ASC Defensive Pistol match training session

Uncategorized

We do not have a sufficient number of shooters for a regular ASC Defensive Pistol match, and will hold a training session instead.

Stages..
We will set up stages or individual props to practice specific skills (such as shooting on the move, engaging moving targets, transitions, shooting from cover etc.) based on shooters’ interests.
We will time each other and use safety officers like in a regular match.

Fees..
We ask shooters to contribute a fee of $5 to offset costs for consumables and targets.

We encourage you to bring a pistol-caliber carbine if you own one which will give you the option for training some tactical carbine shooting.
No prior experience is required and is open to anyone that wants to participate.

Time..
Set-up will begin at 8:45 am. We will likely wrap up in the early afternoon, around 2 pm. You can join us any time.

Any queations or need more info please contact Jeff or Tanja at

New Rifle Match Opportunities

Uncategorized

Expanding opportunities for high power sports—traditional service rifles, modern sporters and the coming zombie apocalypse

Starting in November 2014, highpower modern sporting rifle and service rifle participants will have two venues to shoot; Traditional Service Rifle (using CMP rules) or the new Zombie Rifle Match (see attached article).

The Airfield Shooting Club’s (ASC) primary mission is to “promote safety and shooting education” for members and non-member guests. Since taking the primary role of directing our monthly matches, a number of ASC members have talked to me and raised a number of issues that should be addressed or clarified. This article will highlight three main areas of concern that I have heard from participants in our “Service Rifle.” It is the intent that addressing these three main issues, it will allow ASC members to have greater knowledge, and feel more inclusive to our monthly event. The three main areas of concerns we will address: 1. Is “Service Rifle” just a Civilian Marksmanship Program event?; 2. What if I am not an owner of a CMP sanctioned rifle?, and finally, 3. What opportunities do I have if I am a high-power shooter wanting to shoot in a completive event, but not a CMP-like Service Rifle Match?

Defensive Pistol Match 31 May 2014

Uncategorized

The first Defensive Pistol Match of the year is this Saturday.

We will have four stages and the course of fire is attached as a pdf below.

Set-up will begin at 8 am. 

We hope there will be a good turn-out. In order to decrease wait times, there will be three different squads. Please be there at the designated time; each squad will begin with a match brief. The only stage walk-through will be at 10 am. If you cannot make it, please read the stage descriptions and talk to the other shooters. If the shooter is not “ready” when walking up to the line, the on-deck shooter will shoot instead, so that the first shooter has additional time to review the stage. We need to work expeditiously to minimize wait times, and we need help from all with pasting and resetting.

Squad 1: 10:00 am

Squad 2: 12:00 pm

Squad 3: 2:00 pm 

Please email me your squad preference and indicate a second choice.

Respond to this email or send your preferred squad to [email protected]. Email sign-in will close on Friday, May 30, at 12 noon.

Walk-ins are welcome, but may encounter longer wait times.

RSO’s NEEDED

Uncategorized

Want to get your volunteer hours and have some fun too?  We will have Boy Scouts using the ranges on May 10th and will need RSO’s.  They will be using all ranges so we need 4 RSO’s for the day. If you are available for the day you can satisfy your service hour requirements all at one time. Please contact me at [email protected] or call me at 757-572-2835.

We also have Scouts using ranges on May 24th and May 31st  If you can help with any of these events please contact me.

Thanks for your support.
