WRPC and member news.
There are three Thursday evenings remaining in September for the public to access the outdoor range with the final evening being Thursday September 26th, 2013. Two Range Safety Officers are on duty at these times to ensure compliance with range rules.
While the range is generally open between 7 pm and 9 pm on Thursday evening, an earlier closure is possible as we lose available daylight at this time of year.
Public Access to the outdoor range will start again in May 2014.
On Monday July 15/13 and Tuesday July 16/13, The Cadets will have use of the full range from 8 am-6 pm both days for training activities. The Whitehorse Rifle and Pistol Club will be closed to general access by members and user groups during these time. Members are welcome to come up after 6 pm for the regular schedule of activities.
Monday – Yukon Fish & Game Association Youth Outdoor Education Camp – 8:00 am to 3:00 pm- Entire range closed to other access during this time.
Monday – 500 Meter Bench Rest Shoot on the Bench Rest Centre Fire Range – start 7:00 pm

Saturday & Sunday – Registered Trap Shoot – No centre fire use at Bench Rest range while trap range is active
Regular evening events include Trap on Tuesday, Silhouette Rifle on Wednesday and Public Access on Thursday.
On Monday July 8, 2013 the Yukon Fish and Game Association will have exclusive use of the entire range for their Outdoor Education Youth Camp where a variety of shooting activities will be conducted.
This means that general access to the range by members or user groups is not permitted between 08:00 am and 3:00 pm while these young individuals are on site. This is to ensure a safe environment for them to learn.
Members may access the range after 3:00 pm.
The Military Shoot for June 30th will be rescheduled for a later time.
Stay tuned to the web calendar for updates.
Enjoy your Canada Day Long weekend.
