How does Rifles and Reels operate?
Rifles and Reels has been in operation since the 1960’s and is located in Garson, Ontario at 950 Goodwill drive. We are a self-sufficient and volunteer run club that relies on membership fees for our income and the work of members who can volunteer their time, labour and efforts to maintain, improve and upgrade the club as time and money allows. Although the club does pay contractors for certain services, a lot of the maintenance, clean-up work, and small projects would not be possible without the help of dedicated members volunteering to help.
