With the lack of a snow build up and "good" weather so far, we have been able to get a jump start on range maintenance and repairs. 

Range B - backstops tamped down at 50 and 100m. New target stand built at 200 yds. Extension to culvert added at 50m. 

Range C - new backstop was built and minor improvement to drainage and range floor.

Range A - large rocks removed from range floor and upgrade made to whole range floor. Clean up of ditches. Repairs to backstop and side berm. 

A, B and C will have hydro-seeding applied to the backstops.

DEF - sporting clays trail and access trails were upgraded in places. Improvement to drainage around the clay shed, and levelling off of the shed. A couple of new covers for the launchers have been added. 

Normal maintenance has or will be carried out by the Trap and Archery groups. 

New sign was added at TCH to replace old one that rusted out and blew down. 

Clubhouse - the furnace is now operating again! There are plans to add eaves and eave trough to the main clubhouse. 

Longbranch - plan to finish off clapboard, fix eaves and re-shingle the roof. 

There are always things that need fixing or re-painting around the club. If you would like to lend a hand, please let anyone on the Board, or Committee Chairs know. 

We would also appreciate it if users would clean up after themselves. Shotgun hulls go in the garbage. Brass can be recycled and goes in the orange buckets (which are NOT for garbage). Targets should be removed from the target stands. No target stands should be left forward of the 25m sign on Range C. There is a large white plastic container across from the Longbranch that should be used to dispose of coroplast and boxes, or large targets. 

Thanks. Stay safe and have fun.

For everyone looking forward to shooting sporting clays this summer we are starting the late afternoon-evening shoots on Wednesday, May 21. We will start shooting around 4 pm but as in previous years participants can arrive anytime they can get off work and make their way out to the club.

Members provide their own ammo (7 1/2 or smaller such as 8 or 9) eye and ear protection. The club will provide targets. Target costs are $18 for a round of 50. We have punch cards for $90 for twelve punches. A round of 50 is two punches. Juniors are half price supported by the club.

Remember to bring cash for target fees and/or punch card purchases as we do not accept electronic payments.

Please note that we are currently looking for help with setup on Wednesday afternoons if anyone is available, even just periodically throughout the summer. If you are able to help out, please let us know. Our events are run by volunteer club members and extra help goes a long way to ensure these events can take place 

We will shoot every Wednesday depending on weather. If there are any changes to the schedule I will post an announcement on the club website and send out an email.

See you there.
Sporting Clays Comm.

Target stands on B (rifle range) are back up, including the 200 yd stand. Please make sure that you do not mount targets so they overlap on the main supports.

Please note that you are not allowed to drive vehicles on Range C, except to put up/take down target stands. NO Parking is allowed on Range C floor.

Sporting Clays Shoot on Saturday, 12 April went ahead as planned. It was a lovely day with many fun targets. For those shooting 100 targets, Dave had high score with 83, Herb and Billy were tied for second with 82, and Jerome had 3rd with 79. Many others had personal bests and all had a great time which is the main objective. Thanks to everyone who helped out.
