Note from the MO: Guests of Members

ASC Announce

Recently, Tuesday November 12th, on a trip to the range I again noticed a few issues that we as members need to be more cognizant of. When I got to the 50/SRB to do some sighting in I had noticed that some target backers had been left at the back wall and not returned to the sign in shed. If the backers are all shot up an non usable please dispose of them in the trash cans. If the backer are still usable, please strip your spent targets from the backer and return them to the sign in shed. Also there was excessive amounts of brass on the floor area that had not been cleaned up. While talking to a couple members, I was advised of a recent trip of theirs to the range, specifically the SRB/50. A member had brought numerous guest and were occupying several lanes on the range on the 50 and the SRB and was not doing a very good job of watching over their guest. The worst part to me was that when the members questioned and asked to do a better job of watching over the guest, he was given some attitude about the …

General Information and rules reminders

Information from the MO, Maintenance Officer: All members should take a minute or two and re read the rules of the range when you have a spare minute. Lately there have been several issues reported to the board or found by board members. Some are minor and some are more concerning. From arrival to leaving the range please try to leave the range better then you have found it. -Before coming to the range check the calendar on the ASC website, https://airfieldshootingclub.org/calendar/ to ensure that the range is not closed for an event. This could save you a costly trip to and from the range. -There are plenty of chairs and shooting benches at the range currently, please do not bring any chairs or furniture to the range unless you have been given approval from a board member. I know shooting from a lazy boy would be nice, but it just clogs up the shooting area, LOL. -When opening the gate or any lock please ensure that the lock is zeroed out before leaving the lock. -The combinations for any lock shall not be shared with any non member. If you have a guest, open the bathroom locks for them, …

We are looking for volunteers that have chainsaws and/or pole saws and are comfortable in using them or even possibly equipment used in tree removal.

Rimfire Challenge

ASC Event

This month’s Rimfire Challenge will be the Modified Metal Madness; it is a speed shooting competition consisting of shooting five steel targets in the proper order using a 22LR pistol or rifle. Competitors are scored solely by the time it takes to complete each stage. The course of fire is designed to be completed by even the most inexperienced shooter using one 10-round magazine per string without the need to reload “on the clock.” It is recommended to have 2 – 5 magazines; note a maximum of 10 round limits per string.  The match winner is the competitor with the lowest overall time.  We will set up a couple of benchrest stations and KYL “Know Your Limits” spinner targets if you want to try them. The range is set up at 7:00 am, Safety Meeting 8:00-8:30 am, and the safety meeting is mandatory to shoot the match. The match starts immediately after the safety meeting.  Contact Match Director: Tom Sanford, [email protected]

Message from the MO about housekeeping and the AED

Uncategorized

Hello all, Saturday April 27th, I made a visit to the range to place the new climate control box for the AED back at the 50. If the AED is used please advise a board member or myself so that we can reset the AED and the cable for the AED box alarm. If the AED is removed an alarm will activate and can only be silenced by replacing the cable or shutting the door on the cabinet. When I arrived to place the new box I noticed that someone had been shooting at the drink machine end of the 50 and had left a large amount of fired brass from a shooting session on the concrete floor. While we are glad you are enjoying the range please be kind and clean up your fired casings from the range surface. If you notice any unfired rounds or misfires, please place those in the dud can, several unfired rounds were found by numerous members and myself that morning. This keeps it safe for fellow members to walk on the concrete surface. Also please clean up your target backers by removing your used targets from the backer and placing the backer back …
