The Airfield Shooting Club board is meeting this upcoming Saturday, 18 FEB at 0930. The meeting will be held in the Morgan Conference Room which is a little further down the road (on the right) from where you would turn for the Spain building where we usually meet. Here is a link to the conference center map (https://www.airfieldconference.com/uploads/images/Airfield_Map_NEW_2020.jpg).
A reminder for those that need it, members can come and get their RFID card reloaded with skeet/trap clays each month at the board meeting.
This Saturday February 4th is the next defensive shooting match set up 9:00 a.m. Shooters brief 9:30 followed by stage walkthrough stages are in the attached PDF any questions please email me at [email protected]
Good Evening! Saturday Feb 4th there will be a Tidewater Friends of NRA banquet at the Greenbrier Country Club in Chesapeake, VA. Doors Open at 5:30. If interested we need to get head counts to the Club by Tuesday. Please go to the Friends of NRA website to purchase your ticket or better yet a Table (and get a gun!). Our events average 1 gun for every 10 people. This gives you a great odds to win a gun via raffle, game or live auction. Dinner is included for your ticket price.
Virginia Friends of NRA just got done assinging grants to the amount of $405K. The majority of our money goes to 4-H shooting programs, Boy Scout Camps and Councils, JROTC, youth shooting programs and even some college shooting teams. We also have awarded money to police departments for ballistic vests for K9s and Eddie Eagle Costumes and more. None of the money goes to salaries. This is the non-profit side of the NRA so we can’t do any of the politics etc. We simply raise money to help ensure our shooting sports remain alive.
Visit <here> to purchase tickets! But don’t wait!!!
If you are interested in volunteering contact Scott Sampson at [email protected].
Thank you!!!!!

Fellow members,
We wanted to give you an update and let you know we have been actively working the repairs to the range. We worked throughout the holiday period and contacted several contractors most said they were not interested or didn’t call back. We tried to meet with two contractors. One did not show up the other did and had a great meeting and we received their proposal just before Christmas.
We are asking for some significant repairs and some upgrades, so the price tag is large. We actually through the help of the Center got one more contractor to meet with us. They were at the range on yesterday (Saturday) and will be giving us a bid soon. At that point the board will be reviewing both and making a determination.
The work will involve replacing the SRB and lengthening it by 12′ to give us more shooting bays. We are also looking at leveling the ground in front of the SRB and creating a better drainage and repairing both the 50 and 100 berms. This level of repair is significant but in the end we feel is necessary to ensure our safety and continued enjoyment of the shooting sports.
Please rest assured that we are actively working this issue and take the SRB closure seriously. We let you know more as things develop.
Grab your gear and come out and join a run and gun Set up 9:00AM shooters brief at 9:30AM.
Members entry fee $5 non-members entry fee $10 additional categories for each $2 a piece

We are offering a Shotgun fundamentals class January 14th for 8 people – We only have a few spots left.. It will be taught by Dale Mullin. We plan on offering an advance class covering skeet and trap at some point in the near future and this class will be required to attend those classes. If you don’t take this class you must be proficient with a shotgun and have participated somewhat regularly in shotgun sports (trap, skeet, 5-stand, sporting clays or hunt).
What to Bring:
You need to register for this class by contacting Scott Sampson at instructor@airf
The Cost is $20. You must get confirmation from Scott Sampson before paying. There will be NO refunds regardless of reason. Once verified you have a space you will pay online via the payment portal with “Shotgun Class” put in the payment description.
Class will start at 10 and run until 3/4.
Thank you!
**NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS:**
Be advised that the machine the club uses to load the RFID cards with more birds and produce new cards for new members is broken. ASC has ordered the part, but unfortunately it is on back order. We have asked when it will be available, but do not have an answer yet. As a result, there is going to be a delay for those members requesting refilled or new cards for the shotgun range. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding during this time. We will provide updates as they become available.
Since the SRB is closed while we make repairs to it, I wanted to make sure that people knew how to move the firing line closer to the berm. If you are interested in shooting at closer distances than 25 yds, you are able to move the line forward of the existing firing line. To do so there are a few things that you need to do:
It is imperative that any personnel that are moving behind the firing line have their guns cased or holstered. There will be NO handling of firearms behind the Firing line only on the firing line.
Recommendations:
Otherwise range commands/procedures are the same.
