The
Centrefire Rifle
section of the CRGC enjoys shooting on two
separate rifle ranges at distances of up to
200m and 600 yards. Both ranges are closed in
on three sides, have warm-up rooms and wood
stoves. There are over 10 benches on each
range. On the 600yd range there are
electrical outlets beside every bench for
shooters to plug in electric heaters for those
hardy people who like shooting in the
winter..
On the 200m and 600yd ranges there are many
different competitions being held through out
the year. Shooters that want to try
competition in different forms can take part
in monthly competitions at the Club or join
the Vancouver Island Shooting League which
holds regular competitions at a number of
clubs around the Island. See the events page
for dates.
Different kinds of rifle shooting activities
take place on the Club’s two rifle ranges.
From benchrest shooting (long and short
range), reloaders checking different loads,
hunters sighting in their rifles to parents
teaching their children the enjoyment of
shooting.
DCRA
shooters may also be seen on the range and a
number of our shooters regularly take part in
the Military style, long range shooting.
Equipment is available if you would like to give
this sport a try.
