We are planning a Handgun Workshop on July 5, 2026, provided there is sufficient interest. We are looking for 5 to 10 participants.

If you are interested in attending, please send us a message.

Event Details
Date: July 5, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Cost: $40 for members / $45 for non-members
Location: 25m Bay
Workshop Overview
This approximately 3½ to 4-hour session will be divided into two parts:

Part 1 – Fundamentals and Skill Development
The first portion will focus on:

Safety refresher and range procedures
Proper grip, stance, sight alignment, and trigger control
Dry-fire practice
Live-fire exercises from the low-ready position
Participants can expect to fire approximately 100 rounds on paper targets at distances ranging from 6 to 16 metres. The goal is to build a solid foundation and correct any bad habits that may have developed.

Part 2 – Fun Steel Match
The second portion will be a fun and lightly competitive steel challenge:

Five hanging steel plates
Three timed strings
Approximately 45 rounds required
Participants should bring 100 rounds minimum for the steel portion to allow for misses or reshoots. Steel targets will be engaged at distances between 11 and 16 metres.

The objective is to develop instinctive shooting skills in a safe and enjoyable environment while providing a sense of accomplishment using the club's larger hanging gongs.

Course Format
All shooting will be conducted from the low-ready position:

Loaded firearm with safety engaged
No holster draws
No movement between shooting positions
No magazine changes during timed strings
Participants may transport fi****ms to and from the firing line using a holster, gun rug, or case. Fi****ms will only be unholstered or uncased when the range is declared hot and when instructed. Magazine reloads will take place between strings and will not be under time pressure.

Recommended Participants
This workshop is ideal for:

New handgun owners looking to improve their skills
Members interested in developing handgun marksmanship
Those considering participation in dynamic shooting sports
To ensure individual coaching and attention, participation will be limited to 10 shooters.

Participant Requirements
Participants must:

Have completed the club orientation
Hold a valid RPAL
Bring a legal handgun
Have at least 3 magazines or speed loaders (borrow extras if needed)
Be familiar with the operation of their firearm
Have previously fired a minimum of 50 rounds through their handgun
Equipment and Ammunition
Recommended:

Full-power handgun (minimum 9mm) to maximize training value
200 rounds of ammunition
Eye and hearing protection
Water, snacks, and lunch
Dress for the weather
A short lunch break (approximately 20 minutes) will be taken.

Note to club members if anyone is interested in trying some centerfire PRS, see below. There are a couple of us going down if you’d like to come along, let us know.

The prs style steel match at the St Antoine gun club on Sunday June 14 is a go weather permitting

9am setup
9:30am registration
10:00am start

$20 match fee

60 rounds total, 30 rounds @ 350m positional, 30 rounds @ 650m prone or modified prone

This is our first time hosting a prs match it was highly requested so we are giving it a try

Target sizes are 10”-16” I was hoping to setup bigger ones after talking to mark but we don’t have them and the club can’t spend the money on it until we know there’s interest

We could use some volunteers to ro/spot and extra spotting scopes and tripods if anyone has them

Any feedback or suggestions don’t hesitate to reach out

Please spread the word

Competitors move through staged courses of fire, engaging targets from various positions and distances. It’s designed to be both challenging and fun, whether you’re new or experienced.

To get a feel for the sport, check out this video—filmed at our very own Woodstock Pistol and Rifle Club:
