Cornwall Handgun Club upcoming events

F-Class is the brain child of the late Canadian riflemen George “Farky” Farquharson, for whom the discipline is named. Farquharson developed the sport in the early 1990s as an outlet for high power shooters, “of a certain age”, who were facing the challenges of diminished eyesight, reflexes, and strength in sling shooting, yet wished to continue competing.

His idea was to use scopes and bipods to shoot at a smaller target than the sling shooters at long range. F-Class has caught on with multiple segments of the shooting community, and it is growing rapidly as a shooting discipline. This shooting style has now advanced to include rimfire shooting where the .22 Long Rifle cartridge is used, hence the name Smallbore F-Class, which simulates the experience of fullbore F-class by using smaller targets and shorter distances (50-100 yards for smallbore vs 300-1000 yards for fullbore) with the apparent bullseye size for 100 yards being the same as the apparent bullseye size for 1000 yards. This competition is also governed by the NRA Smallbore Rifle Rules and shooters are classified.

Classification is assigned after the first shoot based on the individual’s scores. Classifications are designed to have individuals compete for standing and awards against others of similar shooting ability.

What do I need for equipment?

No elaborate equipment is needed for competition and any rifle chambered for .22LR, with a rifle scope and a bipod mounted will work fine. A shooting mat, or substitute, rounds out the basic equipment that’s needed.

If you own a .22LR rimfire rifle, you probably already have all the equipment that you need to start. (Rifles with tubular magazines are prohibited however but bolt action and semi-autos are allowed).

What is the course of fire?

The course of fire is the “Dewar” course of fire and its 20 shots at 50 yards and 20 at 100 yards to form an aggregate

Shooting is done from the prone position. Time limit is 20 minutes per Stage.

Everyone is welcome including ladies and young folks. The focus of these events is to bring new shooters into the sport and introduce club members to the joy of shooting a .22LR calibre rifle in competition as well as provide a practice venue for our existing shooters. Our league (CHC, EOSC, and more) now over 109 classified shooters comprising male and female adults as well as several junior shooters.

Ladies Day R1, R2 & R4 (2026-08-22)

Sat, 22 Aug 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Back by very popular demand, we will be hosting Ladies Range Day at Cornwall Handgun Club again this year. We are excited to announce our upcoming Ladies Range Day will be taking place on August 22nd.

This event is designed for women and children to come out and experience multiple types of firearms and sports shooting activities in a safe, welcoming, and educational environment. Participants will learn about the safe and responsible handling of firearms while enjoying a fun day at the range alongside experienced volunteers and instructors.

Ladies Range Day is open to ladies and children (8-17 years old) with absolutely zero experience around firearms, to seasoned shooters simply looking for a great day at the range. Our goal is to create a positive and approachable introduction to the shooting sports community while promoting safety, education, and responsible firearms ownership.

Tickets are available for attendance and to volunteer.

Registration as a volunteer is to help us track our available staff.

There a Build Day the day before the event (volunteers needed).

If someone registers as an attendee or as a guest, they will be put on our club's mailing list to receive notifications about select future events.

Pre-registration for guests is highly recommended to speed up the intake process and allow us to make sure we have sufficient volunteers and ammunition.

Ammo tickets will be sold on site the day of the event - $5 for 10 rounds of .22LR

CHC Action Mini Rifle Practice (2026-08-27)

Thu, 27 Aug 2026 18:30:00 GMT

CHC has added Action Mini Rifle as a discipline to allow our existing IPSC competitors to expand their repertoire and also allow our members without handguns to train for and enjoy the shooting sport that is IPSC Mini Rifle. IPSC Mini Rifle is similar to shooting IPSC Handgun, but with a .22LR rifle and some of the targets are smaller to approximate long shots.

We have set aside every second Thursday a month in our calendar for Mini Rifle practices. Thursday was chosen so that the Handgun stage that was set up on Wednesday can be used for Mini Rifle - once the smaller Mini Rifle targets are set up - and then when the Mini Rifle practice is finished, the stage can be torn down, thus getting double use out of the labour of setting up the stage.

