It seems to need to be addressed every 3 or 4 months, and with our light rule set at AFGC, I wished it didn't need to be.  Do NOT touch your guns, or approach benches with guns on them during a cease fire. Doing so is not only unsafe, it is against our rules. [...]

I am pleased to see Range 2 being so busy now that the new lights are up and running, I’ve received a lot of great feedback from members about the lights and how it was a long time coming, but they are all thankful for them being up and working now.  We will hopefully [...]

I am back, finally. I would like to thank all the members of the board for all their hard work this summer and Dave and Linda for their hard work as well. I would especially like to thank Mark Porter for stepping up and running the meetings while I was gone. The significant amount [...]

Hello from Europe! As many of you know I am in Europe for most of the summer competing in matches every weekend, and sometimes midweek as well. So far in 10 weeks I’ve hit 13 major matches and had some practice sessions here and there. I’ve been in 12 different countries, and the ranges have been everything [...]

It seems that summer is already here with some very warm, if not hot, days hitting us already. This will likely mean more people out at the club enjoying the ranges which means it’ s a good time to review some range etiquette. First off, when you get to the range, please sign in, [...]

The AGM for 2016 has come and gone, I would like to thank everyone who came out to the meeting on Thursday, numbers were down a bit from last year, there were 79 in attendance, which I hope means people are happy with how the club is being run. If you do have any questions or [...]

Please note there has been a correction made to the President's Report in regards to the Board of Directors positions. It should read that a member must be in good standing with the Club for a minimum of five (5) years to apply for a BOD Position. Sorry for any confusion. Thanks! [...]

We’ve had a pretty easy winter at AFGC this year with the exception of the big windstorm, with mostly mild temperatures and some rain, which means we’ve had lots of members out using the ranges. With that comes a small increase in complaints about range etiquette. The most common complaint has been about people [...]

Tis almost that time of the year, for whatever celebration you celebrate, so pick one, and Happy whatever! Our expansion on Range 2 has been taking far too long, but we are getting there. Target stands are now installed at the 100yd and 100m lines. Most shooting bays have a stand at each distance, [...]

Welcome to fall! Summer finally let go it’s strangle hold and we’ve had some amazing weather down at the range, some good wind storms, fallen trees, and lots of rain. Typical BC, probably be sunny and warm in January.... As many have noticed the range 2 expansion hasn’t really broken ground yet, beyond the [...]

This summer has been a great one at the range, with probably the best conditions for shooting that we’ve ever had, up until this week. I’d like to thank the members who were onsite when the fire started on Range 2 and for their quick actions in dealing with it. Sadly, things have not been so great [...]

August is here and with it a continuing heat wave. Please be extra careful of what you are shooting, a spark could easily start another grass fire on range 2 in this heat. As some of you will have noticed we have new benches on the line courtesy of Hardy Staub and his helpers. [...]
