If none of these options are convenient for you we can, with your cooperation, conduct a Criminal History Record Check. Additionally, you must commit to contributing at least six hours pf public service to the club per year. Public service includes assisting with ASC- sponsored shooting events, volunteering with the ASC youth programs, serving on a Friends of NRA committe, working the club's table at local gunshows, performing range improvements or maintenance, and other activities that may be approved by the Board of Directors. Members who are not able to meet these public service requirements may instead contribute to the club at the rate of $10 per hour of public service not served.

What are the range operating hours? - Club members are given the combination to the range's gate lock, and may generally use the range at any time during daylight hours. We do share the range with the 4-H Center, and the range may be reserved for their exclusive use from time to time. This typically happens during weekday mornings in the Summer months, and infrequently on Saturdays or Sundays throughout the year. Range closings are posted well in advance on the calendar.
Are there any other benefits to being a member? Yes! Among other things, the Airfield Shooting Club is affiliated with the CMP. This allows our members to purchase surplus rifles and ammunition through the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
