Winnipeg Revolver and Pistol Association
Our gun club is located on the outskirts north of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Five kilometers north of the Perimeter highway on McPhillips Highway, 1201 Miller Road (see map link).
Indoor/Outdoor shooting all year round. We have a 20 yard indoor range for handgun and .22 rimfire rifle shooting. The indoor range has 18 shooting positions.
We have five outdoor ranges. One 25yard/50yard pistol range. One four position turning target International Rapid Fire pistol range (only one in Manitoba). One 50 meter small bore rifle range. One baffled 100 yard full bore rifle range. A shotgun range with a nice and slow thrower for higher scores. All outdoor ranges, except the shotgun range, have covered firing points. For a birds eye view look at an aerial shot of our gun ranges.
The Rapid Fire range also doubles as our steel plate range with both
falling plates and spring supported non-falling plates. Shooting paper
targets is satisfying but shooting steel is fun.
If you require the Canadian Firearms Safety Course or the Canadian Restricted Firearm Safety Course check out our Courses link.
Off and on Barry runs a Cowboy Action course. Pictures from one of the sessions. Have a look at some pictures from last year.
Our cowboy action shooting program is going strong. If you are visiting Winnipeg, and are in when we have a match, you are welcome to come down. Spectators are welcome.

Off and on we put on a Black Powder match. Interesting shooting and a lot of fun. A variety of different guns.
If you want to see what a black powder match is about check out the pictures
on the Black Powder
Muzzle Loading Primitive shooting event page. Rules: Any Muzzle Loading
Rifle any sights. Note this is a primitive shoot and the norm is iron sights
and round ball. Mid range loads is all that’s needed, as most targets are
at close range. Make sure you are sighted in for close targets. Aside from
hard safety rules our number one rule is to come and have fun.
If you are looking to sell a handgun then take a look at a gun photography
for dummies page I made. More about how to get pleasing lighting for
the gun photo with next to no cost rather that a camera course. If you
can take a better picture of your handgun then you will have an easier
time to sell it as the buyers will feel more comfortable about what
they will get. Very important if you are dealing over the internet.
