General & Safety Policy

Safety in the use of firearms - on and off our ranges - is the most important aspect of our club and our sport.  We strictly enforce all aspects of safety at all times at our ranges and at our events.  Please review our range policies.  Please contact our chief range officer with any questions or suggestions regarding safety, or to report any safety or etiquette infraction.

Outdoor Ranges

Description: Our outdoor range facility includes a short and long range.  The Short Range is up to 50 m for .22 rifles and all calibre handguns.  The Long Range is up to 500 m for all rifles (no shotguns).  The range is locked at all times and members require a key for access.  The ranges are reserved at various times for club competitions and matches, and occasionally when rented for firearms training and practice by other groups such as the RCMP, Conservation Officer Service, and private security firms.

Location: Our two outdoor ranges are located just west of Kamloops near the weigh scales on the Trans Canada Hwy (heading west toward the junction of the Coquihalla Hwy and the Hwy to Cache Creek).

Rules: Please review and be familiar with the long range policy and short range policy.

Indoor Range

Description: The indoor range includes a meeting room, foyer for spectators, and 8 shooting positions.  The 20 m shooting distance allows shooters to hone their skills in a clean, heated environment in the winter so there is no practice time required moving to shooting outdoors in the spring/summer. The indoor range is used for handguns, Cowboy Action Shooting, .22 rifle, and airguns.

Location: The indoor range is located in downtown Kamloops in the basement of the building immediately east of the Memorial Arena (753 Lansdowne Street).

Rules: Rules are posted at the indoor range (and here in the near future).

Archery Range

Description: ToBeUpdated

Location: The archery range is next to the outdoor short range.
