The Dorman Range

This is a fully licensed,well equipped,clay pigeon shooting range, located on Dorman Road in North Qualicum. It attracts people from all across Vancouver Island. Shooters young and old,male and female, at all levels of expertise are welcome. A comfortable clubhouse provides refreshments and lunches and a place to watch all the action on shoot days.

• Two regulation Trap fields.
• One regulation Skeet field.
• Ten station Sporting Clays field.

Prices are $3.50 per round of 25 "birds" and $10 per round of 50 "birds" Sporting Clays. Ammunition is available in the clubhouse. Sporting Clays is becoming increasingly popular on the island with shooter numbers in excess of 90 not uncommon. We get representation from clubs as far away as Gold River and Victoria and on the big weekends the field is full of campers. In addition, we get squads made up of husbands and wives and brothers and sisters, grandfathers and grandsons. It's a family outing on one hand and competitive on the other. Come and see what it's all about.
