Setting 600 yards as a minimum to be called 'long range', where are the 'long ranges' in Canada? Emphasis on private ranges (I'm thinking ahead of where to retire to and would like to have a range near-by), but public access (albeit limited) on military ranges is acceptable. I'd like to throw this out and see what the responses look like. What comes to mind are:

BC - Military - Chilliwack (Vokes) - 600m
BC - Private - Kamloops - 1000m??
AB - Private - Calgary (Homestead) - 900m
AB - Private - Edmonton (Genosee ?) - 800m+??
AB - Private - Ft. McMurray - 800m+??
SK - Private - Nokomis - 1200+ yards
MB - Military - Winnipeg (CFB Winnipeg) - 1000yd
ON - Military - Barrie (Bordon) - 1000yd
ON - Private - Hamilton (Winona) - 800yd
ON - Private - Chatham (Cedar Springs) - 800yd??
ON - Military - Ottawa (Connaught) - 1000yds??
NB - Military - Fredericton (Gagetown) - 900m
NS - Private - Halifax (Bull Meadows) - 800m
NS - Military - Halifax (Bedford) - 600yd?

Please feel free to add to the list and correct any errors that I have here.
 
Nokomis range in Saskatchewan is not private. Anyone can shoot there. But buy a membership to the association that saved the money over the years, sweated through the design and approvals stages, and whose members volunteered days and days of personal time. Shoot to your heart's content. Just don't confuse club owned with privately owned.

Other ranges in Sask include Camp Dundurn (near S'toon) - 1000yd military range, and Burdick (near MJ) 600yd military range.
 
A couple of fixes...

I think what he meant by private was that they are not Military ranges that he can get a membership for and shoot when he wants as opposed to only being able to shoot at Military ranges during sanctioned events. Just my take on it. :confused:
