WELCOME TO THE SHOOTING SPORTS

THE FUN, THE CHALLENGE, THE TRADITION

Whether youth, adult, or senior, shooting is a lifetime sport. Male or Female, shooting emphasizes "equal opportunity" skills. For able-bodied and disabled alike, shooting sports are accessible. Shooting is a year-round activity.

Target shooting has a safety record unsurpassed by other sports.

As a participant in the recreational shooting sports, you will join millions of other Canadians who, like you, enjoy the thrill and challenge of shooting. The privilege of shooting also carries certain responsibilities, to other participants, as well as to our shared shooting heritage. Safety is one of them, ethical conduct is another. Shooting is among the safest of all sports. However, safety should never be taken for granted when firearms are involved. No trophy, no score, no competition is worth an injury to yourself or others. Safety is your first and foremost responsibility. Today, the shooting sports have more to offer than ever before, from plinking to Olympic competition. Become a good ambassador of shooting. And have fun participating in the shooting sports.
