WORK PARTY!

We’ll have our spring frame and Bowling Pin Table work party this coming Saturday February 26th at 10:00. We will build 7 bowling pin tables and replace the SRB target frames. Some other frames require some repair, but not replacement. We will need at least one table saw to rip the lower cross member of the frames. Some miter saws and drills/drivers should do the rest. If you have Torx drivers, bring T20 through T30.

We will be working on the 50-yard range and the hundred will remain open, except for time to retrieve and replace frames for repair. Given sufficient turn out we should be done by noon.

I also need volunteers to get service hours for shooting! The wood for the work above will be delivered sometime Friday. I won’t know more about scheduling until late Thursday or Friday morning. I’d like 2 volunteers to cover all day Friday. One from 8 until 12, and the other from 12 until 4. You’re free to shoot, or just lounge around. I just need the range open and someone to accept the delivery. If you’re interested, please contact me via email at [email protected].

Thanks, and see you on the range.

ASC Webmaster Position Available

ASC Members,

Due to family and work commitments, after quite some time serving as the club’s webmaster I’ve decided it’s time to step down from the position. I’ve been passively looking for a member that has interest for some time, but it’s time to ramp up efforts to find a quality replacement. I’ll continue serving until we can find a replacement in a limited capacity.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the ASC board, maintaining our website and email automation system, and helping out with other technology related needs for the club this might just be the position for you.  The website runs on WordPress, and is minimally customized so there shouldn’t be a huge learning curve for anyone who has WordPress experience.

 

If you are interested in the position and want to learn more, please send me an email.

One Person Needed for a Work Party

We are in the process of installing a cell phone repeater to provide emergency cell phone service to rifle/handgun range area. We need one volunteer who is comfortable, and capable of, working in tight spaces. The work involves entering the restroom building attic to install the electronics and an interior antenna and also running a cable to the far end of the building. (The air handler and ducting are up there making things a little tight.) Work will start at 10:00 Saturday morning and we should be done within 2 hours.

If you are interested, please send me your name and phone number in an email at [email protected].

Bowling Pin Match Results December 2021

Gentle Shooters,

As I rode back home yesterday after the last match of the season, in my mind I had prepared a long, poetic reminiscence of another season of bowling pin shooting. However, it is going to be another beautiful day and the car is loaded for a trip to the sporting clays range. I’d love to stay and chat, but daylight is burning, so here are your scores and I will see you in April, or around the range before. Practice up, because I will be! Here are your results.

December Bowling Pin Match

Well Gentle Shooters,

We are approaching the end of another season of Bowling Pins. As many of our experienced shooters know, the coating on the pins does not hold up in the cold winter months. So this Saturday, December 4th will be our last match until April. We will begin at 9:30 at the stunning Airfield Shooting Club range in idyllic Wakefield. Directions to the range and rules for the match are available at our web site www.airfieldshootingclub.org and individual questions can be addressed to the pinhead at [email protected].

See you Saturday,

Steven
