Dog Daze of Summer Pin Shoot
Gentle Shooters,
We all know there are many things we won’t enjoy this summer. Bowling Pins will not be one of them. Your ASC pinheads joyfully announce the August Bowling Pin Match. We will begin at 9:30 at the beautiful ASC range in Wakefield. Our rules and directions to the match are posted at www.airfieldshootingclub.org and you may direct specific questions to our Chief Assistant Adjunct Pinhead in Residence at [email protected]. See you Saturday.

ASC Social Media/Member Interaction
Members,
At the members meeting a few members asked if we could expand opportunities to interact with other club members online. Of course both of these options are optional and just a means to interact with one another.
The ASC Facebook group is now private, and only verified members are within. You can get there by going here ( https://www.facebook.com/
I also added a forum to the website. Registration may take a bit as reviewing people signing up are actually members is a manual process but it is much more private than Facebook. Facebook isn’t known to be open to pro 2A conversations, or advertising of such events/goods. You can sign up for the ASC Member Forum here: https://
Initially there aren’t many members in either service, but over time we should see more activity. If you should have any issues obtaining access to either please let me know via email to [email protected].

Rules Changes July 2020
Dear Club Members,
After a period of 6 months, we have finally finished and approved a major revision to the Club Rules Document.
This document has undergone a SIGNIFICANT rewrite. The format and organization have completely changed to make it easier to find information. There has been a lot of effort to make things easier to read and clarify items. The changes in content are primarily focused on the following areas:
- Moved Guest “rules” from Bylaws to Rules
- Moved Facilities “rules” from Bylaws to Rules
- Added drawing from the holster – made it clear that drawing form the holster is authorized but muzzle control is paramount (no sweeping of people on the line)
- Added target section to include steel rules. This covers where steel can be placed (Only at the berm on any range), covers minimum distance, covers how to hang the targets etc. Also provided pictures on where to place paper targets on backers.
- Modified Cold Range slightly. In particular if a member wishes to use a table to place targets on a backer, you must use an empty table or if you are doing it at your shooting point, the gun must be removed (placed in a rack) or cased. If there are two people shooting at a table the other person does not have to case their firearms.
- Added Emergency Procedures in the RSO manual as well as added more detail on how to call the range as an RSO.
We will have the rules laminated and placed on the board on the 50 in the near future. In the meantime, the rules will be placed in the log book binders in the 100m Range and also the Low house on the Shotgun Field. We will also have Incident report forms in these locations.
It is expected as responsible members that you read the document over and become familiar with it before heading out to the range. Please be patient with each other as we get use to some of the new changes. If there are any questions you can email instructor@
Thank you!
