Insurance is through the NFA...Guest passes are controlled by the Executive, so you have to beg one of the Executive for a day pass, a fee is paid to cover the end users insurance fees ($10-$20) if my memory serves me correct.
Further information can be had through the NFA....

If I am not invited then I will go out and have a friend video me shooting 500 yards freehand and I will post it. Is that fair?
I just received a PM and was informed that I was the most despised poster on AO and a liar. I can't wait to clear this up more then anyone!

Yeah people PM crap all the time, video it, shut em up, look forward to this or (hopefully not) fall by the wayside...it's go time.

I'll even arrange a ride for you from Leduc, with a fully licenced PAL holder......
I'm off the rest of the week, but Saturday is booked for family, so let me know what day works for you, I'm sure we can get a few AO'er to come vouch for your perfomance.........

I'll make the trip to take in the spectacle if shotguns are included as well. Im chomping at the bit to see a 100 yard kill shot on even a clay.

Are you really surprised that someone gives you a blast via pm when you start talking about people's family members and sending condolences to someone who doesn't seem to have the time of day for you?
This is an online community where friendships are made. Lefty-Canuck is someone who is appreciated by likely thousands of posters. Your ignorance toward him and his family is not appreciated.
Grow up.

No! not a posse. More like a bunch of bearded cheerleaders. Besides, an opportunity to see the Rocky range, I hear that it's worth the trip. If edmhunter can fulfill his task, I'll be the first one to hop in a give him a pat on the back.

I received a PM this morning from a poster that said I was lying about what I said in regards to our posts regarding the hunt with your father. I really did not appreciate that. I did not bring you up, he brought you up to me in his unsolicited PM!
I asked him to PM you for clarification is all, the facts are the facts. I don't like being a liar, when I AM NOT!!!
He should learn the truth from you L-C, then apologize if he has any class.

I said, he said.....You up to taking Dick's offer? It doesn't get much better. Shoot from a heated firing line, your batteries will be OK. A licensed firearm owner to accompany you. Go for it for crying out loud.

Edmhunter, I am offering you 5 gallons of gas/diesel to aid with this journey...Canadian gallons too, not them wimpy little U.S. ones.

Whats so hard to understand that your claims are totally worthless unless you step up, and squash the innuendo.
Talk is cheap, and you're about as wealthy a church mouse right now.

Reminds me of the movie Big Jake (John Wayne).
Where he asks his son Michael(Christopher Mitchum) "how do you get cockroaches outta the wood work?"
His reply was to "smoke em out".............
What's that I smell?

Not the batteries for your scope silly. The one's that keep you going like the Energizer Bunny. After being offered a ride with PAL holder, some fuel and a heated shooting shack, you still deny us? Oh wait, next you can't get your gun out of buddy's house 'cause he's out of town. Or you can't get factory ammo, and if someone even offers some, it'll be the wrong lot # (you know, the one that's printed on the box).

Could also be that edmhunter was merely reminiscing about the days when he could make those hard shots on a fairly consistent basis.
But if he stepped away from regular practice, as many do in the wintertime, his skills would necessarily have degraded. EDM's plan might just be to delay till he's had Spring & Summer to bring himself back up to snuff, and be ready to meet the challenge.
If that's the case he should say so and I would understand.

Does Wednesday afternoon work....say 2pm, then I can work till noon and head over to the range? Tell us what we can do for you to make it Edmhunter. The Tundra has lots of room and can take passengers from Nisku.

Sounds nifty, now we just need Edm to act in the manner beffiting a true sportsman, and accomidate us, and thus wow us with an exposition of fine shooting skill, beyond what none of us have ever seen before.
I love to be amazed, don't you, it's kinda like being 10 yrs old and waiting for Christmas morning, isn't it?
You would'nt dissapoint a kid at Christmas would you Edm?
Or are you the kind that prefers to ruin Christmas for kids by saying things about the validity of the existance of Santa?
C'mon man the opportunity is perfect, we need to close this issue soon, or you will get branded like they did deserters in war time.
