Fundy Shooting Sports

Fundy Shooting Sports has been serving the firearms community of Saint John since 1988. What started as a local shooting club has grown into a full-featured facility that welcomes everyone from casual shooters to competitive athletes.

The club operates a private range facility at Mispec, just past Canaport, with multiple dedicated shooting lines:

• •Range Hours: 9:00 AM to 1/2 hour before legal hunting end time (maximum 9:00 PM). Guns must be cased by these times. The range closes only during moose season.

New members must: - Attend a monthly club meeting (held second Tuesday at KBM Outing Association, 2452 Westfield Rd, Saint John at 7:00 PM) - Hold a valid PAL or RPAL firearms license (verified by Provincial Chief Firearms Officer) - Complete mandatory range safety orientation - Review and understand all club regulations and safety rules

Membership runs January 1 to December 31. New keys are issued after renewal, with lock changes happening January 1st each year. Applications are NOT accepted online—you must attend a meeting in person.

The club runs a full seasonal calendar:

IPSC Pistol Matches - Held Monday and Wednesday evenings during summer - Requires Black Badge certification (course offered annually, $150 including 1-year IPSC membership) - Courses typically held in late April

"A Fun, Safe, Legal Place To Enjoy Firearms, Year Round, Only Minutes From Saint John!"

Fundy Shooting Sports operates with transparent leadership and active member involvement. The club holds monthly meetings every second Tuesday at 7:00 PM where members discuss range operations, vote on policy changes, and plan upcoming events. Club officers manage insurance, range certification, facility maintenance, road upkeep, and snow plowing.

The club is deeply community-focused. Recent initiatives include fundraising shoots supporting members facing hardship, youth outreach programs introducing new shooters to the sport responsibly, and partnerships with local scout organizations.
