UPDATE: As of September 27th, 2023, the steel ammo ban has been lifted.
Effective immediately steel cased and steel bullet ammunition is banned for use on all ranges.
With the fire risk being so high, sparks could easily start a fire.
If your ammo sticks to a magnet, either the case or bullet DO NOT USE AT AFGC until further notice.
Thank you for your cooperation.

President Abbotsford Fish and Game Club
Is this still in effect ? as of Sept 6 2023
Given that we just had a grass fire nearby that almost made it up the mountain, caused by sparks from a lawn mower, we aren’t willing to risk the club or the mountain until we’ve had a long series of wet weather. The hillside is still incredibly dry, even after the recent rainfall.
The Board will be revisiting this in October if the fire ban has been lifted.
