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.

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.

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 [...]
