Since 1868 the DCRA has supported shooting disciplines using both bullseye and military-type targets.
Today we offer 6 core disciplines, in addition to those offered by our affiliated Provincial Rifle Associations and partners.
Target Rifle is a traditional target sport, and presents the unique challenge of shooting long range using iron sights with no external support for the rifle. Shooting is done on targets from 300m – 900m.
F-Class shooting is done from 300m-900m with rifles supported by bipods or mechanical front rests and using highly magnified optics. Wind reading is at a premium in order to hit the 10″ bullseye at nearly 1 km.
Descended from the original Service Rifle (A), today’s Service Rifle affords the opportunity to shoot a variety of positions and types of engagement at distances up to 500m.
Our mission is to promote and support the pursuit of excellence in military and civilian marksmanship as a positive and significant contribution to Canada, to the sport of shooting and to the safe handling of firearms.
