Please note: The range is closed on holidays. Space is limited, so for larger groups, please book a private group session.

We are open to all ages and encourage kids to come and give it a try. While we don’t have a specific minimum age limit for kids, we need the following:

• They must be accompanied by a parent or guardian
• They must be mature enough to pay attention and follow instructions
• They must be strong enough to hold a .22LR rifle

Wednesday nights are for Members and their guests to shoot their own handguns, as well as .22LR rifles and 9mm PCC. 

Due to a light backstop, we are limited to a max calibre of .45ACP for handguns. No magnums. No 7.62×25, no steel core/jacketed ammunition, etc. If a magnet sticks to it, we cannot use it. (see Range Rules for more info)

Bring everything you need, including ammunition, targets, stapler, eye & ear protection, etc. We do not have handguns to rent, nor ammunition to buy. Bring your firearms license and follow all transport regulations. Newcomers will have some paperwork and waiver to fill out, so come a few minutes early.

We have portable target stands so you can shoot close or the entire 18-metre (20-yard) length of the range. Since we do not have a target retrieval system, we shoot for a period of time, then have a cease-fire to change targets.

​*** Please note that if nobody is here at 8:30 – 8:45 pm, we may close early.  If you are planning on arriving after 8:30 pm, please let us know ahead of time using the “Reservation” email button below.

​Sunday events usually run from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.

Range Rules

• Treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded firearm. Never take another’s word that a firearm isn’t loaded.
• Keep the muzzle pointed down range at all times you are on the firing line.
• Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
• Be certain that the barrel and cylinder are clear of any obstructions.
• Obey all Range Officer’s commands immediately. This is for your safety and others on the firing line.
• All shooters and spectators must wear eye and ear protection.
• Unholstered or uncased firearms must be carried with action open.
• In the event of a misfire, the shooter shall keep the muzzle of the firearm pointed downrange for a period of 60 seconds prior to clearing the firearm.
• Never take a gun from the holster or shooting kit until you have arrived at the assigned position and are facing the target. Shoot only at targets. Do not shoot at other objects.
• Never speak to an individual on the firing line when he/she is in the act of firing.
• Never unload a firearm or snap the trigger behind the firing line.
• Never load more than 10 rounds in any firearm.
• Do not fire until directed to do so by the Range Officer.
• Be certain your guns and ammunition are in a known and proper condition.
• Everyone not firing or coaching must remain behind the red line.
• Anyone being aware of a dangerous situation existing on the range may call “Cease-Fire”.

Range Operation

Club-trained Range Officers run all range activities. It is essential that members and their guests follow the range officer’s instructions for everyone’s safety. Failure to comply with range officer instructions may result in the suspension of your membership.

While the above “posted” range rules mention holsters, our usual evening sessions won’t allow them to be used. Shooters are too close together and the bench right in front of the shooter can cause problems. Holsters will be reserved for special activities only.

Typical range sessions will be run as follows: The range will be operating in two conditions: “Safe” or “Hot”

When a hot range is about to go safe, shooters will make their firearms safe, and keep the action open so each firearm can be inspected to be sure it’s empty before the range is made safe. While not mandatory, chamber flags are appreciated to help speed this process.

Permitted Firearms

Air rifles and air pistols
Long guns: .22S/L/LR and 9mm Pistol Calibre Carbines. No other centerfire carbines.
Handguns: Basic calibres up to .45ACP. No magnums. No 7.62×25, etc. Our backstop isn’t rated for the big cartridges.

Ammunition

We prefer lead-free ammunition since this is an indoor range. Regular ammunition is fine, but consider moving to lead-free for cleaner air. Absolutely no steel ammunition. No steel plate. No steel core. If a magnet sticks to the bullet, leave it for an outdoor range.