Mini Rifle rules are here as found on this page.

If you have any questions, please reply to this e-mail or contact the new CHC IPSC Mini Rifle Director, Ray Duchesne.

Please note that a Black Badge is NOT required to practice Action Mini Rifle, but if you don't have a Black Badge (Handgun, Shotgun or Rifle), you will be required to complete an evaluation by an RO, Instructor or the Director before being allowed movement.

CHC ISSF-Style Rimfire Rifle Bullseye Match R3 (2026-08-29)

Sat, 29 Aug 2026 13:30:00 GMT

The event is open to anyone with a rimfire rifle, it can be grandpa's old .22LR, it can be a bolt, semi-auto or lever and everything between - it doesn't need to be a special gun. Divisions are iron sights and optics. You will be limited to one division to start, but if there are available spaces just before match day, you will be permitted to register a second gun in a different division.

Gear up is at 9:30 with first shot at 10 am. The match will last approximately 2-3 hours. There are 5 shooting lanes to cycle shooters through. All shooters will cycle through to shoot one position before moving onto the next position.

There will be 3 positions of shooting (kneeling, prone and standing) with 20 rounds per position, plus sighters prior to the timed groups. The 20 rounds for each position are broken into 4 groups of 5 rounds for each of the 4 scoring bullseyes. The times for each group are 2 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds, and 15 seconds respectively for each of the 4 groups of 5 rounds.

No bipods are permitted for the prone position, shooting is only off the elbows. If someone is mobilitry-impaired, they can shoot the entire match from a seated position.

Round count is thus 60 rounds plus sighters. The match will be approximately as described here minus the final round.

Bring a mat or equivalent to shoot prone as well as your eye and ear protection.

Official targets will be provided, the cost for the match is $5 to cover the 3 official targets per competitor (one for each position)

Range officers and other volunteers are needed, please sign up for a free Volunteer ticket. If you register as a volunteer who works on Match Day, you can sign up to shoot for free on Build Day.

Paid competitors are permitted to shoot on Build Day at regular price if Match Day does not fit their schedule.

Competitor limit is 20.

See you there!

UPDATE - Competing in ISSF-Style Rimfire Bullseye has been clarified by SFC as NOT being part of the path to getting an exemption letter to purchase a handgun. If you intend to pursue an exemption letter, please visit our next Pistol Bullseye Event.

CHC Olympic-Style Rimfire Pistol Bullseye Match R4 (2026-08-29)

Sat, 29 Aug 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Competing in Olympic-Style Rimfire Pistol Bullseye is part of the path to getting an exemption letter to purchase a handgun (Note that we have been advised by the SFC that rifle bullseye experience doesn't count). If you intend to pursue an exemption letter, you need to join the Shooting Federation of Canada here before you start as a new competitor. The steps are here. You will need a minimum of 3 match results at a minimum of 2 clubs total.

The event is open to anyone with a rimfire handgun that can fire a round every 2 seconds - it doesn't have to a match grade pistol - any rimfire revolver or semi-auto will do. Divisions are iron sights and red dot optics. You will be limited to one division to start, but if there are available spaces just before match day, you will be permitted to register a second gun (or second gun configuration) in a different division. Note that we are permitting optics as a concession to using existing guns - if you plan on competing at a different club which is required to get a letter, iron sights, maximum 153mm/6" barrel and maximum 220mm/8.6" sight radius are likely required elsewhere.

If you do not have access to a handgun, you can add a club handgun rental to your ticket for $10.

If you need instructions on how to legally borrow a handgun from another person (not a business or the club), let us know (it's very easy) and then you don't need to rent a handgun.

The course of fire is ISSF 25m standard pistol.

At the start of the match the competitor may fire unlimited sighting shots within 150 seconds.

The 60-shot match is divided into 5-shot strings with different timings:

Stage 1 - 4 strings of 5 rounds each within 150 seconds each string – competitor can begin the series in any fashion he/she chooses.

Stage 2 - 4 strings of 5 rounds each within 20 seconds each string – competitor must begin each string with pistol in one outstretched arm from the 45-degree angle starting position.

