Default Sighting in or Provincial Grazing Reserves

Hi all,

I'm trying to clarify if it is legal to sight in on provincial grazing reserves (PGR) such as Bow Island, or is it only legal to hunt there?

Thanks,
Mick288

Phone the grazing reserve in question and ask them if they will allow it.

To answer my own question, the Argologist for that reserve replied to my enquiry and said that "Target shooting is not an approved activity on Public Land. So, unfortunately you won't be able to sight in your rifles on any PGR"

Taber has a great range 600 meters and only a ~ $100 bucks to join....Easy and cheaper then finding a spot in some field.
