IMPORTANT NOTICE
Fellow BCRA Members,
As you are well aware, the COVID 19 pandemic has affected many facets of our day-to-day lives including our ability to participate in recreational shooting activities. Since the start of the pandemic, there has been no civilian access to military ranges and that remains the situation for the next while. Access to private ranges is limited, and in many instances, only to members for personal shooting, and for limited durations. Given the current situation, the BCRA will honour current memberships to the end of 2021.
At the 2020 BCRA Annual General Meeting, by membership vote, the BCRA changed status with the DCRA from being conjoint to becoming an affiliate of the DCRA. In doing so, BCRA membership fees are reduced; however, members will still be required to have a current DCRA membership to shoot on military ranges. The DCRA is in the process of simplifying their membership structure and it is understood that membership will include discounts with a number shooting vendors across Canada. The structure and details are in the process of being finalized and it is expected that details will be posted on the DCRA website following approval at their AGM which is upcoming in the next few weeks. Several members of the BCRA executive are exploring shooting opportunities for the upcoming season; however, these opportunities will need to align with current provincial health orders. When details become available, they will be posted to the BCRA website and distributed by email to the membership.
We thank-you for your patience and stay well.
President

May 1st - New Firearms Regulations
By now you probably have all heard about the new firearms regulations that have been brought into effect by the Federal Government. I am not here to comment on the regulations but rather to inform our members on how the BCRA is responding to these regulations. As a Provincial Association we are working with the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association in a consolidated response, as this affects all shooting disciplines from coast to coast. I have attached the latest Bulletin from the DCRA as well as a PDF of the regulations. As things evolve I will try to keep you all informed. Remember that these regulations affect us all regardless of the discipline we have chosen to pursue.Peter Dobell
