Work Party Saturday still on
We are still having the work party this Saturday to build frames and pin tables. If you need your service hours this will be a good chance to get them. Screw guns, a table saw and chop saws are what we need. Also general hand tools will be needed. If the weather holds old we also hope to get the sidewalk and doors on the building cleaned. See you all there.

Critical Carry Skills – June 1-2, 2024
ASC is hosting Dave Jenkins form Rochester Personal Defense on June 1-2, 2024 to conduct a Critical Carry skills course. I have taken this class from Dave several years ago and was very impressed with it and recommend it. This is for the person that has good gun handling skills, but does not have to be an IDPA champion. This course is designed to teach you what you need to know for concealed carry. This course will be $450 for member and $500 for non-members. For more detail please visit our new Training Page under “Club Programs“.
In response to the member survey, I have established a training page that lists upcoming training events to give members as much notice as possible. I will try to keep this updated.
Respectfully,

Gun Show Volunteers
Looking for a way to get your volunteer hours somewhat painlessly? Volunteer to work at a gun show and get to meet prospective members and talk to them about the things you enjoy about the club and why you find it a worthwhile investment. You will also have the opportunity to walk the show and meet other exhibitors, find good deals on guns, ammunition, and paraphernalia. There are 7 shows every year. Four at the Hampton Convention Center, January, March, September, and November and three at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, February, April, and October. They are held on a weekend so it would be for a Saturday or Sunday. If this sounds like something that you would be willing to do. Send an email to Gary Wyse ([email protected]) and ask to be placed on the Gun Show volunteer list. You will receive an email advising everyone on the list of the next upcoming show. Respond quickly as it is based on a first come, first served basis. All efforts are made to allow people who have not worked previously to be offered the first choice.
There are several shows in the Richmond area every year that the club would like to participate in, but we need a volunteer to be responsible for maintaining the show gear and helping with setup and tear down before and after each show. If this is something you might be interested in, please contact Gary Wyse ([email protected]) for more information.

New shooting benches for the 25/50
A huge thanks to Braden Willis, Boys Scouts Troop 16, and his father, David, for building and donating new shooting benches, rifle racks, sitting benches and a scorers chair to the club for his Eagle Scout project. All the shooting benches were placed at the 25 and 50. A couple rifle racks and benches were also placed at the 50 and the rest along with the scorers chair were placed at the shotgun range.
