Airfield Shooting Club

The center has asked for our help in clearing some downed trees and also to cut down trees that may be an issue. In September they are having 100 volunteers show up to move and stack wood. We are looking for volunteers that have chainsaws and/or pole saws and are comfortable in using them or even possibly equipment used in tree removal. We do not want members to over extend themselves or put themselves in positions to hurt themselves or others. There are many trees leaning or limbs that need to be removed and even one tree, that we know of, that has fallen over and the center would like it removed. If you are willing and able to help please let me or Art know via email. Again, we want to be safe and secure with this work party. We will be cutting the wood into fire place length pieces and leaving it for the center to rearrange.

We will be meeting that the range at 9am

Gentle Shooters,

Kudos to our intrepid shooters who braved excessive heat and humidity to log yet another match. The format this month was two strings rather that the traditional four. This is reflected in our results. Our next match will be on balmy August 3rd.

We hope you had a fantastic 4th!  Please enjoy the latest Newsletter from our Newsletter editor Thomas Sanford.  It can be found here:

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!!!
