One
of the best priced memberships in Alberta
and two locations for your shooting enjoyment.
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
THE GUN RANGE IS

ON SEPTEMBER 8TH
EVENING FOR SETUP
SEPTEMBER 9TH ALL
DAY AND SEPTEMBER 10TH UNTIL 2:00 PM WHEN THE RANGE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
REOPEN AT TO ALL REGULAR MEMBERS. ALL
SPECTATORS ARE WELCOME TO WATCH AND ENJOY THE EVENT. ************************************************************************************************* 2023 Range Memberships
are required to use ranges. Current
executive positions will remain in place until further notice and the
ability to conduct executive meetings resumes.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
Athabasca
Gun Club Range is now open dealing with COVID-19. THIS IS NOT A JOKE AND IT'S NOT OVER. The
Range will open under these rules:
************************************************************
These
rules are NO JOKE. Break them and you are done for good. Membership
cancelled no refund. Covid
has lessened but is still out there. rs. Please
observe adequate caution and exercise reasonable distancing and
sanitizing procedures. Bring
your own sanitizing materials. If
you cannot get into the range call Steve at 780-689-0724 or text me Jim 780-499-1017 Do
not shoot before 10:00 am any day. Neighborly courtesy and good will
people have quiet time too.
************************************************************
New
Barrel Limiters have been installed on the rifle range, use them or
loose opportunity to shoot here as I will cancel your membership. If
you don't want to use them I will pro rata refund your membership so
you can shoot elsewhere.
*********************************************************** We
are happy to advise that the cost of a Senior lifetime membership
has been reduced from $750 to $500 Hopefully
this helps some of our seniors consider the lifetime membership. ************************************************************** New
Barrel Limiters have been installed on the rifle range. They
are there to assist in over shooting the backstop. If we do not use
them we risk having the range shut down. So
instead of yanking out all of the tubes why not give them a chance,
they are PCV so they will not rust or damage your firearm. The only
thing left to do if people do not assist wit this is to close the
range except when certified range officers can be on duty. This will
severely limit the hours of the range. You
are all range officers in spirit to the range, if you see activities
and know that should not be going on then say something or call
range management. If you don't then you are part of the problem and
not part of the solution. *************************************************************** ******************************************************************
Although
we have extended the rifle range hours to 8:30 during the summer
months we ask that you be courteous to the neighbors and cease
shooting at sundown.
The
sound carries much farther during the winter months when there are no
leaves on the trees.
After
May 1, of the year extended shooting
hours
will contine to 8:30 daily.
************************************************
IMPORTANT
SAFETY NOTICE NO
EXPLOSIVE OR INCENDIARY TARGETS CAN BE USED AT THE RANGE. TANNERITE
AND SHOCKWAVE AS WELL AS OTHER FIREBIRD
TARGETS CAN CAUSE FIRES AND ARE EXCESSIVELY LOUD TO
NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES. WE
CANNOT ALLOW THE USE OF THESE HERE ON OUR PROPERTY. THE TARGET
BACKSTOPS HAVE ALREADY SUFFERED BURN DAMAGE FROM THESE TARGETS. A
FIRE WILL CLOSE THE RANGE PERMANENTLY.
******************************************************* .................................................................................... New
range hours in effect. In
order to keep our neighbors happy and give them some quiet time the
new range hours are: Winter

PROBLEMS Vandalism
Reward - $2,500 For
information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the person or
persons damaging range facilities and equipment. ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ We
have New and Improved Range Signs
 
 
Over
the last summer season many range improvements have
been made for
your shooting enjoyment.
    
*All
new rifle range shooting bench tops and seats with routed edges and
finished with epoxy paint. *New
target stands at 50 yard sight in, 100 and 200
yard targets. Cor-plast which is like plastic
cardboard has been
used as it does not shatter when hit by bullets and is lighter than
plywood.
*I have provided vinyl target
patches in Black and white so a person can cover holes in the
cor-plast and on their
targets at no charge to the range as well as
push pins located on both the rifle and pistol range.
* Brooms
and Dustpans have been supplied on both Ranges for cleaning up range
brass. * Pails
for collection of range brass have been provided to keep brass out
of the garbage. * Squib
/ Fail to fire disposal bins have been provided to increase safety.
  
 
*
25
plus Metal targets of different sizes have been fabricated for the
pistol range to be shot at with .22
rifles or handguns only. We will
repaint the targets when we are there but it is best to bring your own white
paint. Canadian Tire sells cheap paint for $2.49 per can. New
top rails have been manufactured out of Metal to resist bullet
impacts of pistols and small
caliber rifles. Please as the signs
indicate no high power rifles on this range. Addition
of Archery Target Area A
large stack of hay bales with hanging conveyor belts behind them can
now be used for Archery, it is faced away from the main clubhouse
and is at 25 yards. All a person needs to do is bring their own
archery bag and hang it from the steel cables places across the
front of the target area. ___________________________________________________________________
