Range set up during the 4-H Camp!!!

Uncategorized

Folks,

During the week while summer 4-H camp is going on, please leave the tables and target frames in the same location as you found them.  If you move the for your shooting session they must go back to the location you found them before you leave.  The reason is the 4-H instructors are wasting time re-setting the range each morning.

It is OK that you use the range during the week after the Campers, but if this continues, we will have to close the range down for the entire week.  Please work with us to maintain the range in the condition you found it.

Thank you for your cooperation!!!

June Bowling Pin Match Results – Longtime Match Director sets new club record

Bowling Pin Matches

Gentle Shooters,

I am pleased to post the results of the June 2024 ASC Bowling Pin Match. We set a new record on the range today. Longtime match director Steven Gordon posted a combined aggregate five gun score of 536.01 seconds. That is nearly nine minutes of agonizing struggling on the firing line. When interviewed after the match Gordon was sanguine regarding the achievement. “There is actually a possible 1,300 seconds in a five string aggregate score. With a little more focus on poor trigger control and sight alignment I think we can push the number higher and we are really just beginning to explore jerking the follow through” he stated. For those of you who are less creative about missing the pins, your scores are reported below.

Our next match is July 5th.

Steven

Rimfire Challenge

ASC Event

This month’s Rimfire Challenge will be the Modified Metal Madness; it is a speed shooting competition consisting of shooting five steel targets in the proper order using a 22LR pistol or rifle. Competitors are scored solely by the time it takes to complete each stage. The course of fire is designed to be completed by even the most inexperienced shooter using one 10-round magazine per string without the need to reload “on the clock.” It is recommended to have 2 – 5 magazines; note a maximum of 10 round limits per string.  The match winner is the competitor with the lowest overall time.  We will set up a couple of benchrest stations and KYL “Know Your Limits” spinner targets if you want to try them.

The range is set up at 7:00 am, Safety Meeting 8:00-8:30 am, and the safety meeting is mandatory to shoot the match. The match starts immediately after the safety meeting.  Contact Match Director: Tom Sanford, [email protected]
