May Bowling Pin Match

Gentle Shooters,

It is time again to blast bowling pins in the name of ever lower elapsed times. This Saturday, May 4th, we will assemble at the stunning Airfield Shooting range is pastoral Wakefield VA. It will be pastoral until 9:30 when the first shots ring out. But you want to be there at 9 to help set up. Directions to the range and rules to the match can be found at the ASC web site airfieldshootingclub.org. For specific questions, contact our assistant adjunct pinhead at [email protected]

Message from the MO about housekeeping and the AED

Hello all, Saturday April 27th, I made a visit to the range to place the new climate control box for the AED back at the 50. If the AED is used please advise a board member or myself so that we can reset the AED and the cable for the AED box alarm. If the AED is removed an alarm will activate and can only be silenced by replacing the cable or shutting the door on the cabinet.

When I arrived to place the new box I noticed that someone had been shooting at the drink machine end of the 50 and had left a large amount of fired brass from a shooting session on the concrete floor. While we are glad you are enjoying the range please be kind and clean up your fired casings from the range surface. If you notice any unfired rounds or misfires, please place those in the dud can, several unfired rounds were found by numerous members and myself that morning. This keeps it safe for fellow members to walk on the concrete surface. Also please clean up your target backers by removing your used targets from the backer and placing the backer back in the sign in shed when you have completed shooting. Please place all your trash in the provided trash cans. If the cans are full, you could also help out and remove and replace the bags and take them to the dumpster. Extra trash bags should be in the sign in shed. If you do take the trash off, please send me a text or email with a picture and your name and member number and you will be credited for service hours. My information is on the club home page or the sign in shed door. Remember, this is our range, please keep it clean and presentable for all to use.


Thank you,
Cory
Maintenance Officer
