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

The club has purchased a table of six seats at the fundraising dinner on April 11.  Four seats remain for club members (and spouse/SO).  Limit 2 seats per person.  First come, first served.  Contact the Club president, Art Schoner, at [email protected] to reserve you seat at our table.  If you’d like to purchase your own seat, the QR code on the attached flyer will take you to the website to do so.   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. 

From the Board: “Members, do not submit any payments for 2026 dues until you get an email from the secretary telling you how much you owe. If you submit payments before those emails go out they will just be returned to your card and you will have to pay again when the bill does go out. If for any reason you think you have a bad email on file then contact [email protected] or email [email protected]. If you suddenly find your email and realize you never paid 2025, contact the secretary BEFORE submitting any funds. At best, your amount will be wrong because it did not include the late fee and if you waited too long you may have to go through a different process to renew. Any funds you send prior to conversation with the secretary will be returned to the card you made the payment on and you will have to go through the repayment once you have the correct amount.”   Cory AKA The MO

Our very own Ken Bowra has been nominated for the upcoming NRA Board Elections.  I asked Ken to provide me with something to put out to the AASC membership on his thoughts and vision for the NRA: As discussed, I am a candidate with the NRA 2.0 Reform Group. https://electanewnra.com/ We believe the governing of the NRA should be based on integrity and transparency. We will continue to fight for the 2nd Amendment and bring the NRA back to its mission of creating and supporting shooting programs, competitive shooting, and furthering firearms safety and education. Our goal is to bring the NRA back to the mission and core values that made it the great organization it once was. The reform movement has gotten rid of everyone who was associated with past issues and put in place safeguards like financial transparency to stop it from happening again. Bottom line: The reform movement within the NRA is committed to restoring financial transparency, fiscal accountability and getting the NRA refocused on its core mission of defending the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights. 2026 NRA Board of Directors Election MG Ken Bowra Bio For NRA

In light of the recent increase of rule/safety infractions, the ASC board will be reviewing and revising the Range Rules with the goal of simplifying, clarifying and hopefully condensing the rules.  If you have comments or suggestions, please send them in an email to [email protected].  All input will be reviewed by the Governance Committee and possibly forwarded on to the board for incorporation into the Rules. Although all submissions will be read and reviewed, please do not expect a response.   Art Schoner ASC President
