Thunder Bay Benchrest Club Goals
There is a strong member ethic to promote the rifle benchrest portion of the target shooting sports. Consequently any new member can look forward to learning the technical skills from some of the best shooters locally. And hopefully they too will later pass on their new precision skills to other learning shooters.
Membership
Thunder Bay Benchrest Club (TBBC) is a member club under the umbrella of the Thunder Bay District Fish & Game Association (TBDF&GA): You can read about TBDF&GA and see the master range schedules for all member clubs on their website.
Our eleven rifle and pistol and archery ranges are located on more than sixty acres in the City at 260 Pento Road (off Government Road near Dawson Road). The facilities are secured by TBDF&GA member-only electronic key access.
Every member of TBBC must first be a current paid up member of Thunder Bay District Fish & Game Association, holding at least a general membership there.
At this time there is a fee of $5.00 to join TBBC. This annual fee is for our incidental expenses and may be raised in future towards our club's specific events.
