2025 Weekly PISTOL Shooting Night (May – September)

Weekly Wednesday Pistol Practice – Join Us!

We understand these are challenging times for the shooting community, particularly for pistol enthusiasts. The inability for trained and licensed sport shooters to acquire handguns in Canada is, frankly, a real misfire. But we’re not letting that stop us from coming together to practice, learn, and enjoy the sport we love.

Every Wednesday from 4 PM until dusk, we’ll be meeting at the range, and we’d love for you to join us—whether you’re a seasoned shooter or someone new to the sport. Don’t have a handgun? No problem! Interested shooters without one are more than welcome.

Here’s what’s on the agenda:
– Have fun (because why else are we here?)
– Sharpen our skills (practice makes perfect—or at least closer to the bullseye)
– Friendly competitions (bragging rights included)
– Introduce new shooters to safe and proper handgun use

No registration. No fees. Just show up! If you’re new to handguns or haven’t dusted yours off in a while, let me know—we’ll bring an extra handgun, set up a training program so you can get (back) into the swing of things.

As always, safety is our top priority. Standard range rules apply, and range officers will be on-site to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

So don’t miss out! This is your chance to have a blast (pun intended) 😁

Best regards,

Terry Eldridge
Pistol Section Coordinator
