Gentle Shooters, As always, there is big news from the shooting grounds. In this month’s installment of results, our own Taylor Strickland comes within a scant .04 seconds of unseating our all time carbine champ Cory. Oh, and Cort came in third on something.

Gentle Shooters, Your are cordially invited to attend the latest installment of how the pins fall at this Saturday’s ASC Bowling Pin Match. The match is Saturday, September 7th at 9:30 at the county class facility in stunning Wakefield, VA. Consider the fact that the club allows us one Saturday a month to take over the 50 yard range and shoot these delightedly absurd, fun reactive targets. Why you ask. Perhaps because we still can? I don’t know, but it is a lot of fun! If you have never done it, you owe yourself the experience at least once. If you haven’t done it in a while, ammo is available and somewhat reasonable, so why wouldn’t now be a good time time to drop by. Our match rules and directions are available at our fantastic web site www.airfieldshootingclub.org and specific comments and questions can be directed to our senior adjunct associate inspector general pinhead at [email protected]. See you at the match Steven

Gentle Shooters, The Dog Days match lived up to its reputation this year. The shooting was fun and there were the exceptional moments. Kenny Hardee took out a pin in mid fall before it could knock two others flat and ruin his string. Taylor Strickland dominated with an entirely clean shoot on his way to a sweep of the five gun.  Our next match is September 7th. See you then. Results are below.

Gentle Shooters, I am pleased to post the results of the June 2024 ASC Bowling Pin Match. We set a new record on the range today. Longtime match director Steven Gordon posted a combined aggregate five gun score of 536.01 seconds. That is nearly nine minutes of agonizing struggling on the firing line. When interviewed after the match Gordon was sanguine regarding the achievement. “There is actually a possible 1,300 seconds in a five string aggregate score. With a little more focus on poor trigger control and sight alignment I think we can push the number higher and we are really just beginning to explore jerking the follow through” he stated. For those of you who are less creative about missing the pins, your scores are reported below. Our next match is July 5th.
