Smile South Calgary Shooting

I live in south East Calgary and I am looking for a field to sight in my firearms and do some target practice. I am quite a distance from McLean Creek and don't love shooting in the 50 yard indoor ranges. Let me know if you know anyone who permits shooting on their land and/or a public place near Calgary that i may not know about. Thank you

Have you looked into CDTSA? They have the Shepherd range SE Calgary just east of 22X and Stony trail.
I ended up joining the range as there isn't many places around Calgary that allow shooting.

I am on the waiting list for 2019... none of the outdoor ranges are accepting new members at this time of year. If I am wrong, please PM me!!!

Thanks for the confirmation. I also need to sight in my new rifle. It gets pricey driving to crown shooting spots, I usually try and make a scouting trip out of it.

I would try and contact land owners in the area you seek to go. I have only met a couple that were a bit grumpy you are bothering them.
Maybe it’s just me but some the titles people are posting lately sound like they have another meaning such as shooting in south Calgary or adult children etc. Weird

CDTSA members can buy a limited guest passes per year, maybe you could find a member willing to take you out? *cough* beer *cough*

That cdtsa range could be 2x as big and I bet it would still sell out in a few hours it seems really popular around Calgary.

Best range hands down. No walk ins - all members. Nice range in town and a beauty multi million dollar range 1hr away
