Need to sight in a new rifle - Edmonton area

Etownguy · #1 08-31-2014, 09:55 PM

I bought a new rifle for deer season and need to sight it in. It's been bore sighted, but will need the standard fine tuning. I'm looking for recommendations about where to sight it in.

I've done my searches of the forum and I know there are lots of threads about different ranges and so on, but the information changes regularly from what I can tell (some are closed, some are closed to new members, etc etc).

Can you recommend a place for me to go? A range, or 'acceptable' crown land locations, etc. I'm willing to travel a little to do it, but would prefer to stay around Edmonton if possible.

Thanks!

I have heard that the edmonton gun club off of hwy 19 by castrol race way is a good place.

I think Edm Gun Club is shotgun only? SPFGA not accepting apps from new members until Jan 01. Think SGGC is still closed? Perhaps CHAS is taking members. Also, you might try Tofield Gun Club to the east.

Tofield isnt bad but it only goes up to a 100yrds. And they dont give any new members a key to the gate until that new member have been around for 6 months. At lest thats how it was a year ago when I went there to try it out. Try checking Spruce Grove gun range then??

I think Spruce Grove is also capped out but you can try ... I have not heard of them re-opening, so assume they have not accomplished all the things required by the Appeal Board? Camrose is another possibility. I am not familiar with clubs west of sggc.

What about Wabamum Gun Club?

I just looked at their website and it says it is a shotgun only facility (http://www.edmontongunclub.com/). Thanks though.
