Hi, just got my PAL!! i live in the southern area of Winnipeg(five minutes from perimeter) and i am wondering where the crown lands are to go shoot my father's .22. i would prefer to be going south to the city. I don't want to drive more than an hour away. it would be very convenient if it was to the south. Saying that i will still consider any other crown lands out there. please help me out! i want to shoot now! THANKS

U can head out east on the transcanada hwy past Richer about 5 min and on the north side of hwy is a gravel rd into the trout ponds , there is several pits to shoot at , about 30 min drive from perimeter, nothing south that I know of
There aren't too many places to shoot, south of Winnipeg, as most of the lands belong to farmers. Like the previous poster mentioned, east on Canada 1, past Ritcher, there are lots of good spots. You can also go south east past Marchand on Hwy 52 and also off Hwy 44 past Beausejour.
New to this group today. I understand that the crown land available for shooting is to be used with great caution, and at ones own risk, but... is it really safe to be there? Is there an unwritten code of conduct? Just read an article that people are drinking and shooting...
I know this question may seem a bit dumb, but I'm curious about the general attitudes about these places.
Thank everyone.

Yes - mind you don't drive over or step in all of the broken glass, and try to leave it cleaner than you found it. We buy a box of clays and shoot those, since they break down.
Better yet, join a cheap range like Selkirk where you won't worry about redneck idgets and sharp bits of garbage.

If you're in the south end of the city Steinbach range might be closest.
freegluten, Perhaps you could point us to the article.
Drinking and shooting is not something I have experienced.
But you never know what a drunk liberal might do.

Pending on which municipality the pits in ? Reynolds is all good 7 days a week. Springfield has a no shooting on Sundays bylaw
There is also several No Tresspassing signs there as well unless someone stole/took them down. Either way it's not crown land.

What would happen if someone caught you shooting in a pit that said no trespassing?
Alot of the time the signs are there to protect the land owner.
Should you throw yourself in a hole or slam a quad into a big rock
and then sue the owner for your stupidity .
Or charged for trespassing and all the damages that made them put up the sign.
Most of us respect the priviledge of use. But a few may have ruined it before you got there
