Expanding opportunities for high power sports—traditional service rifles, modern sporters and the coming zombie apocalypse Starting in November 2014, highpower modern sporting rifle and service rifle participants will have two venues to shoot; Traditional Service Rifle (using CMP rules) or the new Zombie Rifle Match (see attached article). The Airfield Shooting Club’s (ASC) primary mission is to “promote safety and shooting education” for members and non-member guests. Since taking the primary role of directing our monthly matches, a number of ASC members have talked to me and raised a number of issues that should be addressed or clarified. This article will highlight three main areas of concern that I have heard from participants in our “Service Rifle.” It is the intent that addressing these three main issues, it will allow ASC members to have greater knowledge, and feel more inclusive to our monthly event. The three main areas of concerns we will address: 1. Is “Service Rifle” just a Civilian Marksmanship Program event?; 2. What if I am not an owner of a CMP sanctioned rifle?, and finally, 3. What opportunities do I have if I am a high-power shooter wanting to shoot in a completive event, but not a …

The first Defensive Pistol Match of the year is this Saturday. We will have four stages and the course of fire is attached as a pdf below. Set-up will begin at 8 am. We hope there will be a good turn-out. In order to decrease wait times, there will be three different squads. Please be there at the designated time; each squad will begin with a match brief. The only stage walk-through will be at 10 am. If you cannot make it, please read the stage descriptions and talk to the other shooters. If the shooter is not “ready” when walking up to the line, the on-deck shooter will shoot instead, so that the first shooter has additional time to review the stage. We need to work expeditiously to minimize wait times, and we need help from all with pasting and resetting. Squad 1: 10:00 am Squad 2: 12:00 pm Squad 3: 2:00 pm Please email me your squad preference and indicate a second choice. Respond to this email or send your preferred squad to [email protected]. Email sign-in will close on Friday, May 30, at 12 noon. Walk-ins are welcome, but may encounter longer wait times.
