Good Evening,

Sorry for the short notice but we holding another Shooter Tune up this Saturday at 10 am. This one will be focused on Rifle! Our own Fletcher Dunton will be hosting this event on the 50 yd range. Depending on the need of the participants he will be going over two distinct marksmanship skills:

1. Basic Rifle Sight-In:

This will include checking and adjusting the scope eye relief, parallax, level, mounts and bore for correctness, and basic bore sight before sending lead down range. Then correct sight in procedure will be covered. Please bring your own rifle to practice on.

2. Precision Rifle Shot Fundamentals:

This will include a review of the classic 5 shooting fundamentals. The focus will be to provide instructions and feedback to give each shooter solid techniques to walk away from the morning with tighter groups.

We hope to see you there. For awareness, the Shooter Tune Ups will be schedule every time there is a 5th Saturday of the month. These are located on the calendar and will vary in the topic we are covering.

See you on the firing line!

December Bowling Pin Match Results

Bowling Pin Matches

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?

Bowling Pin Matches

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
