THE
OctoBER 2010
Anne Arundel Fish & Game Conservation Association
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect
themselves against tyranny in government.”
- Thomas Jefferson
From the President
J
en and I extend autumn
greetings to all of you. It was
a busy September for us with
my unrelenting travel schedule.
I expect October to be quieter
on the personal front. Lots of
great stuff coming up on the
AAFG front though.
I would like to clarify
something I wrote in my
last column. I wrote that “A
member may have two (2)
guests on the property at any
time.” That is not entirely
accurate; a member may have
the entire Vienna Boys Choir
on the property as guests if they
wish, so as long as each one is
directly supervised at all times
by the member.
Our Property Stewardship
Committee reports that our
request for the variance was
approved. We need to allow the
review period to expire, which
is either 30 or 60 days before
we start work. I hope to have
things back online by late Fall
or early Winter. This process
has not moved with anything
akin to alacrity, so if I was
willing to wager, I’d be thinking
Merry Christmas.
We will elect new Officers
and Directors at the December
General Meeting. I have seen
the slate forwarded by Bullseye
Maven and Nominating
Committee Chairman, Paul
President, continued on Page 6.

History, Marksmanship, & You
D
id you know that the Appleseed rifle
marksmanship project is THE fastest
growing shooting program in the USA
with a projected 1000 classes this year,
nationwide?
• Do you know the real story... the true
story... of the 1st day at Lexington and
Concord that led to the founding of our
great nation? • Did you know, that AAFG is the only
club in Maryland to offer Appleseed rifle
marksmanship project?
• Did you know that YOU, as an
AAFG member, have the ability, to
gather a group of people together to
have YOUR OWN Appleseed class?
As a THANK YOU for the kindness and courtesy extended by AAFG to
the Appleseed Project, I am now able to schedule Appleseed Project classes for
ANY group of 10 or more folks who wish to take the class. These classes can
be special ONE day, or the standard two day classes....
So how about it??? Want to find out what all the fuss is about? Want
to earn the your Rifleman designation? Want to learn the story that they don’t
teach our children in school anymore? Organize at least 10 of your fellow
bullseye, shotgun, action pistol, or just friends and family, send me an email,
and we’ll pick a date, secure approval, and make it happen!
Remember, women, active duty military, LEO, and children under 21
SHOOT FREE.
Feel free to stop by the see what we’re about...Oct 9-10 at the William
Showacre small-bore range, all day.

The following is an update concerning Anne Arundel Fish and Game bullseye pistol shooting activities.
Bullseye Pistol League
T
•
•
•
he Fall Bullseye Pistol League will commence this Sunday, September 26.
• The Sunday league day is no longer a scheduled event. Due to low attendance for the one .22 900 aggregate at
9:30am on Sundays the league will only be held if there is sufficient shooter interest and a qualified CRO available.
The league will not be included in the prepaid league fees, however if held the cost will be $3.00 per aggregate.
The Thursday and Saturday league days will continue as previously scheduled with a prepaid 13 week fee of $25.00
for either day, or $40.00 for both days. The cost for a single aggregate will remain $3.00. The league times and
courses of fire are as follows:
Thursday, 12:00pm, two 900 aggregates, any caliber.
Saturday, 9:00am, two 900 aggregates, .22 the first agg and any center fire the second agg.
If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact me.
T
Army “L” Target 1800 Tournament
he end of month tournament will be conducted this
coming Saturday, September 25. The first round down
range is at 9:00 am. The first 900 aggregate is for the .22
pistol, the second is for any center fire pistol.
The cost is $5.00 per gun. Scores are ranked and cash
awards will be provided to the first two shooters in each
group of five shooters (modified Lewis system).
www.aafg.org
Shooting positions are allocated on a first come first
served basis. It is recommended that you be at the range
at least 30 minutes before start time to make sure you
have a position.

