If you have a tractor and land plane and would be willing to use them to improve our club by performing some maintenance and repairs on our parking lots and interior roadway for service hours, please contact me at [email protected]. If I get multiple responses, I’m sure we can use help again after the berm work is complete.

Register now for Handgun Combatives Course Sept 23/24, 2023
ASC is hosting David Jenkins, founder of Rochester Personal Defense to put on Dave Spaulding’s Handgun Combatives Class. Dave Spaulding retired and has only certified a few folks to continue teaching his course and Dave Jenkins is one of them. I have known Dave Jenkins for several years and taken instructor classes with him as well as taken classes from him and can recommend Dave completely.
This class is something you won’t want to miss.
If interested please contact Scott Sampson at [email protected]. Once you have contacted him you will be asked to pay on the ASC Payment Portal. Enter Handgun Combatives Class in the payment description. Your spot is not held until payment is made. Refunds will only be considered until 1 August. After that refunds will not be granted as we have to commit.
The cost is $450 for Members and $500 for non-members. Sorry immediate family who are not members are not eligible for the member price. To pay the $450 price you must enter a valid membership number. If paying for two members put that in the Payment Notes.
Here is the class 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 to become more efficient.
This course will show you how to effectively use your handgun for real-world combat in a life-or-death situation. This includes:
What you will need:

Good afternoon folks!
The board just finished its February board meeting and we are happy to announce that we think we have a path forward. The board approved two contracts to conduct necessary range repair/maintenance. The first contract we need to execute is for the removal of the lead from the berms. This contract is expected to be awarded to a company, MT2 to facilitate. The 2nd contract is to a company for the repair of the Short Range Berm and build up of the 50yd and 100m ranges.
The removal of lead is required before we can repair the berms for a number of reasons. The repair cannot start until the lead removal is complete. Because the Airfield Conference Center actually own the property we need our proposal to approved their Board. The new Director of the Center was present at our meeting and will try to get it completed next week. She is in agreement with the ASC Board’s direction.
We don’t have specific dates as this is just breaking. We are hoping to have MT2 out in March to remove the lead. We are hoping to know dates next week or perhaps early the following week. It is our hope that once we have dates we can coordinate that with the repair company to come in shortly after that. The repair contractor has indicated that it should take about 2 weeks to complete their work.
Please note that once the lead removal starts, the SRB, 50 and 100 will be closed until the repairs are complete. We cannot use the berms between the lead removal and the repair. We apologize in advance for the closure and the delay for getting to this point. It has been painful. The board believes that in the end, the range will be in much better condition resulting in a safer, environmentally compliant and more enjoyable shooting experience.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the board.
Thank you for your patience!
