Hunting & Shooting · British Columbia
A long-running gun club near Mill Bay on Vancouver Island, with multi-purpose bays and a 240 m rifle range, known for welcoming members and beginner-friendly open houses.
The Victoria Fish & Game Protective Association runs a shooting range in the Mill Bay/Malahat area and has a strong rating from members and visitors. Several reviewers call it one of the best clubs they've belonged to and feel lucky to have it on the Island.
Members describe a welcoming, well-run club. One reviewer who came with a stepson after completing PAL courses said everyone helped them get comfortable with what the club offers. Visitors from mainland clubs attending friendly competitions were also impressed.
Facilities mentioned include multi-purpose bays and a rifle range of about 240 m, which one member found a little short but fine. The club holds events such as a Father's Day open house, where volunteers let beginners try shooting safely with their own firearms.
One older review complained about unsolicited advice from other shooters at the rifle range. On the practical side, a recent visitor pointed out there's no left turn back toward Victoria when leaving, so plan your route.
