Category: Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters, We had an excellent day of both weather and friendship on our range today. The results featured some pitched battles for pin supremacy. In Carbine, the match was decided by under seven tenths of a second and the fastest string was a stingy one-one hundredth of a second. But this isn’t modern youth sports, so not everyone gets a trophy. Your results are listed below. We will see you at the last match of the season on December 5th.

Gentle Shooters, The dog days of August did not disappoint this time. It was crazy hot and humid. Undaunted, our shooters braved the heat, humidity and potential storms to shoot the match.

Gentle Shooters, We all know there are many things we won’t enjoy this summer. Bowling Pins will not be one of them. Your ASC pinheads joyfully announce the August Bowling Pin Match. We will begin at 9:30 at the beautiful ASC range in Wakefield. Our rules and directions to the match are posted at www.airfieldshootingclub.org and you may direct specific questions to our Chief Assistant Adjunct Pinhead in Residence at [email protected]. See you Saturday. Steven

We normally hold our Dog Days match in August, but this match certainly could have qualified from a temperature perspective. It could have also been easily called the Rust-Oleum and Naval Jelly match since it has been a full half year since any of our competitors have faced the pins. Nevertheless there were some fantastic scores. Courtney Bolze’s rocking new Kriss Vector sporting a new optical sight nearly edged Art Schoner despite a personal best and fastest string of 2.88 seconds. And a note of the passing of the torch to the next generation. Ellie Gordon smoked her dad in Carbine to place third overall in her first recorded pin match, of course using his gun to beat him.  Results are below. Our next match is August 1. See you there.

Yes Virginia, there is a bowling pin shoot. On July 4, 2020 we will gather at 9:30 AM for our inaugural 2020 Pin Match at the lovely ASC range in scenic Wakefield. Please bring a mask and work gloves for set up and take down. We will enforce social distancing on and off the line, but we expect to shoot without masks. We are also expecting lots of laughs. Nobody’s eyesight got a lot better over the winter and most of us have not had time or facility to practice. The pins will mock us and lay sideways on the table like they always do. But the pins don’t talk. Don’t worry, your friends will be there and this is your opportunity to taunt them! The rules and directions have not changed and are available the ASC web site www.airfieldshootingclub.org. Your associate deputy chief pinhead has not changed either, so reach him with specific questions at [email protected] See you at the match, Steven
