Gentle Shooters, I regret that I am traveling for work today. There was so much at the match to talk about. Perhaps there will be a Flyer article. I have to get on a plane now, and I made the executive decision that you would rather have scores than narrative. The next match is July 1st.

Gentle Shooters, Like you, I am giddy with anticipation for the first match of the painfully delayed 2023 Pin Shooting season. That pain resolves on June 3rd. There has never been an ASC match like the one we are going to hold. The Excuse Free match will begin at 9:30 AM in pastoral Wakefield Virginia at the newly renovated Airfield Shooting Club’s 50 meter shooting complex. Shooters can expect a completely flat, dry and level range with brand new flat tables, aligned in three dimensions to within mere centimeters of true. The pins for this match have been curated from some of the finest dumpsters in the 757. Your perfectly placed impacts will vigorously remove these pins from these tables with ease. Likewise, you have had two extra months of practice, so your match directors are expecting record scores. All previous excuses are declared null and void for this match. You have one week to think up new ones! Rules have not changed for this year and can be found at https://airfieldshootingclub.org/bowling-pin-rules-and-information/ Specific questions may directed at our assistant adjunct Pinhead 3rd class at [email protected]. I’d be truly remiss if I didn’t say thanks to all of the club members …

Unfortunately, the forecast for this Saturday’s Bowling Pin Match does not look promising. Regrettably, we are cancelling the match since we are expecting rain and high winds. Steven

Gentle Shooters, The elements have conspired to thwart yet another bowling pin extravaganza. We regret to announce that the 2022 bowling pin season has come to a close. We will not shoot in December due to inclement weather expected for Saturday. See you in ’23. Steven  

Gentle Shooters, We end another successful year of bowling pin shooting this Saturday, December 3rd at 9:30 AM at the Airfield Shooting Club Range in scenic Wakefield, VA. We are expecting a beautiful late fall day. If you miss this match, our next one will not be until April 2023. We all know that April showers bring May flowers, so it could be even longer.  If you need directions or rules for the match, find them at www.airfieldshootingclub.org. For specific questions, contact our resident adjunct chief pinhead at [email protected]. Steven

Gentle Shooters, For once, we encountered gentle weather in November and our 16 shooters made the most of it. There were some truly wonderful scores posted including a perfect run by Cort Tompkins. He left no pins standing through all five disciplines, easily besting all comers for five gun. The last match of the 2022 season is Saturday, December 3rd. After that, the guns of our bowling pin alley will be quiet until April. Your results are below. Steven 2022 November Results

Gentle Shooters, If you are a bowler or a pin shooter, you know the humiliation, the horror, and the 15 seconds that a standing bowling pin can exact on a person. This Saturday morning, at 9:30 at the Airfield Shooting Club range in scenic Wakefield, Virginia, you, yes you, can strike back. Bring your wrath, your handguns and carbines, and your skills to Sussex County November 5th. We have directions and rules for the match at www.airfieldshootingclub.org. Specific questions go to the pinhead at [email protected]. Go ahead, ask him anything, but remember he is a pinhead. Steven

Or even a tropical storm. Yes, Gentle Shooters, we sure did think about it, but no, we can’t play in the rain this weekend. See you in November. Steven
