THINGS TO REMEMBER
This is your range. If you damage something report it so we can get it repaired. Repairs and replacements take away from funds for Range improvements.
RANGE DAMAGE!!!!
The texas Star on Bay 7 has been damage by either someone shooting it with Magnums or rounds much faster than pistol. To replace that target with one of similar design would be about $1500 canadian plus shipping and duty. At a guess $2200. Many ranges do not leave steel out for this very reason. We do because we know people enjoy it. If we have to keep repairing or replacing steel targets it costs the club money that we can no longer use for other improvements. see pictures below.

What is Project Mapleseed?
Project Mapleseed is an apolitical rifle marksmanship training program that focuses on teaching traditional rifle marksmanship from standing, sitting/kneeling, and prone positions in a one-day shooting clinic termed a "Mapleseed". They are a non-profit, all volunteer run organization committed to helping Canadians develop fundamental marksmanship skills and the safe handling of firearms.
Why should you participate?
Project Mapleseed is challenging, educational, engaging and fun! We want to share our proud history and build a solid foundation for growth. Project Mapleseed’s goal is to introduce current and future firearm enthusiasts to essential safety and marksmanship skills along with sharing the important role of firearms in Canadian history. In sharing this history, they hope to encourage these individuals to help preserve our firearms heritage and freedoms in Canada.
What do you need?
The minimum you need is a .22LR rifle, 400 rounds of ammunition and a teachable attitude. Mapleseed is open to all sight types including scopes. The .22LR semi-automatic, magazine-fed rifles are the most commonly seen for their ease of use during the mandatory magazine changes and low ammo cost. Bring what you have, the shooting fundamentals taught apply to the shooter not their rifle. The goal is to learn and have fun.

Nathan Cullen, Minister of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship, has issued the following statement about proposed amendments to the Land Act:
“Over the past several weeks, I have had the opportunity to discuss proposed amendments to the Land Act with over 650 representatives of stakeholder groups representing tens of thousands of British Columbians, from mining, forestry, oil and gas and clean energy, cattle ranchers, to adventure tourism operators, snowmobilers, hunters and anglers, and many others.
“From the very beginning of this process, I promised that we would listen and take the time to get any changes right. That our focus was to make it easier to work together with First Nations and provide more opportunities for better jobs and a stronger future.
“In conversations with these groups, many were surprised to learn that the claims being made about the proposed legislation by some were not true and that there would be no impacts to tenures, renewals, private properties or access to Crown land.
“Some figures have gone to extremes to knowingly mislead the public about what the proposed legislation would do. They have sought to divide communities and spread hurt and distrust. They wish to cling to an approach that leads only to the division, court battles and uncertainty that have held us back.
“Throughout these conversations, the vast majority have told us they want reconciliation to work and they want to be partners in this work to create opportunity for First Nations, businesses and all communities through working together.
“I’ve also heard that we need to take the time to further engage with people and demonstrate the real benefits of shared decision-making in action. We want to get this right and move forward together.
“For that reason, our government has decided not to proceed with proposed amendments to the Land Act.
“We will continue to engage with people and businesses, and do the work to show how working together, First Nations and non-First Nations, can help bring stability and predictability, and move us all forward.”

The Board of Directors passed a motion in 2010 that requires both EYE and EAR PROTECTION for everyone on the firing line, shooters and spectators. Signs have been posted and executive and board members will be enforcing this policy. The range shooting sheds are equipped with Red safety flags. A RED flag means the range is active and firearms may be handled and discharged or someone is occupying that range for another reason so be aware at ALL TIMES what or who is downrange of the firing line. Please use the flags and be safe. The flags will not make up for a lack of awareness. If a flag is missing please notify the chair for that bay or the Board of Directors.
This is your club and your range. Non members may not use the range except as mentioned above. To help ensure that everyone who uses the range is eligible to do so the Board requires that you have your membership card available for presentation when requested. That is why it is important to keep the temporary ID provided by the top portion of the membership invoice.
