Giving McMaster students an opportunity to learn about firearms sports and safety. Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for experienced, new, and aspiring McMaster University student shooters and train them in Olympic and other Shooting Sports disciplines.

You don't need a license (R/PAL) to join us. We provide mentorship, range access, personal safety equipment, firearms, and ammunition.

In addition of being a McMaster Athletics & Recreation club, we are supported by the Canadian University Shooting Federation (CUSF). There are opportunities to submit our scores to compete with students from many CUSF sponsored universities across Canada.
