Gentle Shooters,
The elements have conspired to thwart yet another bowling pin extravaganza. We regret to announce that the 2022 bowling pin season has come to a close. We will not shoot in December due to inclement weather expected for Saturday. See you in ’23.

Gentle Shooters,
We end another successful year of bowling pin shooting this Saturday, December 3rd at 9:30 AM at the Airfield Shooting Club Range in scenic Wakefield, VA. We are expecting a beautiful late fall day. If you miss this match, our next one will not be until April 2023. We all know that April showers bring May flowers, so it could be even longer. If you need directions or rules for the match, find them at www.airfieldshootingclub.org. For specific questions, contact our resident adjunct chief pinhead at [email protected].

After careful consideration, the board has decided to close the Short Range Berm (SRB) until further notice due to safety concerns. The wear and tear on the berm has finally exceed the allowable safety margins and we must close it until repairs can be made. The board is currently looking to repair the berm while performing some improvements. The board was working on some solutions, but this has accelerated the effort significantly.
The intent is to reach out to some contractors on Monday, while we draft up specifications for our needed scope of work. The intent is to meet with folks in the beginning of Dec some time to walk through the modifications desired to establish quotes. After that we are at the mercy of the contractor’s schedule once we select them.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but it is in all of our interest to stay safe and be a responsible gun range.

Gentle Shooters,
For once, we encountered gentle weather in November and our 16 shooters made the most of it. There were some truly wonderful scores posted including a perfect run by Cort Tompkins. He left no pins standing through all five disciplines, easily besting all comers for five gun. The last match of the 2022 season is Saturday, December 3rd. After that, the guns of our bowling pin alley will be quiet until April. Your results are below.
