We need carpentry work done for the 5 stand shotgun project  See attached sketches for projects.  We need several people or a team to take over each project and complete it in the next two weeks.  Brenda Norton is in charge of the work, and she can meet you at the shotgun fields most any time to go over the work and get you started.  We have all of or most of the lumber and other items.  Just need your help and equipment to do this.  Saws, drills, impacts, or what equipment you think will be best to complete the tasks.  If we need any misc hardware I can pick it up or the team can and we can reimburse you.  I have a huge bucket or two of different sizes of screws. The weather is beautiful and this is a good way to get your service hours early this year.  Please email, text, or call Brenda Norton to get started on the project you want to do. Get a team together to take on a portion of this work. [email protected] or 757-641-5590 5 stand carpentry work needed

It is critical to check the club calendar (Calendar – Airfield Shooting Club) before heading to the range this week.  Timberland Contracting will be on-site to work on the 50 and 100 berms, the shotgun fields, an old trap house, and finally upgrading the range road. Individual ranges may be closed or access to the entire range complex could be blocked. I’ll post additional information on the calendar as I receive it from Timberland.   Art Schoner ASC President

 On Saturday, April 11th, 2026 from 10am-12pm, the Holiday Lake 4-H Teen Leadership Council (TLC) decided on Airfield as the location for their meeting and requested (rented) the 50 & SRB Ranges for their training.  This will be a good way to show Holiday Lake what a great facility we have. We need two awesome people to set up the 50/SRB range and be RSO for this group. If you’re interested, please contact Brenda Norton at [email protected] for more details and to volunteer.
