New Ontario
Gun Show Dates!
We have just posted the new 2012 Ontario Gun
Show Dates
on our Events Page!
Extended range
dates at the Latvian Club Range!
We have made arrangements with the Latvian Club to extend
our shooting schedule at their facilities this winter! We will
have an additional 3 Saturdays in December (Dec. 3, 10 and 17)
and, weather permitting, perhaps more dates in January.
Please watch here for any last minute updates and schedules,
or alternatively, you may contact the office for updates.
Notice to All
Handgun and Rifle Shooters who
Shoot at the Royal York Range
Please be advised that the Royal York Range will be permanently
closed as of October 1st. 2011. The new owners of the property
have so advised our landlord (West Toronto Revolver Club)
that they have other plans for the existing range space.
We are actively looking at other alternatives for a spot to
shoot mid-week. We of course, still have a range to shoot at all
day Saturday and would encourage you to make full use of this
facility.
We will keep you informed of any new changes. It is regrettable
that such a convenient location as Royal York will be lost to the
shooting fraternity. Those of us that did shoot there could see
the writing on the wall over the last year as the building has
become more and more of an eye sore and a safety hazard.

No Hand-Loading
Changes!
From the October/November '06 Issue of
'Ontario Out of Doors':
Natural Resources Canada (NRC)
announced it will not proceed with changes to hand loading
regulations unless a need is established and consultation occurs.
Under the previous federal Liberal
government, NRC had proposed dramatic changes, such as requiring
hand loading to take place in a building detached from any
residence and reducing the amount of powder a person can store.
After input from several firearms and hunting groups, NRC
announced less drastic changes. Now it's dropped the matter.
"The feds have obviously listened
to the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and other
firearms groups, which told them unnecessary restrictions aren't
needed on what is a safe activity," said the group's
Communications Co-ordinator Robert Pye.
