May saw the .22 Club hit a huge milestone with two of our athletes competing in their first Provincial Smallbore competition! Not only that, they did incredibly well. Please join me in congratulating Mark Payne and Mattias Henders in their first wins! Mattias took home silver in prone on the first day, while in the [...]
Hello all! The first 3 Position competition has been announced for the Victoria Day Weekend in Parksville! We are going to have two participants from the club attending for their first competition and I can’t wait to see how they like the competition atmosphere! Attendance is starting to wane slightly as the summer approaches, [...]
Hello all! The club continues to get a steady 10-15 shooters each month, with two weekend sessions held for groups outside of the Monday night drop in. I’m still waiting to see the 3-Position competition schedule to be posted this year and will be reaching out to BC Target sports if I don’t see [...]
Well, the club keeps ticking along with a good 10-15 shooters each week. I truly love coming in each week, seeing everyone’s progress and helping where I can. Talking with our friends at Reliable Gun, the complications around .22 ammo looks to be resolved; all we need now is for the trucks to start rolling [...]
Welcome back to the fun all! 2026 is off to a great start with us maintaining our participation levels seen at the end of 2025. The deaf youth that started coming in November have continued into January and I feel that the integration of their accessibility needs into the club has been very successful. [...]
Happy New Year all! December was a short month for the club with the flooding and holiday closure, but I appreciate all of you coming out for the first couple weeks. Stay tuned as we start ramping up in 2026; I’ve got a lot of ideas that I hope can make our club even better [...]
November was an incredible month for the club; not just with our participation remaining high, but with us welcoming our first deaf and hard of hearing youth! If you come to the club, please note that there will be an ASL interpreter participating alongside us in the safety briefings and on the line. If you [...]
Things have settled into a great routine with the number of shooters remaining largely the same each week with between 10-15 shooters. More progression this last month with two more shooters getting their center patch and Beginner bronze chevron, and two more achieving their Beginner Silver! So many folks are putting in the work, [...]
Things have settled into a great routine with the number of shooters remaining largely the same each week with between 10-15 shooters. Skills development is always a driving goal for the club and this last month we had three shooters achieve their Beginner Bronze patches and other achieving their Beginner Silver. A big congratulations [...]
10-15 shooters each week seems to be where we’re landing these days. A full house for sure, with some evenings bringing in enough to need to run two lines. All told, we’re generally wrapping up on time at 8:30-9pm, but please bear that timeline in mind if you are bringing younger shooters with you. We [...]
July again has seen us with a consistent 10-15 shooters each week with a good number of new shooters each week. There is a real possibility that the new normal will be to shoot in two lines, so please understand that the evening will extend a bit later when that is the case. To make [...]
June continued to see 10-15 shooters each evening; I think this is going to be the trend for the foreseeable future and I can’t be happier! As a note to all, as we get more shooters, the likelihood of needing to shoot in two lines increases. We have a good process to accommodate that, [...]
