North Peace Rod and Gun Club

Volunteers Rick Ekkel and Chuck Mercanti brought their expertise in firearms safety training and shooting to the gun club on Sunday afternoon after a request from a women’s group for some training. Rick and Chuck, also directors of the club, spent several hours with the women taking them through basic firearms safety and then down to the indoor range for some .22 rifle and handgun shooting.

There will be a Black Badge course at the Dawson Creek range on July 14 and 15, 2012.

The Black Badge course contains both a Theoretical and Practical component. Students should expect to spend up to 8 hours in a classroom environment. Here, they will learn the safety procedures involved when moving with a firearm, reloading under time pressure and drawing from a holster. They will learn the rules of the game and practice all of these under cold conditions (unloaded firearms and magazines) before proceeding with the Practical part of the course.
