Bowling Pin Smackdown

Gentle Shooters,

If you are a bowler or a pin shooter, you know the humiliation, the horror, and the 15 seconds that a standing bowling pin can exact on a person. This Saturday morning, at 9:30 at the Airfield Shooting Club range in scenic Wakefield, Virginia, you, yes you, can strike back. Bring your wrath, your handguns and carbines, and your skills to Sussex County November 5th. We have directions and rules for the match at www.airfieldshootingclub.org. Specific questions go to the pinhead at [email protected]. Go ahead, ask him anything, but remember he is a pinhead.

SAVE THE DATE – Handgun Combatives Course!!!

Save the date! 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.  This is why I am telling you to mark your calendars now.  The final price is being worked out, but it will be around $500 per person.  Details will follow shortly.

If interested please contact Scott Sampson at [email protected].

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:

  • Fundamentals: grip, trigger control, sight alignment/picture, body position, etc.
  • Ready positions and their use
  • Holster skills
  • Reloading
  • Malfunction clearances

What you will need:

  • A quality defensive handgun (a spare is not a bad idea)
  • A quality duty or concealment holster
  • Three magazines (minimum) with pouches or two speed-loaders (revolver use) with pouches. More magazines if you have a gun that holds less than 10rds (5 mags)
  • Belt designed to support gear
  • 800 rounds minimum
  • Eye and ear protection
  • Billed cap
  • Clothing for weather conditions
  • Water for hydration
  • A folding or camp chair is recommended
  • A concealing garment
  • Good footwear

 

October Rimfire Bench-Rest Challenge October 16th

We have limited shooter positions open for the morning match 8:30 am -12:00 pm and afternoon match (1:00 pm – 4:00). Each competition limited to ten (10) shooters on the 25 – 50-yard ranges. 

Reserve your bench for either the morning or afternoon shoot by contacting Tom at tom.sanford@airfieldshootingclub.org or text/call 757-653-4850, please no calls after 9 PM.

Cost is $5 – ASC Members, $10 – Non-Members. Rules and additional rimfire information posted on website> “Club Programs” under Rimfire Challenge. All participants must attend the morning or afternoon Safety Meeting to shoot!

Urgent Work Party

There will be a (hopefully brief) work party Sunday afternoon (October 9th) at 2:30. The goal of this work party is to maintain the structural integrity of the 50-yard range shelter. We will be installing joist hangers on some of the joists in the overhead. We will also be removing some of the load (wood) stored in the overhead. We will need bottle jacks (and wood to adjust their height), 4×4 or larger post to jack the joists, come alongs with straps or chains, LARGE pipe wrenches (to twist the joists of necessary), and impact drivers with ¼ inch drivers. If you can help and can bring any of the items above, please let me know. Otherwise, I’ll have to acquire them. I can be reached at [email protected].

Thanks, and I hope to see you at the range!
