Airfield Shooting Club

On October 30, 2021, the Airfield Shooting Club (ASC) is hosting a Pistol Class including sec-
tions on the Law of Concealed Carry and Self Defense and Methods of Concealed Carry.

The ASC Pistol Class is intended to provide hands-on orientation to the safe handling of handguns and includes both
classroom and live-fire training. Our instructors teach both revolver and semi-auto sections in this class. In addition to
the ASC Pistol Class, over an hour long session is scheduled with Timothy W. Drewry, a Virginia licensed attorney,
who will discuss some of the legal aspects of carrying concealed firearms and self defense in Virginia. The attorney is a
certified pistol instructor too and usually remains with the class until the very end so that he may answer questions

which may arise. An additional segment of the course will include a brief discussion of some of the firearms appropri-
ate for concealed carry and the holsters or other devices which might be suited for carrying a firearm concealed.

Please note that the ASC Pistol Class, including the legal and concealed carry sections, is a non-NRA course, but it
satisfies the handgun competency requirements set forth in Virginia Code § 18.2-308.02 (B). This course is conducted
by state certified or NRA certified firearms instructors.
Those who successfully complete the ASC Pistol Class will receive a certificate which will serve as
proof of training for the purpose of obtaining a Virginia Concealed Handgun Permit.

The course is scheduled to commence at 9:00 a.m. in the Spain Conference Building located at the Air-
field 4-H Conference Center (near Wakefield).

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend! Some doubted that we could successfully pull off a major work party concurrently with a Bowling Pin Match (Steven!!). I thought, despite my poor shooting, that both were tremendous successes and wanted to thank all who participated in Saturday’s activities.  The work party crew did a great job building beautiful new frames for every possible position on the ranges.  Let’s do our best to keep these frames intact! If you find someone, carelessly or otherwise, shooting the frames, please point it out to them.  If the problem persists, please contact the Provost.  Speaking of the Provost, I’d like to extend a special Thank You to Mark for running a well-organized work party, allowing us to run the Pin Match as usual.

I’m tentatively planning a range clean-up work party for some time next month.  I’m planning on weed/brush trimming and general clean up.

Thanks again,

Art Schoner
