Work Party Trap House Roof Replacement

Trap House Roof Replacement

On Saturday 10/17/26 @ 9:30 am, rain day is 10/18/26. We need a few extra hands to help replace the Trap House roof and repair the fence partition between the trap and skeet fields along with some other housekeeping items.

We will be setting one fence post and replacing 10′ of fencing. We have a power auger and I will bring a wheelbarrow for the concrete.

We should have all of the tools we need but if you have a cordless driver, hard rake and shovel it might be helpful for cleanup.

This is the first of several up coming service hour opportunities that will be announced soon.

You can reach me or Vance at [email protected]

October Bowling Pin Match Results

Steven Gordon October 6, 2026, 6:22 am October 6, 2026 Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

Hopefully you can’t get fired from a volunteer position. Your humble scribe badly represented the shooting that we planed for last weekend. As you know, we have been trying out different contests such as .22 long rifle and minor carbine. Some shooters took that to mean that we would not be shooting all of the five standard contests that we traditionally run. For next month, please plan on shooting all of the traditional contests along with another trial run of something new and fun. That match will occur on November 7th. My thanks to Cort for running the match and for the drop in ready results you see below.

October Bowling Pin Match

Steven Gordon October 1, 2026, 1:16 pm October 1, 2026 Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

It looks like we will miss the rain this Saturday October 3rd and get in another edition of “as the pins fall… or not” at 8:48 AM when we assemble at the magnificent ASC range is luscious Wakefield VA. As dedicated pin shooters know, we have been trying out some different games along the standard menu. Things that go well may be incorporated into future matches. I count upon my friends, fellow shooters and the occasional scoundrel among us to constantly remind me of those that like me… fail! In addition to our normal offerings, this month we will be trying one of shootings newest darlings, the pistol caliber carbine. Specifically, we are tailoring this match for 9MM carbines rather than the higher calibers that we usually shoot. This should be a cool match. Cort and Taylor will host while the old shaky guys that can’t shoot are off … well probably doing things that don’t require skill.

The long delayed Labor Day Pin Shoot Results

Steven Gordon September 10, 2026, 9:02 pm September 10, 2026 Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

Your humble scribe demurs and apologizes in advance for my extraordinary tardiness in posting my best approximation of your match results. I say best approximation because … penmanship. Use a fine point pen and practice those numbers. Some of you simply cannot cypher. No matter how much your chicken scratch befuddled me, it was clear that Cort Tompkins won everything. A tip of the hat to Taylor as he shot the match clean. For the rest of you, I’d admonish that you practice, but I know you won’t be ready for the next match on Saturday, October 3rd.
