Was just shooting a wee .308 10 twist with 180s today, zero cant rail so was tapped out at 1300m, will take the 300WM next hitch. I shoot a Leupold Mark 4 ERT 8.5-25 with M5 turrets and Barrett zero gap rings, normally on my 300 WM and 30moa rail but have it bolted on the 308 for now.

That's a nice range, looks like there is a road on the left that down range. I'll have to look into it if i ever get back in that area.
Do you bring your own steel targets or just a can of stay paint to cover existing targets?

So, what is the policy for guests, and who has a membership that I need to start sucking up to?

Well carp! For that price, even including the drive from Calgary it is hard to complain... time to start looking for camping around Edson!

Lots of good camping around edson - and the fishing was damn stellar when I lived there. Might have to head back in "working" and ring some steel in the evenings.

What are the rules regarding guests? I'd like to check it out before buying the membership. I spend a fair bit of my time out in that area now and would like to be apart of a good range
Is there a handgun range?

Looking downrange, there's room for expansion.

bought a membeship yesterday. I have some land north of edson so this will be nice and handy when im out at the lake. If somone ever wants to get together and school me on long range shooting Id be happy to lend them a camping spot. Ive got a few nice accurate rifles with decent scopes that id like to be able to use to 600 yards in a hunting application.

I was given a personal tour of the range. One of the most well thought out ranges in north america. Could not open my wallet fast enough to pay for a life time membership. 2 hours from my house.
