The 4H work party is still a go, its a rain or shine event. One other member going, got an email asking everyone to meet at the Gray Building. I unfortunately, will not be able to attend as I have become under the weather.

Saturday (Oct 7) Activities
The center’s work party tomorrow is a rain or shine event. If you’re attending, be prepared to work in the rain/wet conditions.
The Pin Match decision will be made last minute. If it’s raining in Wakefield in the morning, I’ll post a cancellation on the website and FB. Otherwise, I’ll assess the conditions when I get out there. If the match is cancelled, I’d like the pinheads to crash the Center’s work party to help get that work knocked out.
I hope to see you tomorrow at the range.

Pins Fall in the Fall
Gentle Shooters,
We are entering the final third of the Bowling Match Shooting Season this weekend at the Airfield Shooting Club. Including the tilt on Saturday, October 7th there are only three more bowling pin matches left in 2023. Reserve your spot early by being at the range this Saturday at 9:30. Shooters are requested to check in with the Airfield Shooting Club work party on the adjacent field before departing after the match. We are assisting our 4H partners with getting an archery range and we may need you help.
For those of you who are new to this, we have directions and instructions at the Airfield Shooting club web site. For specific questions, please feel free to ping a pinhead at [email protected].

September Rimfire Challenge Results
The September Rimfire Challenge is in the books for the Modified Benchrest Challenge. The weather was great except for the wind gusts. It proved most challenging for the most experienced contestants.
If you have not had a chance to experience a Rimfire Challenge, come out on the 3rd Sunday of the month. The range is set up with a short sighting in period from 7:00 am to 8:30, Safety Meeting at 8:30, and the Rimfire Challenge runs from 9:00am to Noon.
The next Rimfire Challenge is the KNOW YOUR LIMITS (KYL) that will test your limits. KYL Targets are 8 swinging steel targets at 50-yard line, ranging in size from 2” diameter to ¼” diameter in ¼” increments. Any firearm chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge may be used. Front bag or rest only, shooting off the bench. This is a timed event for best score.
See you at the range!
