• Pressure washing the outside of the restroom building.
• Blowing out and cleaning both the 50-yard and 100-meter ranges.
• Pressure washing both ranges.
• Cleaning and 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.

We will need:
• Ladders (both step and extension)
• Gas powered pressure washers (2 to 3)
• Garden hose
• Telescoping 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. There may be reptilian inhabitants.

So come out and get your service hours in and make your club look a little better. Both ranges will be closed from 10:00 until the work is complete. This is a fair-weather work party. In case of inclement weather, it will be rescheduled for some time in June. If you plan to attend and have any of the major items listed above, please let me know at [email protected].

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

April Fools Bowling Pin Match results

Uncategorized

Gentle Shooters,

We had a nice turnout and great weather for the Bowling Pin Match. Fifteen shooters participated and there were some noteworthy performances. The indomitable Charles Langford cruised to victory in the Five Gun standings after shooting an almost entirely clean match.  I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that Dale Mullin turned in a scorching 3.35 second carbine string with a lever action gun. Way to go Cowboy! The rest of the more plebeian results are below for your viewing pleasure. We will do it again next month on Saturday, May 7th. See you then.

No Foolin’ April Bowling Pin Match

Uncategorized

Gentle Shooters,

You’d be a fool to miss this weekend’s 2022 season opening Bowling Pin match at the soon to be famous Airfield Shooting Club range in historic Wakefield. Ammunition is now more plentiful, so you have no reason not to attend. We will begin at 9:30 this Saturday, April 2nd. For information, rules, and directions, please see our web site at www.airfieldshootingclub.org. For specific questions, our associate, adjunct, chief pinhead is always ready with pithy advice of questionable quality at [email protected]. He isn’t all that bright, but the price is right!

See you at the range

Steven
