Greetings Gentle Shooters,
Our next installment of “How the Pins Fall” will be this Saturday, May 4th at the Airfield Shooting Club Range in Wakefield. The weather forecast is outstanding for this weekend’s competition. Just a quick reminder that the June pin match will be preempted by the Club’s Women on Target program, so this is the last chance to shoot pins until July. A complete listing of the rules and details of our match are available at https://airfieldshootingclub.org/airfield-shooting-club-programs/asc-bowling-pin-matches/ . If you have specific questions, you can send them our resident Chief Adjunct Assistant Pinhead at [email protected]
See you at the Range
Steven
On April 27th 2019 the Airfield Shooting Club will be hosting a Pistol Class. More information regarding the course can be found by following the below link.
Note: This course has limited space; the course is filled as payments are received. We allow online payments or payments mailed to my home address in Wakefield (PO BOX 523). Payments must be received prior to class to be allowed to attend.
If you have any questions, please contact Tim Drewry by email at [email protected] . If you already have a concealed carry permit, this is a great refresher course, especially if the first course you took to acquire your permit did not have a lecture on the laws in Virginia. If you have family, friends and neighbors who wish to acquire a concealed carry permit, then this course will fully prepare them!!! We hope you will register for this class and join us on April 27th !!!
The ASC Flyer is now published and available here.

You don’t have to be experienced at rifle competition to shoot in our rifle matches. The event is expected to be over by noon but actual completion time is based on the number of competitors.
April 6th dawned dreary, damp and overcast. Despite the light drizzle, I headed out to the range, practice ammo and targets in tow. Certainly, few if any shooters are showing up for this pin match. I’ll hide under the pavilion and drill a few targets and go home. Imagine my surprise when I could not park on the line. We had 23 shooters. They were greeted with drizzle and rain and combined with Friday’s showers, the mud was epic. By mid way through the match, the pins looked like they were camouflaged as the berm colored mud coated them. Regardless, our intrepid sharpshooters picked them off will impunity. We even two shooters tie with a 3.00 second string in Carbine. Hat tip to Charles Langford on that one. Of course, he is the club record holder at 2.48 seconds. Results are below for your viewing pleasure.

Yes Gentle Shooters,
We have returned to that time of year again where bowling pins fall prostrate at the hands of our marksmen. Your match directors have spent the last week together preparing for this match. Ok, well there was the matter of picking up a new Corvette, shooting sporting clays, some bourbon, and of course the evasion of traffic enforcement, not in any particular order mind you. But we did talk about the match. Well, it was more like we thought about it. Had we actually discussed it, we would have told you to be there by 9:30 on Saturday, April 6th at the Airfield Range in beautiful midtown Wakefield. We would have advised that while the rules have not changed and the range has not moved, you can find all of that super pertinent information at www.airfieldshootingclub.org. We also maintain an adjunct assistant chief pinhead to answer specific questions at [email protected].
