Rimfire Challenge – Modified Metal Madness

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, June 15th, 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.” I recommend a minimum of two magazines; I suggest five. 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; 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 and take it down after the match.  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, tom.sanford@airfieldshootingclub.org

June Bowling Pin Match Results

Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

As predicted, it never rains on the range. We had a warm, dry day with excellent shooting conditions. If you are a lizard sunning itself. For mammals, it was hot. I’d like to congratulate Taylor Strickland for his clean run today. He left no pins. During each shooters brief, we discuss the possibility of a string that is exactly 15.00 seconds. Like Baseball, the tie goes to the runner. Mr Strickland scored a 15.00 in minor on his way to a clean shoot. A fun thing to see. During the carbine competition, Paul Lynch and Cort Tompkins were tied for fastest string. On the last string, Cort edged Paul out be 13/100 of a second. Good Shooting guys.

Just a reminder that we will be taking July off this year. Our next match is August 2nd. The scores for the match are posted below.

See you in August.

Bowling Pin Match Update Friday Evening

Bowling Pin Matches / Uncategorized

Gentle Shooters,

The weatherman is having trouble making up his mind, but your match directors are not. The hourly forecast seems to indicate that we will get the match in. But we also know that our shooters aren’t terribly interested in driving to the range only to not shoot. So your match directors have decided that we are shooting rain or shine. We will be bringing steel to the range and expect to set it up in the 50 foot berm if we cannot shoot pins. There will be a variety of targets, and timers for practice and entertainment. Assuming the weather is OK, we will shoot our regular match. Set up is 8:30 am and shooters meeting at 9.

See you at the range Saturday, June 7th.

We are looking  for 6 volunteers to work the district shoot on June 21,
2025.
Hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.  Lunch will be provided.

The point of contact is Jim Manning J.manning8715@gmail.com

Duties include escorting 2 shooters at a time to rotate through the
rimfire silhouette matches.

You may be asked to reset the silhouettes for the shooters.

After the silhouettes matches are over, we will clear the 50 yard range
and setup 3 position match.

During the smallbore 3 Position Match, we will need 2 or 3 volunteers to
clear the 100 meter range.
The other 3 volunteers will help with the 3 Position shooters.
When the 3 Position match is finished,  we will clear the 50 yard range
again.

At the end of the matches, we will restore the 50 yard range for general
use.

The June Edition of how the pins fall.

Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

We are scheduled to shoot the match this Saturday, June 7 at the hopefully dry and beautiful ASC range. There is a slight chance of weather, but much like a golf course, it never rains at the range. In the unlikely event that we do expect unfavorable weather, we will post a cancellation here by 8PM Friday. While we are on the subject of cancellation, there will be no July match this year. All of your match directors are unavailable. Because of the highly unusual nature of this cancellation, we will allow practice in July. But remember, we shoot matches because there is no time to practice. Hat tip to Tom Tyrell, one of my old match mentors for that gem!

Hope for Dry and see everyone Saturday.

Steven

Rimfire Challenge, A New Long Gong Challenge

Rimfire Challenge – 100 Yard Gong shooting event is uniquely designed to test and challenge your shooting skills. Join us on Sunday, May 18th, 2025, for a day of fun 22LR shooting.  This event includes individual and two-person teams scoring each other’s hits and misses.

The participants will shoot up to 5 rounds of 10 shots per round. Each round has a time limit of 3 minutes that will begin and end on the match director’s commands.  The event is shot from a bench rest and is limited to bipods or front bags only.  No front rest, sleds, or rear bags allowed.

Please transport all firearms to and from vehicles in a case.   When the range is called “COLD,” actions will be open with empty chamber flags inserted.  No gun or magazine handling AT ALL when the range is COLD. That includes scope adjustment or any other form of handling. There will be enough time during a HOT range to make any required adjustments.  Eye and ear protection is required.

This event is open to members of the public.  Airfield Shooting Club requires that all non-member participants fill out the Guest Waiver form.  The cost is $5 for ASC Members and $10 for Non-Members.

Three gongs: a 3”, a 2”, and a 1” gong target will be placed at the 100-yard berm. The score is totaled for each shooter, with a possible high score of 27 points (1+2+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3=27). A complete game has five complete sets for 50 rounds of ammunition (1 whole box). The highest possible score for a competition is 135 points. In case of a tie score, the winner is determined by the shooter with the highest single-round score.

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 at 9:00 a.m. and lasts until noon.

All participants must attend the Safety Meeting to shoot!  *** The 100 Meter Range is Closed for this Event. *** For more information about this event, contact the Match Director, Tom Sanford, at rimfire@airfieldshootingclub.org.
