Somedays I just hate public ranges.

I've belonged to so many that took my money and then wouldn't let me shoot there so many times during a year that it was hardly worth the price of admission.

In this case the "price of admission" is $0.00/year. I'm sure anyone who asks nicely can get a refund from the A.P.R.A for the inconvenience.

The more that I read about the issues that many Alberta ranges are experiencing, the more I appreciate my local range. The $200 per year membership that I pay, seems like a bargain for the facilities that we have.

So, after building all the big berms and etc into the BTSA range, they need to shut down the public range due to an IPSC shoot? Likely to get some parking space?This could be interesting.
There are a lot of people who don't read this forum.
