Places to shoot in/near North Vancouver

[M.L.S.]

Greetings,

I recently got into this this hobby (bought myself a Slavia 631) and am wondering where there is to shoot in or closeby North Vancouver besides one's home. I share an apartment with my dad and can get a 5.5m range going but I'd like to be able to shoot 10m at least.

I checked the bylaws here and found that Bylaw No. 6761 prohibits shooting firearms, bows, and airguns anywhere in the district ; so that counts out any spot easily viewable to the public.

Thank you for any help.

You could try Pacific Shooters Association (PSA). The range is located on Lilooet Road in the Lynn Canyon Park - a couple of kilometers past the North Vancouver Cemetery, right beside the Boy Scout camp. They have ranges from 10 m to 50 m (maybe even to 100 m, I can't remember). They shoot smallbore (cartridge) and air rifle, also pistol (air and cartridge).

Thanks for the reply Mike.

I had a look at PSA and it seems like my best option. I had a chat with one of the gentlemen who deals with membership applications and he said that members had to have a PAL but he could probably work something out for us. I'm waiting for him to call back.

Hi M.L.S.

I shoot at the PSA range. It is a great range, especially for being so close to the city. I highly recommend it and the folks there are very friendly.

If you'd like to try firearms other than airguns sometime, PM me and you can try out some of my other toys.

Good luck,