Stage 3 - 4 strings of 5 rounds each within 10 seconds each string – competitor must begin each string with pistol in one outstretched arm from the 45-degree angle starting position.

If someone is mobility-impaired, they can shoot the entire match from a seated position.

Official targets will be provided, the cost for the match is $5 to cover the 4 official target centre patches per competitor (one for sighting and one for each Stage)

You can download the centre patch of the target here to practice with, make sure you print it actual size. The full 23"x23" target looks like this

Range officers and other volunteers are needed, please sign up for a free Volunteer ticket. If you register as a volunteer who works on Match Day, you can sign up to shoot for free on Build Day.

Paid competitors are permitted to shoot on Build Day at regular price if Match Day does not fit their schedule.

Competitor limit is 20.

There will be two portions to this course, if needed.

The first session will certify members to carry a holstered, unloaded handgun while changing targets during bullseye style shooting. No ammunition is required for this portion.
The second portion will introduce you to the skills and techniques required to safely use a holster at our club while participating in CHC Club Level action shooting events and practices (not sanctioned events, where a formal accreditation is required).

There is no cost for the course itself.

ELIGIBILITY You must be a CHC member in good standing and have successfully completed the Club’s new member training program. Select the mandatory equipment check ticket for us to verify your training status and equipment. If you are known to the trainers, this likely can be done by e-mail. We will upgrade your ticket after we verify your status.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS:

Carry only Session:
·       Any handgun of any caliber.
·       A belt-mounted hip holster that holds the handgun snugly and covers the trigger
·       If your holster has a retention device, you must be familiar with it. No trigger-finger push button release (i.e. Blackhawk! Serpa) style holsters unless the button is removed.  Thumb operated retention devices are okay (i.e. Safariland ALS, thumbreak straps)
·       No flap holsters, drop leg/thigh holsters, shoulder holsters, chest rigs or cross-draw holsters.
·       Your holster must permit you to draw and holster your handgun using only your shooting hand.
·       NO AMMUNITION is required for this session, which will take about an hour.
Full Session:
·       A centerfire (9mm or larger) semi-auto pistol or revolver that you are familiar with and can shoot accurately.  No .22LR caliber firearms.
·       3 or more magazines for your pistol, or speed loaders if using a revolver
·       100 (minimum) to 200 rounds of reliable ammunition.
·       A belt-mounted hip holster that holds the handgun snugly and covers the trigger
·       If your holster has a retention device, you must be familiar with it. No trigger-finger push button release (i.e. Blackhawk! Serpa) style holsters unless the button is removed.  Thumb operated retention devices are okay (i.e. Safariland ALS, thumbreak straps)
·       No flap holsters, drop leg/thigh holsters, shoulder holsters, chest rigs or cross-draw holsters.
·       Your holster must permit you to draw and holster your handgun using only your shooting hand.
·       Belt mounted magazine pouches for 2 or more spare magazines/speed loaders
·       Please bring equipment you are sure is reliable and you are familiar with. The course will begin with an equipment check.  We reserve the right to refuse to train you with what we consider to be unsafe equipment.
·       Eye and ear protection are mandatory and a hat/ballcap is recommended.

MANDATORY Equipment and Training Pre-check: If you are unsure if your equipment is suitable, at least one Safety Instructor will be available at the Club IPSC or Steel Practices as per the calendar, or any other day by appointment, prior to the course, between 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM to inspect and give tips and advice. You must advise them in advance if you need an equipment check by selecting an equipment check ticket from this event or registering for a practice here or by making an appointment with an instructor here. As noted above, if you are known to the instructors, this can likely be done by e-mail.

Rentals: As some members are unable to acquire a handgun, but are eligible to borrow a handgun, Arcane Defense will be supporting this holster course with equipment rentals. Cost would be $40 for the day. Please contact Eric Bouffard of Arcane Defense to arrange a rental. Ammunition will also be available. Please contact Eric to arrange to purchase ammunition

If you meet the eligibility requirements, please register in this event.
