We hope you had a fantastic 4th!  Please enjoy the latest Newsletter from our Newsletter editor Thomas Sanford.  It can be found here: https://airfieldshootingclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ASC-Q2-Newsletter-2024.pdf

Folks, During the week while summer 4-H camp is going on, please leave the tables and target frames in the same location as you found them.  If you move the for your shooting session they must go back to the location you found them before you leave.  The reason is the 4-H instructors are wasting time re-setting the range each morning. It is OK that you use the range during the week after the Campers, but if this continues, we will have to close the range down for the entire week.  Please work with us to maintain the range in the condition you found it. Thank you for your cooperation!!!

Hello all, Saturday April 27th, I made a visit to the range to place the new climate control box for the AED back at the 50. If the AED is used please advise a board member or myself so that we can reset the AED and the cable for the AED box alarm. If the AED is removed an alarm will activate and can only be silenced by replacing the cable or shutting the door on the cabinet. When I arrived to place the new box I noticed that someone had been shooting at the drink machine end of the 50 and had left a large amount of fired brass from a shooting session on the concrete floor. While we are glad you are enjoying the range please be kind and clean up your fired casings from the range surface. If you notice any unfired rounds or misfires, please place those in the dud can, several unfired rounds were found by numerous members and myself that morning. This keeps it safe for fellow members to walk on the concrete surface. Also please clean up your target backers by removing your used targets from the backer and placing the backer back …
