Hello from your new elected MO, Cory Allen. With all the recent upgrades and repairs to the range I was left in pretty good shape. We will be looking to schedule a few work parties in September and/or October. I am currently waiting for information back from Kathy, the 4H center director, about helping with the new 3D archery range work party in early October. As soon as we find out details they will posted. If you need service hours this will be a good way to make them. Now that the lead abatement and rebuilding of the SRB has been completed, we need to tackle a project on the berm separating the 100 from the shotgun range. The majority of the vegetation needs to be stripped so that we do not risk losing the berm in the event of a major storm, i.e. hurricane. The roadways down to the shotgun range will need to be trimmed back also. If any member has access to a tractor with cutting attachments, mini excavator or a skid loader/tractor with a grapple that would be a big plus. If you have access to this type of equipment, please reach out to me at …

ASC is hosting a Combative Handgun Course offered by Dave Jenkins from Rochester Personal Defense, Sept 23 & 24.  This course was developed and taught by Dave Spaulding before he retired.  Dave Jenkins is one of the few instructors that Dave Spaulding certified and recommends to teach his material! This 2 day course is $450 for members and $500 for non-members.  All payments are due no later than 15 August!   To register please contact Scott Sampson at [email protected] This is a great opportunity!!!! Description: This course takes the handgun from a sporting, plinking, or recreational implement, to a tool of combat- to be ready and willing to fight if avoidance and evasion fail. The purpose of this course is to build solid essential skills (grip, trigger control, body position, holster skills, reloads, malfunction clearances, etc.) and put them in the fight! Students will be trained to anchor and improve these essential skills under set time frames established in six (6) standards that will be shot during the course combining speed and combat accuracy. This is not a course for the brand new shooter. You must have a good foundation of skills (grip, stance, sighting, trigger operation) and a desire …

First, please accept my apologies for the delay, but renewal forms went out last night/this morning. Please note that I have since discovered that the program we used to generate the renewal forms may have imported the wrong NRA member #/EXP date. Please verify this information, including any personal information (address, phone #, email, etc.) that may have changed, and annotate the correct information on the form prior to returning it. All other information appears to be correct. With specific regards to the expiration date on the current (2022-2023) membership cards, expiration date will temporarily be extended to 15 APR, the date of the next Board meeting. If an additional extension is approved, another email will go out with that notification. Again, please accept my apologies for the delay and the errors identified above. ASC SEC
