Dog Days Pin Shoot Results
Gentle Shooters,
The day dawned warm but soon became downright hot as to be expected in the dog days of summer. Our intrepid shooters battled both the heat and the pins in an epic duels. Guns failed and shooters swooned, but the cream eventually rose to the top (and then curdled in the heat) as our results listed below show. Our next match is Saturday September 5th. In our ongoing attempts to modernize the matches and try out new things, we will be testing a new category toward the end of that match. By popular demand, we are going to trial a ,22lr carbine match in September. We are thinking eight pintops set across the front of the table. If successful, you could expect to see some changes in 2027 season. If you would like to help us test that out, bring a .22 carbine to the next match and expect to stay until the end.

Gentle Shooters,
The dog days of August are upon us. Legend has it that the intrepid shoot the August match every year. This is your year to answer the call. Temps will be under 90 and with a mid-summer break for the Fourth of July, I’ll bet a couple of your broke protocol and got some practice in. Regardless, we need you at the pastoral Airfield Shooting Club in scenic Wakefield. This Saturday, August 1st we will begin at 9AM under the regular rules available at our web page at www.airfieldshootingclub.org. If you are fuzzy on specific questions and long for actual human interaction, reach our pinhead as [email protected] for factual but sarcastic answers to your most vexing bowling pin questions.
