Hi, I finally got my license in the mail recently, and I've started looking around for a good gun club in BC to join. I live in Richmond, and already know about the Port Coquitlam, Langley and Mission ranges, are there any others around that I may not be aware of? I'm looking for centrefire rifle and handgun ranges, it'd be cool if they also did IPSC, IDPA or somesuch as I'm interested in getting into that. Also newbie-friendliness is also a plus. Anyway thanks if you can point me in the right direction.
 
First of welcome, here are a couple others that maybe worth taking a look at.

Thompson Mountain by pitt lake
Abbotsford Fish & Game
Squamish

Unless you are acting like a tool most if not all ranges are newbie friendly.
 
Theres also clubs like Silvercore that isnt a range but it will allow you to get your ATT for your restricted. It is also much cheaper than the Ranges however you do need to pay drop in fees at whatever range you do chose. So if you plan on going much more than about 10 times a year it is probably more cost effective to just get a membership at one of the ranges mentioned.

$90.00 for a year membership, $10.00 for a guest, you can shoot handgun and rifle up to .50cal (not inluding .50 cal rifle) also have an indoor range for pistol although i dont use the indoor range. great bunch of guys and never crowded. Memberships are available.
 
Check out DVC. It's pistols only, (and .22 LR rifles) but indoor shooting during the winter time is a great thing.

I prefer the PoCo club, but I've also shot at Langley.
 
How busy is the DVC indoor range in POCO. I am tempted to join with my wife but wonder if they have lots of lineups and stuff. I am getting back into guns after many many years away from it and sort of like the idea of an indoor range. Mostly because we wouldn't be limited by the weather and once I get that rpal in the mail in a week or so I want to get a pistol and start shooting. I have also applied for the Squamish range but they don't accept applications between Dec and April, even though I sent mine in November I doubt that it will happen before Spring.
 
I went out there today with the wife to take a look and we are going to join. I asked them if the CFO recognized them as a range as I want to buy my own handgun, the answer was yes. She also told me about skipping to the head of the line. So to buy a restricted do I need to get the range to do anything. I am going to search so don't flame me! LOL
