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:
What you will need:
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@
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!
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!

Or even a tropical storm. Yes, Gentle Shooters, we sure did think about it, but no, we can’t play in the rain this weekend. See you in November.

Airfield Shooting Club completed another successful 22LR rimfire bench rest match for September with fifteen (15) total shooters between the morning and afternoon sessions. The competition follows a modified American Rimfire Association rule format on the 50 yard line. A huge shoutout to Art and various club members and volunteers replacing and adding more wooden frames which support range events. Next match is scheduled for October 16th.

Good afternoon folks,
We have a near term need that the Center just asked us to support. They need 2 RSOs for shotgun. At least one needs to be familiar with Trap and the other familiar with Skeet.
The group is the Peninsula Community Chapel on Oct 1st from 10am-12pm.
If you have the ability to help out this group please email the Chief Instructor at: [email protected]
This will contribute to your work hours.
Thank you in advance!

Accidents or attacks can happen at anytime. We do our best to be safe, but to quote Forest Gump “Stuff Happens” and we need to be prepared. We have an extraordinary opportunity for our club to help its members be prepared. The club has purchased and installed an AED and emergency tramua kits at the club. But do you know how to use them?
If not, this is the class for you! We have coordinated a trauma medical class for you! HM2 Ricardo Khaleel who teaches combat medics, is offering us an introductory Tactical Combat Casualty Care Class. No, you are not going to get a certification, but you will walk away with critical safety knowledge which you can use to save lives.
In this 1.5 to 2 hour class we will cover the standard trauma care taught to our nations warfighters. This will include how to identify and treat various wounds and conditions, AED Basics, and trauma Kit familiarization.
Our member Brandon Jantzen is helping to coordinate HM2 Khaleel who works and lives out of the Little Creek Amphibious Base area so we are keeping the classroom in this area. Another member John Lowe is offering the use of his training classroom which is in Chesapeake, VA. We hope that you can attend this valuable training.
This training is available for ASC members and their immediate family. It is recommended that individuals be at least 15 years old to attend.
You must Pre-register!!!!!!
Class – Introduction to Tactical Combat Casualty Care
Prerequisites – No previous medical training required.
Time: 0930-1130
Location: Piedmont Service Group office at 533 Byron Street, Suite A, Chesapeake VA
Reservations: Email [email protected] early to ensure your spot!

Any questions, comments, concerns or submissions to the newsletter can be sent to [email protected].
Sorry for the late notice, there will be a work party to build new frames this Saturday morning (September 17) at 9:30 a.m. The 50-yard range will be closed for the duration of this work. We will be replacing all of the existing frames. Tools needed include: drills/impact drivers, torx bits, snap lines, miter saws, table saw (for the beveled edge), chisels, hammers, and tape measures. For the light duty, or mobility challenged, we will also be installing grommets on backers. A hammer and utility knife are needed for this job.
If there are any members with expertise in framing, I also need some advice during this work party.
If you have any questions, I can always be contacted at [email protected].
Thanks, and I hope to see you there,
Art Schoner
