Welcome to the Victoria Precision Shooting Association (VPSA). The VPSA promotes the International Shooting Sports Federation (I.S.S.F.) style of one handed .22 cal and centre fire hand gun, .22 cal rifle, and air gun (hand gun and rifle) bulls eye shooting. It is the only organization in the Victoria area to do so. The North Saanich Rod and Gun Club is the current home of our organization.
VPSA holds its practices and competitions on Sunday mornings from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. It also hosts air gun shooting on Wednesday evening. Practices are held three Sundays of each month with a friendly intra-club competition usually on the first Sunday of each month. The only firearms used by the VPSA during the Sunday morning sessions are rim fire, centre fire, and air handguns; and rim fire and air rifles.
The purposes of the VPSA are:
More information about VPSA air gun shooting can be found on the VPSA Air Gun pages under the Programs section. The club has several target air pistols which members and guests may use on Wednesday evenings while deciding to buy their own.
The NSRG Range Schedule Calendar lists the scheduled VPSA shooting dates.
Spectators and prospective members are welcome on Sunday mornings or Wednesday evenings.
Membership
Membership is open to any interested person, including juniors who usually shoot only air gun. The VPSA has a maximum of 40 members. This maximum is required because of the limited space available to VPSA to shoot on Sunday mornings.
There is no initiation fee to join and the annual membership fees are: - $134.00 for NSRG adult members, $67.00 for their spouses/partners and dependent family members - $205.00 for non-NSRG adult members, $102.50 for their spouses/partners and dependent family members
After the application form is reviewed and accepted by the executive, the applicant will be placed on a waiting list if membership is full. Once an opening becomes available, a three month trial membership is offered for 1/4 the applicable annual membership fee ($33.50 or $51.00). During the trial period the applicant may participate in all VPSA events including Sunday morning practice sessions. A minimum of 6 Sunday sessions or Wednesday evening air gun sessions run by VPSA must be attended during the three month period. After three months, full membership is granted following review and approval by the VPSA Executive Committee. The trial fee is applied toward the annual membership fee which is prorated for the remaining year.
The purpose of this trial period is to give a potential member a better opportunity to try out VPSA-style shooting before joining the club, and give the candidate, other VPSA members, and the executive a chance to meet one another. This step is taken because of the limited number of memberships. It gives the executive adequate opportunity to determine the candidate's interest in VPSA-style shooting and suitability for the club. The candidate can also better decide if he/she wants to join the association.
For more information on the waiting list and membership process please contact the membership director at vpsa.membership@gmail.com.
