Some of the CRGC’s Executive Directors sell memberships. You can pay for a membership from these people with cash or cheque. During the year the CRGC does experience sporadic winter weather that can close the road inside the range gates. While every effort is made to keep the road open from dawn to dusk 24/7/365, road closures do happen during the winter months. The CRGC encourages the membership to bring guests to the range to learn about and experience firearms use in a safe controlled manner. A Guest is defined as someone that is not a member of the CRGC. Guest privileges are limited to 3 visits per year. If a Guest comes to the range more than 3 times a year with a current member they will be expected to pay for a full annual membership. All members must attend the Range Orientation in order to obtain keys.

Range Orientation The Orientation Course is still cancelled. The CRGC Exec is planning for a resumption of the course. The Campbell River Gun Club has a Mandatory Range Orientation. This orientation is required for anyone that has joined the Club and wants to obtain keys to go shooting at the outdoor ranges.... It is a one-time event for everyone regardless of experience or number of years at the range. If you have not attended an orientation, you do not qualify for range keys. The Range Orientation is available for free at the Indoor Gun Range. Course dates/times can be cancelled unexpectedly, please do a last-minute check of the course date & time before travelling to the Indoor Range for the course. The Orientation takes approximately 2 hrs and is offered on a first-come first-served basis. Please watch this page for updates. Directions to the range can be found here. Note: Members can still purchase their membership. You will not qualify for keys to the outdoor ranges until you have taken the Orientation. This is an important note for anyone with a Restricted Firearm.

Orientation dates have filled up fast, July’s dates are full but new ones will be posted soon. Have a great day .

FYI for the members. Last month the Executive received a request to donate to one of the groups going after the government for their OIC gun grab. They had also been asked to sign on to a letter being circulated by the gun ranges. This letter opposed the gun ban and the OIC. The CRGC has donated to the CCFR as they were in BC and they have agreed and signed onto the Gun Range letter being circulated.... Both are solid moves to support the issues going on in Canada.

The next orientation course will be 7:00pm Sunday June 28th at the indoor range on Quinsam rd. Due to Covid 19 social distancing guidelines the upcoming courses will be restricted to 10 participants. To register you can email [email protected] to get your name on the list. Further dates for other courses will be announced at a later date .
