Default Case of Beer

I am offering a case of beer to anyone within 50km of red deer, for me to come in shoot for the day, I will clean up after myself, and close any gate I go through, must have room for 100 - 1000 yard shots, I will be home in May
1 case per day, or $25.00

And the range would provide proper shooting benches, measured distances, safe backstops, and liability insurance.

Perhaps you two could point out where the 1000 yd range within 50km of Red Deer is.

There isn't one.

It's only another 600 km North, but you could come up to the Fort Mac range. It goes to 1000 M. JK, but if you ever find yourself in this neck of the woods, you'd be really impressed with the range here.

The range that I was using in RD got shut down, was a spot for locals to go and shoot, but someone must have been doing something stupid, because the last time I went there, there was a sign saying closed by the RCMP

don't like your chances of shooting at a 1000 yards in a field (?)....know it's a bit further, but there is a range at Consort that offers up to 1,000 yards, nice facility

Just looking for a field to shot my gun in, figured someone could trade off the sound of the gun going off, for a little extra $$$ some people are still having hard times... Just trying to find someone who could use a little extra $...
If there is no one out there that has a couple sections of land that don't mind me shooting, that's ok, I will keep going to my "homemade" range, got ten gongs, I like it just wish had a place closer to home, when I don't have all day.
If anyone thinks they got what I need, just PM me, will only be me and a spoter, or just me... Thank you
