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.
Anyone who is a United States citizen or legal resident and can own a firearm legally.
There is a one time registration fee of $80.00 unless you are a member of Clark Rifles.
Our annual membership dues are $120.00 (seniors, older than 62, are $80.00).
Membership is per a household, meaning the Primary member and his or her spouse, including life partners and all children living under one household, the same roof, are included in the membership. However, they must come with the primary member or get their own access card to the range. Guest of members pay $5.00 per a visit and members cannot bring more than two guest at a time.

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.
