December Bowling Pin Match Results

We had an outstanding match to close our season Saturday. A baker’s dozen shooters competed while enjoying each others company. There was a lot of talk about potential untoward development from our new legislative regime in Richmond, but we did not let it dampen our spirits. Half of our group met for lunch at the Virginia Diner afterwards. As veteran pin shooters know, we can’t shoot in the dead of winter because the plastic coating on the pins is fragile during cold weather. Our next pin match will be April 4, 2020. Match results are below.

December Bowling Pin Match Last Ever Carbine Match?

Well Gentle Shooters,

As I look back to last month, the biggest news for the pin match was that we had nice weather. Based on what we hear from the new leadership in the General Assembly, this month we hold what could be the last ever carbine bowling pin match at our range. Certainly pin matches will go on at the range. We have survived gun bans before and we can adapt the matches based on whatever legislation comes out of Richmond. But it just feels like this match will be special, kind of an old school throwback. I think we should all show up, plan to make a day of it. After the match, maybe a bunch of us go up the the Virginia Diner, who knows? Anyway, I do hope you will come out for our last match of the season. All of the normal particulars apply. We start at 9:30, rules and directions are on the web page www.airfieldshootingclub.org and specific questions go to the aged and decrepit pinhead at [email protected].

Hope to see you Saturday

Steven

Virginia Gun Rights: A Call To Pens !

A CALL TO PENS!

Fellow Members of ASC, as we are sure you are aware the last election did not go our way as gun owners.  The newly elected officials for 2020 are already proposing draconian laws that in some cases will make most of us felons (Class 6 – minimum 5 year prison term) with the stroke of pen unless we turn in our firearms.  The time to act was during the election, but now it is imperative that we rise up and make our voices heard and pray that it is not too late.

Many of the cities that our members live in are having 2A Sanctuary City votes and discussions.  At this point the resolution may mean little legally, however it does send a message to Richmond that we the people are not going to stand for our rights to be infringed.  Time is of the essence.  There are already 20 cities/counties that have passed 2A Sanctuary Resolutions, but we have a long way to go.  If your city/county has not yet had a 2A Sanctuary City Resolution vote we would like to encourage you to contact your city or county representatives and let them know your concerns and fears and why a vote in a positive manner is needed.  The following cities have meetings on the 2A Sanctuary resolution.  We strongly encourage you to attend these meetings if you reside in their city and make your voices heard politely and respectfully.

Virginia Beach – Dec 3rd

Chesapeake – Dec 10th

It is also important for you to become educated on these extreme measures that are being proposed by the VA congress and respond politely and professionally to your representative.  Many of us have left the fight up to organization like NRA and Virginia Citizens Defense League to fight this effort, but they need your help, they need your voice. The days ahead are troubling to say the least.  You can find more information on the following websites:

Https://nraila.org – NRA web site  Institute for Legislative Action

Https://vcdl.org – Virginia Citizen’s Defense League

Https://lis.virginia.gov – State of Virginia proposed legislation

Per ASC’s By-laws, the clubs purpose is “…influence legislation to protect the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms”. Rest assured that action groups like Mom’s Demand Action are in full swing to ensure your rights are infringed.  If we are not successful in convincing legislators to abandon these horrendous bills, our way of life and our children’s way of life will be forever changed in VA.

We will try to keep you up to speed as best we can in the following weeks and months and let you about specific actions and events you can become involved with.

Respectfully,

ASC Board of Directors
