ASC Family, Just a couple days away and I am so excited to be your presenter for the Safe and Secure Online cyber-security presentation next week. The presentation is completely free.  I am a proud member of the Airfield Shooting Club and an NRA Instructor.  In my day job, I am an IT Instructor for the US Navy.  I have worked in the IT and Cyber-Security field for over 40 years.  I hold the CISSP certification through ISC2 and that enables me to deliver this training.  Again, there is no charge, nothing to buy or anything like that.  Purely public service.  Ok, in the spirit of full disclosure I do get 1 hour of continuing education for being your host.  I am also available to provide this presentation online or in person for other groups so if you need a guest speaker just let me know. The presentation is geared towards adults, but there are other versions geared towards kids and college student age audiences.  The presentation takes about an hour and I will then take some questions.  If you have any questions in advance, please email me at [email protected] or you can reach me through Scott Sampson.

Thanks to the 25 members for showing up and knocking it out of the park today. Hope I get it all that we completed. -Pin tables were made for the upcoming illustrious pin match season, may all your fired rounds not hit the tables! LOL -Frames for all the ranges were built and extras for a few, speaking of frames, Jim Manning said, hey lets expand the 100 (well I am guessing), so he and a small crew measured the range and laid out new holes, dug new holes and now the club has 5 frames on the 100 for your shooting pleasure, please try not to hit the frames, LOL. -Brenda, Wes and a small army worked on the shotgun range and tore down part of a wall that was falling down, put together traps on carts and we even placed the trap all the way at the top of the tower. Awesome job to all that helped! Don’t worry Steve we know you were working hard. Also, thank you to Matt, my son, for using his skid steer to bring all the traps from the conex to the 5 stand. – We then had a small crew, Wes, …

Rimfire Challenge – IBS Modified Benchrest 50-Yard Precision Skill Challenge Experience the fun of a friendly IBS-modified bench-rest shooting event uniquely designed to test and challenge your shooting skills. Join us on Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, for a day of fun 22LR shooting.  We are shooting on March 22nd due to a scheduling conflict. The shooters will follow a modified version of the IBS Benchrest Shooting Competition, shooting two to four official IBS 25 bull targets, depending on participation.  Each shooter has 20 minutes to complete each target, whether it’s a factory or unlimited target classification. The cost is $5 for ASC Members and $10 for Non-Members.  Please bring exact cash. If the range that you are going to is COLD, you may only bring a gun to the line if it is cased.  A case is anything that prevents you from accessing the gun.  It must be in a range bag, a holster, a gun sock, a hard/soft-sided case, etc.  If the range is HOT, you may bring the gun to the line without a case, BUT it must be unloaded with the muzzle pointed straight up, action open, and facing out (so anyone can see). All participants must attend the Safety Meeting to …
