November Bowling Pin Match Results.

Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

I’m afraid to ask what happened this month. What is the reference to Paul “The Carpenter” Lynch. Better yet, don’t tell me. I am certain I am happier not knowing. And Taylor is truly becoming a Bowling Pin Match Director. The proof is there. He dropped his first string of the day. The curse continues! And Shooters, about your penmanship. Try it! Your mama taught you better that what I saw on my cards this month! With that said, my free range interpretation of your chicken scratch is tallied below for your embarrassment and amusement.If you are so inclined to finish out the 2025 shooting season with us, the last shoot until April is December 6th.

November Bowling Pin Match Saturday

Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

Just like clockwork, the first Saturday of the month is nigh which can only mean two things. Half price Halloween candy and the Bowling Pin Match is back for another installment. You don’t need a costume, we’ve seen most of you. But please do come down to the renowned ASC range in picturesque Wakefield this Saturday to battle with those dastardly reactive wooden targets. We set up promptly around nine-ish. There is a full description of the match along with the rules at our web site www.airfieldshootingclub.org. And we have a pinhead who answers at least half of the pin shooting questions posed to him correctly (sort of?) Contact him at [email protected] with half of your questions.

Range Rules Review

ASC Announce

In light of the recent increase of rule/safety infractions, the ASC board will be reviewing and revising the Range Rules with the goal of simplifying, clarifying and hopefully condensing the rules.  If you have comments or suggestions, please send them in an email to [email protected].  All input will be reviewed by the Governance Committee and possibly forwarded on to the board for incorporation into the Rules.

Although all submissions will be read and reviewed, please do not expect a response.

Safety First

Uncategorized

Fellow members I want to reiterate and emphasize our commitment to safety on the range.  There have been several instances lately where it appears a causal attitude is being taken with how firearms are being handled.  Compliancy kills and will shut down the club.  If you have not reread the rules lately, please do so.  We have these in place to prevent accidents.  Lately we have found where people have discharges rounds outside of our range, bringing uncased guns to the line when the line is cold, handling guns when people are down range, and having people down range when shooting has started.  We take these infractions very seriously.  Someone’s life could have been easily taken with some of these violations.  We are urging you to have ruthless adherence to safety practices and be polite but firm in monitoring others at the club if you see a safety infraction.

If you have ANY questions about what is safe or not, please let us know.  We would much rather answer questions now vs taking disciplinary action or worse having to address an injury or death.  With no staff, we rely on you, our members, to keep our range safe.

Thank you in advance for your efforts in these matters.

Safety Incident/Damage to Range

Uncategorized

Hello from the MO,

Today, Sunday October 12, 2025, while I was at the range making some minor repairs to the range camera system and also sighting in a firearm on the SRB/50, I noticed some damage to the gutters on the front of the structure. It appears that someone discharged a round in the center of the range in the vertical position up thru the bottom of the gutter and the round exited thru the gutter guards. Yes, this damaged the newly installed gutters, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY a round left the range and had the potential to do harm to someone. The thin metal on the gutter system will do little to slow down a high velocity round. From the diameter of the hole it appears to have been from a 22 caliber firearm, most likely an AR type firearm. All members need to take a step back and reevaluate their own safety and range operations along with the rules of the range. This is the 2nd incident that has been identified in less then 2 weeks and both of this incidents had the potential for a round to leave the range, this one most likely did.

Please be safe and report any incidents or damage to the range to me, the Maintenance Officer or any member of the board.

Cory, aka The MO

Buckshot and Shotgun Ranges

Uncategorized

🚫 Buckshot Violation Alert 🚫

We recently discovered buckshot shell casings on the shotgun range.

⚠️ BUCKSHOT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED ON THE SHOTGUN RANGE. ⚠️
This includes trap, skeet, and 5-stand areas.

✅ Allowed Shot Sizes:
Only shot shells size 7.5 or smaller (e.g., 8, 9) are permitted.
🔍 Why? Larger shot can travel beyond our designated shot fall zone, posing a serious safety risk.

🔁 Where Buckshot Is Allowed:
Buckshot, slugs, and similar loads may be used on the SRB or 25/50-yard and 100m ranges.

Let’s keep our ranges safe and enjoyable for everyone. Please follow the rules and help us maintain a safe shooting environment.

Violations of this rule will result in disciplinary action.

Firing Line Safety

Uncategorized

I was recently shown a video of a group on a firing line. The safety violations were staggering. These weren’t new shooters — they appeared experienced, but likely complacent. When I was flying aircraft, we had a saying: “Complacency kills.” These folks were lucky that phrase didn’t hold true.

Let’s talk about firing line safety. While each range has its own rules, there should be a universal baseline of safe behavior. Here are a few fundamentals:

  1. Bringing a Gun to the Line
    Always bring your firearm to the line in a case, and ensure it’s unloaded.
  2. Uncasing
    Before touching the firearm, rotate the case so the barrel faces downrange. Otherwise, you risk pointing the gun in an unsafe direction the moment you touch it.
  3. Open the Action
    Before placing the gun on the bench, open the action, remove any magazines (if applicable), and lay it down with the ejection port facing up. Firearms should never be set down with a closed action or a magazine inserted — except in an emergency. If you have chamber flags, use them.
  4. Cold Line Protocol
    When the line is cold and someone goes downrange, step back from the shooting points.
  5. No Handling During Cold Line
    When someone is downrange, there should be zero handling of firearms. Many ranges also prohibit loading magazines or handling ammunition during this time (ours included).

All of these rules were violated by multiple individuals in a short video I just watched. Shooting sports are enjoyable and historically very safe — but only when we uphold basic safety standards. Let’s stay vigilant and keep it that way.
