We’re Back – The Excuse Free Bowling Pin Match June 3

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 …

Bowling Pins!!!!

No! It’s not time for our first match, but if you’re a pin head and live in the Chesapeake/Virginia Beach area and want to get ready for our season (starting June 3), meet me and Steve at Bowlero Chesapeake Wednesday May 10 at 7:00 PM. We’re picking up another supply of pins, so bring your truck, trailer, or large SUV to haul them to Gordon paper for storage. If you’re not a pin head and want to help out and get service hours, come join us! The more the merrier. The address is 112 Medical Parkway East, Chesapeake, VA. No need to RSVP. Just show up, help out, and have a good time! Art ASC MO and Chief Pin Head 3rd Class

Bowling Pin Smack Down Shoot Results

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
