Check out the EVENTS tab to see the 2025 calendar.
Technical challenges (glitches!) have required the creation of a new format for viewing scheduled activities at the range. Hopefully this will be a temporary measure. You will need to check in regularly to see any additions or changes to the calendar.
Thank you for your patience while this gets sorted out.
Unless you have been living under a rock you will be aware of the most recent December 5, 2024 amendment of the Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and Other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited or Restricted (commonly referred to as the “Classification Regulations”) by the Federal Government of Canada.

Saturday May 4th, 2024 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM is Range Clean up Day. There will be a Cease Fire on the entire range from 09:30 AM to about 2:30 PM. This is to make sure the downrange area is clear for shooting.
Check in at the main clubhouse when you arrive to see what tasks need to be accomplished. Don’t forget to sign in as well.
Clean up will include the usual garbage pick up of all that stuff that you left behind over the winter, like paper targets, spent cartridges, and other debris. There may be some other special tidy up activities to be tackled as well like some brush clearing, target painting, window washing. There is always some job that needs doing.
Wear sturdy footwear and work gloves. And dress for the weather – wind, rain, snow, mud, mosquitoes, sun.
