Airfield Shooting Club

Work Party

It’s time to clean up and do a little range maintenance.  Given time, and enough members show up, I’d like to tackle the following items Sunday starting at 10:00

• Pressure washing the outside of the restroom building.
• Cleaning both the 50-yard and 100-meter ranges.
• Sealing both ranges’ roofs.
• Repainting the red safety lines
• Sealing the wall between the ranges (if enough members show)
• General range and grounds clean up to include the trash immediately outside the gate.

Priority will be given to the work on the ranges as to allow the Swamp Shooters access at 1:30.

We will need:

• Ladders (both step and extension)
• Gas powered pressure washers
• Garden hose
• Telescoping painting poles for sealing the roofs. (We have the brushes and adaptors)
• Gas/battery powered leaf blowers
• Telescopic pressure washer wands for use on the roofs.
• Tools to facilitate safely removing the trash by the gate (rakes and hoes).  There may be reptilian inhabitants.

The forecast is for temps in the 90’s and thunderstorms in the afternoon.  Bring plenty to drink and if the rain forecast holds true, we’ll have to delay the roof work. 

So come out and clean up and improve your ranges.  Remember both ranges will be closed from 10:00 when the Swamp Shooters take over at 1:30. 

Thanks, and I hope to see you on the range,

I’m looking for people interested in spending a little time on the range this Thursday. A dumpster for Sunday’s work party will be delivered inside the range area sometime Thursday. All that will need to be done will be to direct the driver to leave it in the correct location. I’ll give 2 hours of service for each half day (for less than 10 minutes light labor). Ideally, I’d like a volunteer to be at the range in the morning and one in the afternoon. I’d like the morning person there NLT 830 and the afternoon person leave no earlier than 3 (or until the dumpster is delivered). I will get a call 30 minutes prior, but I live more than an hour away. If you live close by the club, and can be on standby (for half or whole day), that would be great as well.

I will coordinate the desired location, phone numbers and names after I get the volunteers.

If you’re able to help out, please contact me at [email protected].

Thanks,

Bring out the ole 22LR caliber rifle to the range and test or challenge your shooting skills in a friendly bench rest shooting event. The shooters will follow a modified version of the ARA Benchrest Shooting Competition shooting 25 bull targets. If you are interested come out for a fun day for some friendly shooting at the range, bring your family or friends. Depending on the number of interested parties, we may have several divisions in a factory or unlimited classification.

See the ARA Modified Flyer and Event Information at these links for more information.

Contact Tom Sanford with any further questions.
