CLUB SPOTLIGHT: CU Shotgun (@cutrapskeetteam)

The Carleton University Trap and Skeet team is one of two firearms related clubs at Carleton University. Known as CU Shotgun, the club is made up of a core group of dedicated students who are interested in becoming more proficient shotgun shooters. CU Shotgun’s aim is to provide students with the opportunity to compete against other Canadian College and University clubs, and hopefully one day to compete internationally. CU Shotgun also aims to introduce new shooters and firearms enthusiasts to the shotgun sports by hosting events and giving the opportunity for individuals to participate in shotgun sports.

The club meets once a week to practice with Coach Dean Herzberg, and individual team members are encouraged to get out to the range on their own as well. In the inaugural competition season for the Canadian University Shooting Federation (CUSF), CU Shotgun had team members finish in First, Second and Third place of the skeet event! This past season the team was preparing hard and team members David Addison and Nathan Byerley were looking very competitive shooting their first 25 clays straight late last winter (congrats!). The team is hoping to continue this momentum into CUSF’s next skeet competition.

CU Shotgun has been an established club at Carleton University since 2015 and thanks to CUSF organizing competitions, CU shotgun now meets the requirements to become a competitive sports club in the Carleton University Athletics Department. With the school year kicking off soon CU Shotgun is excited to get going again with practices, competitions and events as soon as we can do so safely!

“Smashy Smashy!”

Club Spotlight: "Censored" University Sport Shooti

Club Spotlight: "Censored" University Sport Shooting Association (@cussa_mtl)

It has definitely been an eventful year for CUSSA (the CUSF affiliated club out of Concordia University)! We had been in an ongoing battle with the student union as to club recognition process. Despite receiving initial approval, the club’s status was revoked in a closed-doors meeting of the student union council. In doing so they violated their own governing statutes, bylaws and standing regulations, so CUSSA appealed to the Judicial Board of the student union.

However, this opposition did not faze us. Despite not being recognized as an official group (even while our appeal was under review), we persevered. Despite a lack of support from the student union, we managed to find ways through sponsorships to help fund our Club and its events. We hosted our first series of range days with tremendous success. We managed to reach out to the student community, and were able to host seven range events between November 2019 and March 2020, with one event in late March unfortunately cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. In total, we had nearly 100 students and volunteers participate in those events!

The good news didn’t end there either. During the lockdown, the Judicial Board finally decided to take up our case. It ruled in our favour, re-instating our club status. Moreover, the board also ruled it unacceptable of the student union to send any clubs to referendum whatsoever, making this not only a victory for us, but for all clubs on campus who might draw the ire of a member of the student council for ideological reasons.

We are currently preparing for the next semester: building a larger team, getting advertisements ready and looking at which ranges will allow visitors so that we can promote the hobby among students at Concordia. With new sources of funding secured and a new ruleset for all clubs being implemented, we are ready to hit the ground running!

- James, President of the CUSSA

From competition to plinking to pest control... the venerable 22 LR does it all! The CUSF Smallbore Rifle League is built around this cartridge, and designed to minimize cost while maximizing the participation in our shoots, all while building the fundamentals of marksmanship. Did you get your start on a 22?

What do you know about the classification of Canadian firearms?

There are two main parts: legislative (the Firearms Act, Criminal Code, and Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and Other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited, Restricted or Non-Restricted) and the Firearms Reference Table. The legislation is passed by the goverment which carrys the weight of law, while the reference table is solely an administrative document created by the RCMP.
