Default Red Deer & area outdoor gun ranges, what's out there??

What is there for outdoor ranges from Red Deer to Ponoka area, are they decent, any steel challenge or 3gun in the area? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Closest range that I can think of with those options would be Rocky.

Ponoka is a 100 yard max. No shotguns and no shooting steel.
Rocky range is probably better for you.

I think there is six or seven.
During the week your usually by yourself.
And on the weekends from may to sept the place is usually booked so no one can shoot.
