Sagittarius had a meeting the first of the month discussing the future of our archery club. We've decided to cancel our Indoor 3D shoot in January. This is very disheartening to say the least. This typically is the largest indoor archery venue in BC. Due to covid and the flood last year our membership and volunteers has [...]
It seems that interest in coming out to practice for IPSC now that the match season is over has waned quite a bit. I need at least 6 people to show up to make it worthwhile and to help with setup and teardown. Unfortunately, this just hasn’t been happening since after Labour Day. Maybe [...]
Good morning BODs! Please find this month ATS report below: Four shooters on the line. All three platforms were used. Started our day with the accuracy practice, slowly shifted to the positional shooting, transitioned to the movements and finished the day with "Breaking Contact" and "Aussie Peel" drills. Overall, a great day on the range! [...]

November 13th Archery will be having a work bee and meeting discussing the upcoming 3d indoor shoot in January. Shoot Straight Mark [...]
On Monday October 17th, we held our usual Monday night practice session. We had a full turnout and worked on movement. Learned that a few of our spinning props require tear down and lubrication post flood as they were not happy. That was our last practice for the season. Look for announcements next year as [...]
October only had a single event as our last would have fallen on Halloween, however we had a great turnout at our event. We would like to thank one of our awesome members, Rob for bringing his stumpy steel target “Lt. Dan” to our last event as we had a ton of fun with it. [...]
The PPC Sub Club held our October monthly match on October 2nd with 12 shooters attending. It was the last chance to get a practice in before attending the Vancouver Island Championships on Thanksgiving weekend. We had one of our old shooters return to the game and travelled down from Kelowna to attend and he [...]
New trap arrived, but damaged in transit. Nathan Gole has contacted shipper, replacement part ordered. Nathan has contacted Lowry to order targets, Caldwell not in business any longer. Nathan Gole, Greg Wesselius and Ron Edward held workbee to get trap into house. Their membership will be credited for the year. Nathan is getting electricians to [...]
Since returning back to classes our numbers at events have remained high, and the weather has been making it easy to justify using our clay thrower. The FVRRC would like to thank the AFGC Trap club for the donation of a large number of clay pigeons which will certainly keep us stocked up for a [...]
Multigun held another sold out practice night in September. A mix of new and experienced shooters learned some movement and how to put their own stage plan together. This months practice night is Monday October 17th on range 4 from 6-10pm like always. With the awesome weather we are having, come on out and have [...]
Amazing news for the cadet world: biathlon just got switched back to involve real rifles and skiing! For the first time in years we will be able to shoot our 22s and wax our skis. We hope to resume shooting on Thursday nights in November if the club is willing to have us back after [...]
We've decided to mix things up a bit for this month's ATS practice and introduced an "Obstacle" course!The practice combined many drills we were practicing in the past but this time we had to roll, crawl, use unorthodox prone, all while reloading on the move and switching between all three platforms while saving a "hostage" at the end of the [...]