Rifle Shooting
Range additions & modifications. Users of the Eccles
Range may notice some changes and additions. First,
room T-33, the open storage room for the frames, carpet
remnants, target backers and chairs has
been reconfigured somewhat to make it
easier to store said materials. The shelf
that was above the target frames has been
removed to allow for the 6" taller target
frames we’re now using and the shelf to
the left was raised to allow for a lower
shelf to be installed. On the lower shelf
can now be found the carpet remnants and
some target frame repair materials. On the
upper shelf can be found the Igloo water
cooler (for those hot, humid summer days
hopefully behind us now), bore solvent, a
cleaning kit, and some spare target backers.
Underneath the shelves are additional
target backers and the folding chairs.
First, a note about the spare target
backers and then about the frame repair
materials. You’ll see that the cardboard
backers are wider than the frames by a few
inches. This leads some shooters to affix
two large size targets side by side and,
even though the bullseyes are not directly
over the sides of the frame, shots that do
not hit in the bullseye are then often in or
through the frame, damaging the frame
rails to the point where they need repair
and frequently need to be discarded as
unusable. Hence, the need for frame repair
materials!
So, if you staple a new backer to the
frame, kindly trim the backer so it does
not extend beyond the outside of the frame
rails. The frame repair materials came from
damaged frames that were pretty much
beyond repair. Using these varied-length
sections of 1"x 2" and plenty of duct tape
(also provided) you can usually splint the
damaged frames and get a few more days
or weeks of use out of them. Obviously, wooden frames at
a shooting range are pretty much a consumable item and
will need to be replaced periodically. But let’s all try to
make that period a reasonable one and not have to replace
frames on a monthly basis.
While cannibalizing damaged frames for repair sections
I noticed one frame that clearly had been the recipient of
a load of #6 copper plated shot. Also notice the multiple
staples and remnants of a backer that someone just
AAF&G Score • October 2010 • 4
slapped up and stapled to the top spreader. Shooting at
the top and bottom spreaders damages the frame much
the same as does hitting the rail and the frame has to be
replaced sooner rather than later.
Please do not shoot shot on the Eccles Range. We now
have a hunting load patterning board now (but no steel
shot & no slugs or sabots). Use only this board for testing
your turkey,duck, or goose loads, chokes, and guns.
All Eccles Range users are encouraged to leave the door
to room T-33 closed when you depart
the range in order to keep critters from
thinking we’ve provided them a cozy
winter retreat. While the T-33 storage
room modifications were being made,
a mouse was noticed. It was dead at the
time, but obviously got in there under its
own power. In the other storeroom there
was evidence of at least one mouse not
yet deceased. Traps were set (not hunting,
just vermin control) and two mice were
caught and summarily executed. Now
admittedly, these mice probably got
in via some tiny gaps in the sheathing,
but larger critters that might react in
an unfriendly manner if surprised by
someone just wanting a target frame
could take advantage of an open door. So
please leave it closed and latched when
you’re the last person leaving the range.
Another addition to the Firing
line are some mesh curtains that you’ll
see hanging from cables stretched across
the ceiling. These were installed to (1)
keep hot semi-auto brass from pelting the
shooter to your right and (2) to make it a
bit easier to corral and retrieve the spent
brass for reloading. To use, simply unclip
the captive rubber bungee acting as a
swag and pull the curtain out to extend it
fully. You can adjust it fore and aft so it
can be positioned to intercept your brass
according to where your gun flings it
(except for those that fling forward and
those that fling straight up or straight
back). When done, re-secure the curtain
to the post using the bungee. The curtain
between positions #2 and #3 is just
bundled with the bungee and left hanging in front of or
behind the rifle rack since there’s no post to attach it to.
In the very near future there will be some heavy weights
that will sit on the pad and can be attached to the curtains
to keep them from blowing in the wind and annoying
your neighbor. FYI, the curtains were the brainchild of
El Presidente Dave Cloutier, who also did most of the
installation, and have already proven to be effective.

