just clogs up the shooting area, LOL.

-When opening the gate or any lock please ensure that the lock is zeroed out before leaving the lock.

-The combinations for any lock shall not be shared with any non member. If you have a guest, open the bathroom locks for them, and if you leave the bathroom unlocked, make sure before you depart the range you ensure that the bathroom locks are locked back. Please always keep the doors to the restrooms closed when you exit as the restroom are air conditioned and heated. This is a huge plus, because many outdoor ranges rarely have any restrooms or if they do it is a porta potty.

-Sign in to and out of  the book at the range that you are using, this includes any guest you may bring. If you bring a guest, they 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.

-If you bring more then 2 guest, members may not shoot while they have more than 2 guests shooting at one time. After the guest have completed shooting, have them stand back while you shoot.

-Before you use the range, hang the range in use flag and put the flag away, if no one else is at the range, when you exit the range.

-After you have completed the use of the range, police up your brass, remove your target backers from the frames, strip your targets from the backers and dispose of in the trashcans provided and finally place your backers back in the sign in shed. This makes the range better for the next user. If the cans are full, take to time to empty the bags and replace them and take the trash to the dumpster. If you do this, send me an email or text to me with a picture of the disposal and you will be credited service hours for this(my number is located on the range sign in shed door or in the shotgun low house).

-When shooting at the 50, THE BIG RED ARROW AT THE 50 IS NOT A TARGET, DO NOT SHOOT IT. If the shot is a mistake, please check your aim and try not to shoot it again. There are cameras at the range that are used specifically to identify anyone that may have shot the arrow. From the rules: Shooting the Range Arrow or its pole is grounds for immediate dismissal from the Club without refund.

-When you leave the range for the day, and you are the last member at the range. Please secure the gate correctly. We will be placing a new sign at the gate to show the correct way. We originally had used the lock to lock method, but there have been a few times when this has not happened and the center was locked out of the range. We rent the range from them and they have access as needed. The range provides the cleaning crew for the bathrooms and there is now a bee hive located behind and to the left of the SRB that the center visits frequently. The correct method, as of February 2024, is the chain locked around the gate to itself and one end locked to itself thru the eyelet. Please see below.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out to a board member. The numbers for some of the board members are located at the sign in sheds if anyone has questions or concerns. Remember this is our range, please take care of it for the next member.

Cory, aka The MO.

*Work Party Saturday Sept 7th, update*

Work Party

I had posted the wrong date so I have updated it.

The center has asked for our help in clearing some downed trees and also to cut down trees that may be an issue. September 7th they are having 100 volunteers show up to move and stack wood. We are looking for volunteers that have chainsaws and/or pole saws and are comfortable in using them or even possibly equipment used in tree removal. We do not want members to over extend themselves or put themselves in positions to hurt themselves or others. There are many trees leaning or limbs that need to be removed. If you are willing and able to help please let me or Art know via email. Again, we want to be safe and secure with this work party. We will be cutting the wood into fire place length pieces and leaving it for the center to rearrange.

We will be meeting that the range at 8am
