*Next event: Sunday 30 November: Combat pistol/revolver. *For video clips go to the Links 'n Stuff page *Click here for an important wrong cartridge warning. *Please check the Upcoming Events page before coming out to a shoot so you're not disapointed. *Due to popular demand, we added a page with a past history of club shoots with their courses of fire along with results where available. Its still a work in progress.
(The club has recently secured a facility near Milford that we have turned into a 30 yard indoor pistol/.22 rifle range. Most of the work has been completed and we are now just awaiting approval and certification. Unfortunately this is quite a slow process but we hope to have it up and running by early fall of 08.)
We regret we have some problems with the photo album regarding enlarging the pictures, we occasionally have a glitch in the server's system and we have been trying to fix it, please bear with us.
Safe shooting

Welcome to our site. We are located approximately 1.2 hours North East of the Halifax-Dartmouth area. Our facilities are well suited to many disciplines of recreational shooting. We are a non profit club with about 250 members, including families. We rely on member participation in order to provide the best environment for safe and fun shooting at a reasonable cost.
This is an outdoor range with 3 sheltered firing positions for distances from 20 to 200 yards. We have outdoor firing positions that allow up to 300 yards. We have several other outdoor ranges for combat pistol, moving, turning, and pop-up targets. There is also a fire and movement through the woods course, and we are working on another. There are several shotgun trap and firing positions as well. There is usually a club shoot every 2nd Sunday through the summer and every 3rd in winter. These are friendly competitions and there may be a nominal fee to cover costs for clays and prizes. 12 and 20 gauge ammo is available at cost and club firearms are usually also available for certain shoots, or you can always borrow one. For specialty shoots like muzzle loader, firearms and ammo will be available since they are quite specialized.
The range is open to all active members and their guests during daylight hours. Club shoots do take precedence over members wanting to do their own thing though. We do require a $2 insurance charge for non-members which goes into the "honesty box". This is provided through the NFA Liability Insurance Program, (AllSport Insurance Marketing Ltd.). Youths under 18, guests, and non members do have to be supervised by an active member at all times.
Training is available for all disciplines of shooting by way of our memberships' extensive and varied experience. Certification courses for licensing are available through the club and and instruction is provided by our government approved instructors at a reasonable cost.
We have embarked an some ambitious upgrades recently which include a combat pistol range by the clay tower, adding a new bi-directional range between the 30 yard and 100 yard berm. As well, the 25yard .22 pistol range has been upgraded for use for .22 rimfire rifle and centrefire pistol. We hope to soon have approval to use all ranges simultaneously.
As I mentioned before, we rely on the membership to help maintain and upgrade the facilities and have work parties on occasion. In addition to elbow grease and goon spoons, many members also donate the use of equipment such as chainsaws, generators, power tools, logsplitters, back hoes, and even transport trucks and excavators. We owe a great deal of gratitude. This is your club and lets keep it the best in Nova Scotia.
