There are no requirements. You can even sign up without a PAL to receive other perks to being a member like our $5 million in liability insurance.
Silvercore Gun Club does not have its own range, and that is part of what keeps the membership so inexpensive. Members who want to go target shooting can attend any range that allows drop-ins. We maintain a list of drop-in-friendly ranges to get you started, with a focus on British Columbia: see Where to Shoot: Drop-In Ranges for the Lower Mainland.
Silvercore Club members get discounts through our partner retailers and on many Silvercore products and online courses. To see the current list, log in and go to your Dashboard. Under Account Details you will find the member discounts PDF. You will also receive email newsletters with new discounts and exclusive limited-time promotions for members.
The Silvercore Club has a membership base across all provinces and territories. The Silvercore Club membership meets legislated and regulated issuance requirements for ATTs as well as restricted PALs throughout Canada. Every province deals with issuing ATTs and RPALs differently and as such, Silvercore is not responsible for an individual firearms officer denying an applicant an ATT or RPAL.
