Email Backlog

Thank you to all members who have already renewed for 2024! Our membership volunteers are busy with family and other obligations at this time of year and we appreciate your patience. If you have sent an email or tried calling, we will respond to you soon we are currently about two weeks behind on email.

Some members have noticed the name “BAM*CLUB DE TENNIS ILE VICTORIA” on credit card statements. This is a problem with our credit card processor, and we have confirmed that your payments are going to our club, sorry for any confusion.

Online Renewal Delay

There has been a delay in sending out email renewals. Invoices should be sent out in the next few days. Please wait until you get an email from the system with the 2024 invoice, you won’t be able to renew until that time. Handgun club members need to add the additional charge each year for access to Range 4. If you mailed in your renewal it will be processed in the new year.

We apologize for any confusion! Thanks.

2024 Membership Now Open

All memberships are now for the 2024 calendar year. Renewal reminders will be sent out soon by the automated system. You can always log in and renew through your account, remember to add Handgun Club if you want to continue using Range 4.

IPSC Canada Nationals

From August 9-12 we welcome more than 400 competitors from across Canada for the premiere handgun match of 2023. IPSC Practical Shooting is dynamic, challenging, and one of the fastest growing shooting sports in the world today. Courses of fire utilize many aspects not found in the more traditional shooting disciplines such as movement by the athlete, moving targets, multiple targets, and the freedom for the competitor to solve the shooting challenges presented in the courses of fire.

IPSC International Website

The match is open to the public August 9-12, shooting takes place form 8am-4pm, and there will be vendors at the main range. If you want to spectate eye and ear protection is required.

More match information can be found here: ipsccanadanationals.com
