Project Mapleseed is an apolitical rifle marksmanship training program that focuses on teaching traditional rifle marksmanship from standing, sitting/kneeling, and prone positions in a one day shooting clinic termed a "Mapleseed". We are a non-profit, all volunteer run organization commited to helping Canadians develop fundamental marksmanship skills and in the safe handling of firearms. Why should I participate? Project Mapleseed is challenging, educational, engaging and fun! We want to share our proud history and build a solid foundation for growth.

Thursday Evening Shooting Range #5A Trial Darkness arrives early now and for those of you who want to participate in evening shooting we have an option this fall. Range #1 is closed due to Covid requirements so this year we are running a trial with shooting on Range 5A from 6:30 to 8:30 on Thursday evenings. Lights have been installed and we are able to shoot from the bench. Firearms permitted are: Handguns22 RF riflesPCC... Thursday starting at 6:30 a Range Officer will be in attendance to run the generator and control the range. If there are no shooters by 7:15 the range will be closed for the remainder of the night. This is a 4-week trial to determine if there is sufficient interest to continue into the rest of winter. Space for 10 shooters socially spaced. A flashlight is handy. It is daylight around the bench. Targets easily seen. Parking lot lit too. LED’s at work! See more

Brian is Booking for October. Excellent Covid protocols to keep you safe. Please spread the word and get more people into firearms.

Looking for something to do to get your volunteer hours in..here are some ideas. 1. range 5A has thousands of spent 22 cases all over the ground in front of bench, beside bench that need picking up 2. same for 5B ... 3. rake the down range ground on 5B 4. sweep the concrete behind the bench on all ranges 5. trim weeds that you see over growing down range 6. if garbage is full empty in bin by the garage Thanks for help. Please check back for more ideas of thing that need to be done.

FYI when you notice the PPC area on Range 5A is clean, raked and weed free Please thank Fitz and Kevin who were out early this morning completed it all. Also Dusko was busy repairing target frames in the shed. There are usually many maintenance jobs to be done if you are worried about not getting your 8 volunteer hours in this year.

Here is what you missed at Crumlin this weekend. Project Mapleseed will be back in 2021. Get your 22LR rifles ready!

Responsible gun owners are paying the price for criminal activity. Sweeping bans in rushed laws are punishing them for the actions of law-breakers. Sign the petition to support them!

CCFR update, please watch.

Here is why we all should support the CCFR. https://mailchi.mp//heres-what-you-need-to-know-from-the-p
