I’m sure we will more 22LR events to come! See you at the range!!! Check the scores and results at this link: June 2022 Rimfire Benchrest Results Tom Sanford

Otherwise, we are on for the match tomorrow. Steven

Gentle Shooters, We had a nice turnout and great weather for the Bowling Pin Match. Fifteen shooters participated and there were some noteworthy performances. The indomitable Charles Langford cruised to victory in the Five Gun standings after shooting an almost entirely clean match. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Dale Mullin turned in a scorching 3.35 second carbine string with a lever action gun. Way to go Cowboy! The rest of the more plebeian results are below for your viewing pleasure. We will do it again next month on Saturday, May 7th. See you then. Steven April 2022 Results

For information, rules, and directions, please see our web site at www.airfieldshootingclub.org. For specific questions, our associate, adjunct, chief pinhead is always ready with pithy advice of questionable quality at [email protected]. He isn’t all that bright, but the price is right! See you at the range Steven
