Vancouver Rifle and Pistol Club

Welcome to the Vancouver Rifle and Pistol Club

The Vancouver Rifle and Pistol Club (VRPC) was formed on November 29, 1958 as a private shooting range club and the land was graciously donated to VRPC by Orval Higdon. VRPC is a 50 feet indoor range with 12 firing points. We are a private club (NOT Open to the Public), only members can use the range and non-members can shoot as a guest of members only. We do allow organization and groups the use of our range, like Hunter Education, Bullseye Pistol, Cowboy Action, Practical Pistol, the Young Marines, Boys Scouts of America, 4H Clubs, and others.

How to calculate muzzle energy:

E = (M x V²) ÷ K

where K = 450,435 and is derived from (2 x 32.1739 x 7000),

M is the weight of the projectile, in grains,

V is the velocity in feet per second

E is the energy in foot pounds.
