Members have access to the Club facilities throughout the year. In winter, the road may not be immediately cleared and you may have to walk over the unplowed road. Because of high winter use, the Executive has had the road plowed but it still may have drifted in after it was plowed. The road and parking areas can be quite slippery depending on weather conditions. Moreover, club locks have a tendency to freeze up due to our damp winters. A BBQ lighter or hand warmer generally will thaw the lock sufficient to open it. Please check the announcements page on the website for up to date road information particularly after a storm.
No, you must provide your own.
Shooters and non-shooters at the ranges must provide and wear ballistic rated safety glasses and ear protection.
Definitely. A list of rules is provided on the website under “Range Rules and Regulations”. All members must read and follow these instructions at all times. Infractions will be reviewed by the executive.
Just one, our membership coordinator to complete processing and printing of our membership cards. The club is volunteer based to keep our rates amongst the lowest in Canada. All of the basic maintenance work on club Ranges, Buildings and Grounds is done by volunteers.
If you wish to volunteer please email the club or contact one of the committee chairs.
Every little bit helps a lot. In particular rebuilding damaged target stands on Ranges A&B is vital and time consuming. Supplies are located behind the 50 & 100 yard berms, and hand tools /supplies are located in the Longbranch to rebuild the target stands and attach coroplast. To speed up the process you could bring your own power drill. Also there are garbage bags stored in the Longbranch so if you see the garbage bins full, please empty, replace the bag with a new one, and place the full bag in the silver garbage bin behind the parking lot.
If you would like to become further involved, please contact the executive and/or the club committee chairperson for which you would like to help. Your assistance would be most welcome!

That means if you bring more than one guest, only one guest may shoot at a time. If you are shooting, none of your guests may shoot. Individuals may make three (3) trips to the club as a guest, after that they need to apply for club membership. ALL guests must sign into the guest register before shooting activities begin and deposit $5.00 daily fee into the box located next to the sign in register for liability insurance fee.
