CHAS Genesee range is only on 160 acres so 800m x 800m and they have 5 ranges and can have 100 people there. Why do you think the long range is 800m? It's the same 800m you have to work with on 80 acres.

I don't think anyone here is against mattj 117 or anybody else having a range or shooting on his own property. They are more or less trying to get him to understand what he is up against. He is mouse trying to fend off a herd of mad elephants that are about to stomp him. Nothing personal but matt seems naive when it comes to having a legal private shooting range on your own property in a suburban county that is getting more densely populated every day year after year.
Strathcona county already has bylaws outlawing discharge of firearms especially centerfire without jumping through a maze of hoops.
