** In 2010, the City of Yellowknife imposed a $5000 per year environmental levy upon the Yellowknife Shooting Club for operation of the outdoor range. These additional member fees are to cover this surchage imposed by the city through the lease agreement.

Please do not harass True Value staff for your key.  True Value handles our memberships out of the goodness of their heart.  Your key will be available for pick up following the receipt of an email stating it is available and has been dropped off.

The outdoor range is located in the sand pits west of town on Highway 3, just past the airport. Turn off the highway at the shooting range sign and follow the gravel road around the left side of the sand pits. Take the first right when you get to the trees and follow the sand road a few hundred metres to the gate.
