Yukon Shooting Federation AGM

The Yukon Shooting Federation is the governing body for the shooting sports in the Yukon. The objectives of this critical organization are to sponsor  shooting competitions, to assist shooting clubs and organizations ; standardize shooting regulations and practices within the Yukon; and, act as the Territorial body for any form of shooting in which its members may wish to participate.

The Annual General Meeting will be held at NOON Saturday May 30th at the Whitehorse Rifle & Pistol Club on Grey Mountain Road.

Interested in learning how you can be involved in supporting the shooting sports for yourself or your kids? Interested in becoming a shooting coach? Maybe you are up for the challenge of being a member of the Executive or Board of Directors. Come and hear how you can volunteer to be part of the action.

The Yukon Rifle Silhouette Championships will be happening on Saturday and Sunday May 30 & 31 so the rifle range is not available during this time.

Gate Keys

If you are a currently paid up member and missed the AGM, you also missed an opportunity to receive your gate key for 2015. The locks were changed after the meeting.

There is still an opportunity to get your 2014 gate key exchanged for the 2015 version by coming out to the club house on Monday March 23rd or Wednesday March 25th at 7 PM.
