Gun Range
After lengthy investigation, the board of the LdB Wildlife Association has decided that the best option for a gun range is membership at Seven Sisters Wildlife Association Gun Range. The range is already in place, fully functional & immediately available. The facility features a rifle range with target stands from 50 ft to 500 meters, an insulated building c/w wood stove (bring your own wood) with 2 bays to shoot out of & another four shooting benches outside. It also has a separate pistol range with a 3 bay shelter, a permanent, sheltered trap/skeet thrower and a single archery lane.
The SS Wildlife Association will sell "Gun Range" only membership to our club members for $35 single & $40 for a family per year, exactly the same rates as their members pay. We will not have to buy associate membership into their Wildlife Association. Gun Range memberships are available at Tirschman Esso in Seven Sisters. You must present a valid LdB WA plastic membership card for proof of insurance with the Manitoba Wildlife Federation. They will attach an identifier strip to the card showing Gun Range membership. To attend the Gun Range, a key has to be picked up at & returned to Tirschman Esso every visit. This is to ensure control of range use & is the same procedure all members follow. You must register in a log book located at the range but you can just use your membership number instead of your name for privacy. You will be allowed to bring limited guests to the range as long as your guest has proof of membership with MWF & therefore has insurance coverage. You must advise Gary Tirschman of your guests when you pick up your key. Gary is in charge of the range & can be reached at 348-2583 or 348-3773.
The LdB WA holds trap shoots every Wednesday throughout the summer.
Thank you to the Seven Sisters Wildlife Association Inc. for being so accommodating to our club.
