The Independence Day Pin Shoot Results
We normally hold our Dog Days match in August, but this match certainly could have qualified from a temperature perspective. It could have also been easily called the Rust-Oleum and Naval Jelly match since it has been a full half year since any of our competitors have faced the pins. Nevertheless there were some fantastic scores. Courtney Bolze’s rocking new Kriss Vector sporting a new optical sight nearly edged Art Schoner despite a personal best and fastest string of 2.88 seconds. And a note of the passing of the torch to the next generation. Ellie Gordon smoked her dad in Carbine to place third overall in her first recorded pin match, of course using his gun to beat him. Results are below. Our next match is August 1. See you there.

The 2020 Independence Day Bowling Pin Shoot
Yes Virginia, there is a bowling pin shoot. On July 4, 2020 we will gather at 9:30 AM for our inaugural 2020 Pin Match at the lovely ASC range in scenic Wakefield. Please bring a mask and work gloves for set up and take down. We will enforce social distancing on and off the line, but we expect to shoot without masks.
We are also expecting lots of laughs. Nobody’s eyesight got a lot better over the winter and most of us have not had time or facility to practice. The pins will mock us and lay sideways on the table like they always do. But the pins don’t talk. Don’t worry, your friends will be there and this is your opportunity to taunt them! The rules and directions have not changed and are available the ASC web site www.airfieldshootingclub.org. Your associate deputy chief pinhead has not changed either, so reach him with specific questions at [email protected]
See you at the match,
Steven

Project Appleseed at Airfield Shooting Club
Project Appleseed will be holding a one-day clinic on the 100M range on Saturday, June 20 from 8:00am to 4:00pm. This event will teach students the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship, including concepts such as developing a solid shooting position, natural point of aim, and steps required to fire a successful shot. In between rifle instruction segments, students will learn about the Battles of Lexington and Concord, and the fateful events that moved the colonials down the path to independence on April 19, 1775.
This is a family friendly event, and all skill levels and age ranges are welcome. Bring whatever centerfire or rimfire rifle you have. If you don’t have a rifle, we can provide loaner rifles with some advance notice.
Signup is available at www.appleseedinfo.org, under the Events tab. Walk-ons are welcome, though space is limited. Airfield Shooting Club members attending this event will have their range fee waived; bring your credentials with you to the event.
For questions, please contact Jesse at jesse.

Let’s Shoot Bowling Pins… In July
Dear Fellow Shooters,
We will not be holding a bowling pin match on June 13th . No, June is not be nice to bowling pin month. Your match directors have consulted with the Airfield Board of Directors and we have decided to delay for one month. A significant concern is the time it will take to hold the match. As many of you know, we usually occupy the range for five to six hours on match day. Given the amount of time that the range has been closed and our current limitations on attendance, we felt that the range should be open for all shooters for the next few weekends. Don’t worry, we expect to be back with a bang on the 4th of July. Until then, practice!
Art, Courtney, and Steven
Leaving the range at end of day – close the 4-H gate
Please close the white gate (4-H) at the end of the day if you are the last member leaving the range. The combination for the 4-H gate is listed on your membership badge. If you have trouble with the lock, please close the gate and make sure it appears to be locked. There are concerns with illegal hunting on the property.
The 4-H Center is open to employees only. Please do not go down to the center unless there is an emergency. They have a sign posted and health check procedures in place.
