As you may have noticed there are links to the Project Mapleseed ticket page for our June 8th event. It is running from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and we hope to see it sold out. If you have any questions about it please ask here or email the club.
Great to see the first tickets selling! There is still lots of room available!
UPDATE: IT'S A GO! 24 AUGUST 2024
After talking to quite a few of you we have decided to make this a safari/stopping rifle/guide gun shoot. If it's a big nasty lever action for big bears, a bolt for cape buffalo & lions, a single for bison, or a "Nitro Express" or metric double bring it on out! With the cost of ammunition for these we're going to keep the round count down, the plan is 20 rounds at a range of under 100 yards.
If you've never seen one of these large bores being shot come on out and check it out, we have a .505 Gibbs Rimless Nitro Express confirmed as well as a .416 Rigby.
I am gauging interest in having a safari rifle shoot at some point in the summer/fall. Calibres? Divisions? Just bring out anything .375 and bigger and have a fun afternoon of blasting…
I managed to get this still from one of the videos. I knew there was a fireball, but it doesn't look that big when you're firing it!
We've added number ten in the how to shotgun series to the Trapshooting page. This one is on methods of lead. I'm a big fan of this series, it really gives you the basics of shotgunning, and the reasons why you're doing what you're doing.
The Government has recognized that the October 2023 deadline for the "assault-style" firearm buyback program and amnesty was impossible to meet. They have just announced an extension to October 30 2025. Coincidentally enough, just after the next election..

Guns so dangerous they have to be taken from the people they're left with for 5 1/2 years after being banned.
This was an excellent course and the instructor was great. I highly recommend attending one if you're able to.
