The Kinetic Combative Pistol course is one that will get you thinking about more options and will make you a better shooter AND a better CCW-er. There is some physical exertion in this course. We have a lot of great info to share and bring to you. We will have a TON of fun! (oh – I bet you’ll learn something too!)
June 1 & 2 – Critical Carry Skills
Donation of $450.00
This 2 day course will build your Critical Carry Skills for shooting along with your mindset and ability to win a gunfight. These are not ‘range shooting skills’. These are CRITICAL shooting skills that will save your life, taught by Rochester Personal Defense.
Think about this: Once you have been forced to defend yourself, you MUST win. There is no other option. The skills that you will learn and refine in this course are designed to help you do just that. Coupled with the required mindset, you will greatly increase your odds.
This course will also make your reaction time, presentation, reload, and your overall Critical Carry shooting skills faster and more efficient. Our goal is to help you make the transition from thinking about each skill to a near intuitive and efficient and skilled shooter.
If you wish to draw faster, reload faster, become a more accurate shooter, and be able to process information and feedback from your handgun better, this is the course for you!
Critical Carry Skills – for that Critical moment in your life.
For questions email [email protected].
We are working on setting dates for more…so stay tuned! Until then keep training! If you have

December Bowling Pin Match results
Gentle Shooters,
We draw to the close of another year of Bowling Pin shooting. Thanks to all of our competitors who come out month after month, set up, tear down, and support and even heckle our shooting community. I have to say that I am not worthy of this group that I find myself a part of. It is pleasure to know and get to shoot with each and every one of you. I learn something every time I set foot on the range with all of you. I hope to see all of you around the range this winter and certainly on Saturday, April 6 at 9:30 in the morning at the stunning ASC range for the next installment of how the pins fall. You final scores are posted below, but stay tuned for the 2023 and all time recap coming to a club newsletter near you.

Instructor Opportunity
The Airfield Conference Center is looking for one or two volunteers to help them to teach shotgun to young folks. Most of the work would take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday during their summer camp season. Other opportunities to teach shotgun would be at special events and perhaps during events where someone rents the range and would like instructor assistance. Any of these instructor services which you might provide to the Center will count toward service hours with ASC.
If you meet their criteria, instructor training is available. The 4-H Shotgun Instructor training includes an online session and two days of in person training. If things go as planned, the in-person training would take place at Airfield.
Contact Dale Mullin ([email protected]) if interested.
The Culmination of the 2023 Bowling Pin Season is Saturday
Gentle Shooters,
We will reach the end of another Bowling Pin season this weekend. Saturday December 2nd is the last match of the season. The pins will go dark until April 6th of 2024. That is 126 days before we will shoot pins again. So don’t miss the match this Saturday at 9:30 at the newly renovated 50 yard range at the Airfield Shooting Club in stunning Wakefield Virginia. The rules for the match and directions can be found at the shooting club web site www.airfieldshootingclub.com Good Luck.

Modified Small Bore Silhouette Rifle Challenge
The first modified NRA Rimfire Silhouette Match shooting small steel silhouette targets (chicken, pigs, turkey & ram) was held on Sunday, November 19. We all had a great time doing our best. Traditionally the match is shot in the standing off-hand position but we will try our hand at the bench using front rests only at the different size animal silhouettes at the berm (approximately 60 yards). The match description is a relay of 4 shooters shooting the course of fire for their respective targets/distance then rotate to the next station and repeat until all four stations have been completed. This is a timed event to complete the string of 5 targets with a rest period of 30 seconds between strings. It is more challenging than one thinks. Our next Rimfire Challenge will be Steel Challenge in December (weather permitting) using 22LR pistols and/or rifles.

Lost items at range
I received an email from a member today about some lost magazines found at the SRB on Friday Nov 10th. Also a drill was left at the range Sunday Nov 5th the work party day. Please email the MO if anyone may have been the members that left either item so they can be returned.
Greetings from member 770 Dave Hodgson.
At the SRB today I found two 17 round pistol magazines that someone probably left on Friday some time. There were a lot of signups so I did not copy them down. Can an email be sent out to see if someone in the club left them? They aint cheap!
Thanks,
Dave
