We had an awesome time with the shooters at the open house. Started with 4 positions, then had to go to 5 positions. By ammo count, we had about 280+ shooters, varying in age from around 6 to over 60. I would like to thank our volunteers: Dave, Tim, J-P, Pieter, Curt and those that [...]

We are looking for more assistance with the .22 Rifle Club. Pieter was just notified he now has to work Monday evenings for the next few months. Had to cancel last Monday as neither Pieter nor I were available. We are also planning a special Monday evening sometime in June. There will be goodies and [...]
A great big thanks to Dave and Linda Dunn. Linda washed all of our shooting matts (they were beyond filthy) and Dave made some more prone wood supports. Also, a big thanks to Peter who ran things when I was off sick. We have purchased some Savage Rascal Target Rifles in left hand. These are [...]
Please note that the 22 Club is cancelled on Monday, March 28th, due to the Easter holiday weekend. Thanks!
It has been an awesome year, with many families bringing out three to four youth to join in our Monday evening shoots. We have been joined by many community youth groups throughout the year, either working towards badges or just part of their program. Our largest attendance was from a local church youth group where [...]
We have a preliminary budget approval for purchases of additional 22 left handed rifles that can be used by the 22 Club. However, after contacting many suppliers and doing research in depth, YUCK! Talking with Peter at Rusty Woods in Mission, if we re-sight a rifle that is not made to accept peep sights, it [...]
The .22 Club would like to request budgetary funding for the purchase of four .22 caliber left landed target rifles for next year. These would be used by both right and left handed shooters, who have a dominant left eye. It appears from internet searches that we will have to buy the rifles, then have [...]
In November, we had the Aboriginal Sport, Recreation and Physical Activities Partners Council join us for a Monday evening shoot. This group joins us at least once a year, and will be again with us this month. We had 13 attendees from their group. The .22 Club would like to request budgetary funding for the [...]
Church, youth, and school groups are now coming out to join us. We had the Outdoor Club from Abbotsford Christian School with us last week, with 14 shooters. Bob from the Pistol Club joined us, and we had the opportunity to let the youth try both handguns and rifles. Had an opportunity to bring some [...]
Summer is over and we are into October. Did some thinking back about where are .22 shooters come from, and the results are interesting: Langley, Richmond, and North Vancouver (even Abbotsford?) Some are Military, and others Police, taking their children shooting Some are retired, bringing their grandchildren, others are complete families Ages range from about [...]
Summer is surprising active for .22 Rifle Club, as weather does not to be a factor. If you are a new shooter, we ask you come 10-15 minutes earlier so we can review safety, etc. with you. We start at 7:00 PM sharp each Monday, except for holiday Mondays, which is a day off. We [...]
