Is This the Most Scenic Shooting Range in North America?

Could this be the most scenic rifle range in North America? We can’t say for sure, but it certainly is a strong candidate. This is the General Vokes Rifle Range in Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada. Our friend Anette Wachter (30CalGal.com) was there for the annual BC Target Championship. All that greenery combined with the majestic snow-capped peaks in the distance makes for a stunning venue.

Anette (at right) says the match has been going well: “Starting off a bit slow but there were tricky conditions today. I just need to step it up tomorrow… but they are predicting rain. [Editor’s comment: That’s why it looks so green. BC has rain, unlike drought-stricken California where I’m based.]

Anette reports there were fewer participants than in years past: “There has been a small turnout this year since they changed the dates.” She also noted that she is getting a good workout: “People wonder why I have such strong arms. Try carrying all this gear from line to line!” Good luck Anette.
