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.

2026 NRA Director Nominee

ASC Announce

Our very own Ken Bowra has been nominated for the upcoming NRA Board Elections.  I asked Ken to provide me with something to put out to the AASC membership on his thoughts and vision for the NRA:

As discussed, I am a candidate with the NRA 2.0 Reform Group.

https://electanewnra.com/

We believe the governing of the NRA should be based on integrity and transparency. We will continue to fight for the 2nd Amendment and bring the NRA back to its mission of creating and supporting shooting programs, competitive shooting, and furthering firearms safety and education.

Our goal is to bring the NRA back to the mission and core values that made it the great organization it once was.

The reform movement has gotten rid of everyone who was associated with past issues and put in place safeguards like financial transparency to stop it from happening again.

Bottom line: The reform movement within the NRA is committed to restoring financial transparency, fiscal accountability and getting the NRA refocused on its core mission of defending the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
