Arlington Sportsman's Club (ASC) is a private, family-oriented social club for the outdoor sports at 11500 County Road 525 in Mansfield, Texas. The club's website carries a copyright dating from 1955. Shooting is for members; the club's matches are open to the public.
The club's facilities include lighted skeet and trap fields, and shotgun shooters can also use 5 Stand and Sporting Clays. Shotgun fields run on a Clay Card payment system with clay-throwing machines. The club holds monthly matches, and match details are listed on the Calendar tab under Club Match Information. Shooting hours run from sunrise until 15 minutes before sunset, except on the lighted skeet and trap fields, where all shooting stops at 9:00 PM.
Membership comes in three types: 1st Senior, 2nd Senior and Junior. Applicants apply online, upload signed waiver forms, and pay a $25 background check. 1st Senior applicants also need two reference forms signed by current Senior members who know their ability to handle guns safely. Accepted applicants attend a new member orientation on a Saturday morning, held every two months. Orientation covers sign-in, badge photos, a classroom presentation, range tours, a short test and issue of member credentials. Shotgun shooters get an extra 40-45 minute session on the Clay Card system and machine safety.
ASC does not rent or sell firearms, ammunition or components. Tracer, incendiary, high-explosive and armor-piercing ammunition are prohibited, as are .416 Barrett, .50 BMG and similar chamberings. Club meetings are held at 6:30 PM on the third Tuesday of each month. Members, family, friends and visitors are welcome, and the club provides the dinner entree.
The club's stated objectives include promoting youth activities, proper gun handling, conservation of fish and wildlife, and support for the Second Amendment. Families can join together and attend orientation as a family. Visitors without club contacts can meet members at matches or meetings to get reference signatures.
