Gentle Shooters,
It appears there will be a break in the weather that may allow us to shoot the match tomorrow. If your match directors feel that the conditions will not be safe, then we will post an announcement on the Airfield Shooting Club web site by 6:30 AM Saturday. Otherwise, we are on for the match tomorrow.

Spring Work Party
There will be a massive spring cleaning and maintenance work party on Sunday May 22 at 10:00. We will tackling the following work:
• 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 XO@airfieldshootingclub.org.
Thanks, and I hope to see you on the range,

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.

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.
Steven
