Work Party Success

Uncategorized

Thanks to the 25 members for showing up and knocking it out of the park today. Hope I get it all that we completed.
-Pin tables were made for the upcoming illustrious pin match season, may all your fired rounds not hit the tables! LOL
-Frames for all the ranges were built and extras for a few, speaking of frames, Jim Manning said, hey lets expand the 100 (well I am guessing), so he and a small crew measured the range and laid out new holes, dug new holes and now the club has 5 frames on the 100 for your shooting pleasure, please try not to hit the frames, LOL.

-Brenda, Wes and a small army worked on the shotgun range and tore down part of a wall that was falling down, put together traps on carts and we even placed the trap all the way at the top of the tower. Awesome job to all that helped! Don’t worry Steve we know you were working hard. Also, thank you to Matt, my son, for using his skid steer to bring all the traps from the conex to the 5 stand.

– We then had a small crew, Wes, Tom, Brian, again Matt and others that helped spin the sign in shed 90 degrees. This will allow the last shooting station on the 100 to be used as a true shooting station. It was a small task, but without that skid steer it would not have happened. So for all the member that come to the range, it will look a little different.

Although a small item on the list, a magnet was placed at the sign in shed, yes I know finally, on the shelf that the sign in book sits. This will allow members to check their ammo for steel cores or bi metallic rounds, only if you are shooting steel.

Finally, I was able to get the AED holder powered back up so that our AED will have heat in the winter and a cooling fan in the summer. Also a general purpose receptacle was added just under the AED, for whatever is needed. This was requested by a board member to allow his matches to get live updates after the matches our completed, this is a much needed addition and one further down the range is planned in the future. Please understand on the SRB/50 that their is limited power because this single circuit is shared with the 4H centers drink machine. An additional circuit is also planned in the future.

..

I want to thank Art, aka El Effe, for helping with directing some of the work party and the frame and pin table building expertise. Vance and Jenny Owens for stepping up and assisting me today, while I was running around like a chicken with my head half cut off. Brenda and Wes for spear heading the work on the shotgun range and also with the rotating of the sign in shed. Tom for taking on the smallest but largest task of cleaning and placing items back in the sign in shed after we spun that thing like a playground toy. My son and club member Matt for bring the his skid steer down for abuse from all, moving traps, spinning the sign in shed, cleaning up and back dragging the road to the dumpster and moving all the wood from the trailer to the range and moving the completed, lead free, pin tables. Taylor for building his new, much lighter, stands for the defensive shooting matches, and for hauling off all the shot up frames. Kenny and the crew of unknown names (stinks getting old) for working on the ballistic wall bracing, yes I will get some all thread and also some new drill bits. Jim Manning for spear heading the 100 upgrade and donating his powered post hole digger to the club for future use, at one point Jim had over 6 miles worth of steps in before noon, sure he finished up with almost 10. Finally thank you to all the members that gave up their personal time to make the club better for all. If I forgot to mention your name, please understand I know who you are by face but I seem to not be able to remember names like I used to.

 

Thank you again,

Cory, aka The MO

 

Rimfire Challenge – 50-Yard Precision

Rimfire Challenge – IBS Modified Benchrest 50-Yard Precision Skill Challenge

Experience the fun of a friendly IBS-modified bench-rest shooting event uniquely designed to test and challenge your shooting skills. Join us on Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, for a day of fun 22LR shooting.  We are shooting on March 22nd due to a scheduling conflict.

The shooters will follow a modified version of the IBS Benchrest Shooting Competition, shooting two to four official IBS 25 bull targets, depending on participation.  Each shooter has 20 minutes to complete each target, whether it’s a factory or unlimited target classification. The cost is $5 for ASC Members and $10 for Non-Members.  Please bring exact cash.

If the range that you are going to is COLD, you may only bring a gun to the line if it is cased.  A case is anything that prevents you from accessing the gun.  It must be in a range bag, a holster, a gun sock, a hard/soft-sided case, etc.  If the range is HOT, you may bring the gun to the line without a case, BUT it must be unloaded with the muzzle pointed straight up, action open, and facing out (so anyone can see).

All participants must attend the Safety Meeting to shoot!  The range set-up/sighting-in period lasts until 8:30 AM, and then the range goes cold for the 8:30 AM Mandatory Safety Meeting/Instructions. The match starts promptly at 9:00 a.m. and lasts until noon.

*** The 25 – 50 Meter Range is Closed for this Event. *** For more information about this event, contact the Match Director, Tom Sanford, at [email protected].

Renewal season is upcoming but not here yet

ASC Announce

From the Board:

“Members, do not submit any payments for 2026 dues until you get an email from the secretary telling you how much you owe. If you submit payments before those emails go out they will just be returned to your card and you will have to pay again when the bill does go out. If for any reason you think you have a bad email on file then contact secretary@airfieldshootingclub.org or email [email protected].

If you suddenly find your email and realize you never paid 2025, contact the secretary BEFORE submitting any funds. At best, your amount will be wrong because it did not include the late fee and if you waited too long you may have to go through a different process to renew. Any funds you send prior to conversation with the secretary will be returned to the card you made the payment on and you will have to go through the repayment once you have the correct amount.”

February 28th defensive shooting match is officially canceled

ASC Event / Defensive Shooting

Unfortunately the weather is not being very cooperative and the conditions on the Range will not allow for the defensive shooting match to operate safely and unfortunately for the second time this month I’m having to cancel the match rest assured I will be looking into a fallback option for future matches something that can be set up on the short range berm to allow some type of match to happen in the future current idea going through some preliminary evaluation is using steel silhouettes to do simple drills and qualifiers and some very basic stages these fall back scenarios would be limited to pistols only if we use Steel targets

REMINDER March 7th Work Party/ Rain Date March 8th

ASC Announce / ASC Event / Bowling Pin Matches / Defensive Shooting / Work Party

Calling all pin heads, range shooters and anyone that needs to make their service hours before renewals.

Saturday March 7th, weather permitting 9am until we are done 3 pm-ish, we will be having a large work party. We will be building pin tables, frames for the all the ranges and also working on the ballistic wall repair project(if we have enough personal). We need some members to make up new target backers and also doing general range cleanup. Tools needed would be general carpentry tools for building the frames and tables also some power tools would be nice to have. For frames and tables: portable table saw, chop saw ,screw guns and extension cords. For the ballistic wall also general carpentry tools:  impact drivers with deep sockets(I believe 3/4″) extension cords, hammers or mallets and a generator if it is easily transportable. We will be boring 1/2″ holes thru the wall and sistering 2x6s to each side and using carriage bolts to secure them. We have a couple 1/2 drills and 1/2 boring bits but feel free to bring some if you have them. We will also be doing general cleanup so blowers for the leaves and debris on the range, some rakes and maybe shovels and maybe a power washer to wash the concrete by the bathrooms(time permitting). I am sure Brenda will have a list of work to do at the shotgun range and for the new 5 stand. If we have the personal and equipment we will try to spin the sign in shed 90 degrees.

For lighter work we also have to prep the some target backers, heavy scissors for cutting duct tape and the punching holes in the backer and installing grommets. Hopefully some of our seasoned target backer makers will show up for leadership on this.

Please feel free to contact me if you have ant special equipment that we may be able to use.

If it rains Saturday we will try for Sunday March 8th but we will have a limited work party for pin tables and frames as the range will be in use by the swamp shooters starting at 2pm.