Score I would like to call to the attention
82/1X of all Eccles Range users the fact
that for the past few years we have
80
had AR15 and Vintage Rifle matches
scheduled for the 1st and 2nd Saturdays
of the month respectively. These
Score
matches are regularly scheduled for
88/1X
every month, listed in The SCORE
94/1X
as well as on the AAF&G website,
and scheduled on the Eccles Range
bulletin board in addition to a large
Score sign announcing the matches on the
day of the match. Typically, both
NR
AR15 and Vintage matches last for
90/1
about two hours – from 10:00am
until 12 noon. Because the matches
are regularly scheduled, because the
Score
Vintage Rifle Matches especially are
85
very popular, and because there are
90
only six shooting positions, we have
to reserve the range exclusively for
match competitors. So, the general
Score Eccles Range policy from now on will
75
be as follows:
94/3X Casual or informal (Non-Match)
shooters must wait to shoot until
12 noon or until there are no longer
6 match shooters still shooting,
Score
whichever comes first.
96/2X
I hope that this policy strikes a
happy balance between the needs/
desires of match and non-match
shooters alike given our limited
shooting hours and shooting positions
on the Eccles Range.

President, from Page 1.
Striffler, and I am pleased with the commitments being
made by members to serve our Association. When I think
about it, I am reminded of the motto inscribed on the
heraldic crest of the Prince of Wales, “ICH DIEN.” It
means “I Serve,” and that sums it up aptly. Each of your
Officers and Directors gives freely of valuable time that
they can never get back. Please thank them when you get
a chance.
The annual Bull Roast is scheduled for October 9th.
Come out and enjoy some good food and fellowship. I
would like to extend kudos to Life Members William J.
Palk and J. Andrew McKinney for stepping up to become
Appleseed Instructors In Training. Brian Swift recently
has been anointed a full Appleseed Instructor and now
will be conducting classes on his own. Congratulations to
Brian! Well done.
Stay safe, and I look forward to seeing more of you at
the General Meetings and on the ranges.

Frankie Duarte, Delaney Butler and Alex Clay.
Thanks to the AAF&G team members for helping with
the September Junior Rifle Orientation Class. Four of
the team members belong to the Annapolis NJROTC air
rifle team and this helps them teach what they’ve learned.
Plus, they can earn Community Service hours for the unit.
At the moment the team members are just keeping
their skills up. We might enter a fall match or two. Chris
and Courtney are learning more about the Off-Hand and
Kneeling postitions.

BULLSEYE PISTOL REPORT
(Reprised)
A
s the summer Bullseye Pistol competitive shooting
season has been enjoyed by many AAF&G BE pistol
league shooters, one informal tournament continues to
draw many experienced and novice shooters. That event
is the last Saturday of the month Army “L” Target 1800
tournament. This fun competition is fired all at 25 yds. on
the large “L” target, which is much more forgiving than
the NRA conventional pistol target. The “L” target was
used extensively, from before the 40s and through the 60s,
by police departments and the military to conduct pistol
qualification courses, often fired at much closer distances
than our matches.
The AAF&G “L” target tournament is fired in two
90 shoot aggregates (agg). The first agg is fired with the
.22 pistol and the second with any center fire pistol. The
course of fire (COF) and the range commands are exactly
like the NRA conventional 900 agg with a few exceptions.
The first being that the slow fire portions are fired at 25
yds. vice 50 yds. as indicated above. Other differences
include limiting slow fire to five minutes vice ten, and
not allowing any refires due to pistol or ammunition
malfunctions. That means you need to check out your
pistols and ammo well, at the very least on the plinking
range, before you fire an “L” target match.
The 900 NRA agg COF includes 30 rounds of slow fire
(SF), 30 rounds of timed fire (TF), and 30 rounds of rapid
fire (RF). As previously indicated the SF is fired in five
minutes, and consists of 10 rounds in each string; TF is
fired in 20 second five round strings; and RF is fired in 10
second five round strings. All scoring is conducted after
ten rounds are fired. The cost for firing in the tournament
is $5.00 for each gun. Cash awards are provided to the top
shooters in each group of five shooters from the ranked
scores. The results of recent Army “L” Target 1800
Tournaments are as follows:
The April Army “L” Target Tournament was fired
April 24th with 18 competitors. Ten fired in the .22 agg
and eight fired in the CF agg. Three shooters in the CF
agg fired the .22. The scores of the top shooters and their
