    Yup, and a significant number of people really don't care because all they want is to have the range to themselves for them and their buddies(with your membership dues to help finance it). The less members the better for them!

    They'll gladly take your $$$$, but if you're not well known/popular, they'r rather not have you taking up range space!

    Not to drag politics into the picture, but the fewer we are, the quicker our gun ownership rights will erode.

    I've been a member of PoCo for a few years, and if you get your RUC, it's not too bad. It does feel like a busy golf driving range most of the time on Range#7.

    The mother of all Stinkeyes....Wendy.....likes it when we do dumb, inconsiderate & ignorant things to each other that diminishes our fraternity of Canadian gun owners & shooters.

    The smaller political lobby we represent the easier it makes her job of convincing the reigning politicians to throw us under the bus.

    THE STINKEYES ARE UPON YOU

    A far better solution than capping memberships!

    Ignore the old fudds! They are everywhere in this sport/hobby. Everywhere from at the club to the stores where we spend even more of our hard earned dollars. The fun of the sport outweighs the horrible attitude that too many of the old members have.

    Every club I've ever joined has always had that one old dude that never shoots but always shows up every range day to dole out his grumpy information to all within ear shot...accurate or not.

    Thicken your skin and turn the tables on them, you are there to have fun...don't let the stink eye get to ya.

    Langley Rod and gun is hosting their anual family days in a few weeks...

    I will add some details to the events page in a few days..

    It would be my hope that this event may be able to warm up a few of the frosty impressions


    Langley Rod and gun club primarly caters to trap and sheet shooters, though they do have indoor pistol and .22 nights weekly, and yes, that old guy at the desk is possibly not the best candidate...
