Range Day Goes Rain or Shine!
A few showers is no problem for Range Day, all the shooting ranges at the Vernon Fish & Game Club are covered. Look for the big yellow sign as you're leaving Lavington heading east then follow the little yellow signs for 4km.

DID YOU KNOW - Canadian Handgun Regulations
Shooting a handgun was a huge draw at our 2023 event so we have tripled the number of handgun stations this year.

It's a misconception that you can carry a handgun in Canada, this couldn't be further from the truth. Handguns can only be used at an approved shooting range and to get the handgun to the range:

1. the handgun is removed from the safe it is stored in
2. a trigger lock is put on the handgun then it's placed in a locked case (and like all fi****ms is must be unloaded when transported)
3. drive directly to the range (and drive directly home after leaving the range)

To try shooting a handgun, rifle or a bow and arrow come out to the Vernon Fish & Game Club range from 10am to 3pm on Saturday June 1.

One of the great reasons for belonging to a club with a shooting range is having backstops behind targets to stop bullets.

The safe and responsible use of fi****ms is one of the cornerstones of the CORE program.

Students are required to follow ACTS – A: Assume it is loaded, C: Control the point of the firearm and always point it in a safe direction, T: Trigger, which you do not touch until you are ready to fire, S: See that it is safe and P.R.O.V.E. that it is safe.

You need a federal fi****ms license to purchase, own, or possess fi****ms or ammunition.

To apply for your Possession and Acquisition License (PAL), you have to take the Canadian Fi****ms Safety Course (CFSC).

Obtain a copy of the CFSC manual in our online store!
