Arlington-Fairfax Chapter, Inc. Izaak Walton League of America 14708 Mount Olive Road Post Office Box 366 , Centreville, VA 20122-0366 Newsletter Volume 51, Number 3 May, June and July 2013 NRA Three-Gun Match – Saturday, July 13th 10 AM to 12 Noon at the Rifle-Pistol Range With the chapter’s permission, the NRA will sponsor and run a .22 caliber rimfire/ 12 gauge shotgun three-gun match at the chapter’s Rifle-Pistol Range the morning of the chapter picnic, Saturday, July 13th from 10 AM to 12 Noon. The match will be open (no fees) only to chapter members and their guests. The NRA will provide the firearms and ammunition, reactive steel targets, safety officials, and judges. Each participant will shoot five rounds of 12 gauge shotgun number 8 pellets at five reactive steel targets at 15 yards, five rounds of .22 caliber rimfire from an AR-15 style rifle at steel targets at 25 yards, and up to ten rounds of .22 caliber rimfire from a semi-automatic pistol at 10 yards. The order of shooting will be rifle, shotgun, and then pistol. The participants will move from one firing station to another. They will not shoot while moving and the firearms will stay at their respective stations. There will be no drawing of firearms from holsters. Scoring will be based on hitting (and moving) the steel reactive targets and the elapsed time used by each shooter. With limited ammunition and the need to hit the targets to score, accuracy is more important than speed. This match will close the Rifle-Pistol Range on Saturday morning, July 13th. Only match participants can shoot at the range between 10 AM and 12 Noon. The Rifle-Pistol Range will remain closed after 12 Noon for the chapter picnic. (Before 10 AM the NRA personnel will be setting up the match and the range will be closed to members for shooting.)

Well no big deal, until you attempt to leave the property and the main gate will not open. Any attempt to force the gate open will and has done extensive damage to the system that can get very costly in repairs. There is a very simple way of opening the gate in this situation as I will outline below. On the post on the right side of the gate is a small box with a combina- tion pad lock on it. The combination to this lock is the same as the entry code you use to open the gate to enter the property. Simply open the lock and remove the key inside. On top of the cylinder that opens the gate you will see a black plastic slide, simply slide the door back insert the key and rotate it several times. This has to be done to both gates and this will release the cylinders allowing the gates to swing free. Please replace the key and lock the lockbox. Do not attempt to reset the cylinders as this has to be done by myself or someone with the proper knowledge of the operating system. Thanks Rick Kohne Remember if you want to schedule 6 or 8 hour work you need to contact Rick @ 571-334-5125 3 AFC-IWLA May, June & July 2013 ARCHERY UPDATE Cub Run Archers would like to extend a warm welcome and an invitation to all members of the IWLA to take ad- vantage of the many facilities, training opportunities, archery equipment, events and great camaraderie that our club has to offer. Our state of the art indoor range is available for your use anytime a qualified Range Officer is on site. It is common knowledge that a good many regulars in the club are at the range house every morning from approximately 9:30 am until noon. This is a great time to come down and introduce yourself and find out what Cub Run Archers is all about. If you are new to archery and need advice on anything from bow setup, arrow tun- ing to shooting technique, not only will you find literally, several hundred years of collective experience, but the equipment to perform those tasks. We especially would like to encourage youth participation and have a great many youth bows that young shooters may practice with to develop their skills. The cost to join Cub Run Archers is only $15 per year, per family. Though you don’t need to be a member of Cub Run Archers to use the facilities, we have a monthly newsletter and several dinners and picnics throughout the year and attendance at even one of these would easily be worth the annual membership. If you are interested, please contact Robert D’lmperio, Sec- retary, Cub Run Archers, 13490 Edge Rock Ct. Chantilly, VA 20151. You may email Bob at rob- [email protected] as well. The outdoor facilities are available to any member in good standing of the IWLA. We have practice range with target butts at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 yards. These are lighted as well if you would like to shoot in the evenings. There is also a crossbow station with a movable bag target for field point shooting and a broadhead tar- get for shooting broadheads into. Remember, crossbows are allowed ONLY at the special crossbow station and not at any of the other targets or ranges. A 28 point field archery course is also available for use to all IWLA members. Daytime use only as there is no lighting on the field course. Up Coming Cub Run Shoots AFRICAN SAFARI SHOOT: JUNE 16th Twenty eight 2-D safari animal targets throughout our wooded archery range.
