Hi all. I am trying to find a place to go shooting around Calgary, Gravel pit or crown land that people go-to on a regular basis. I have looked around on the forums and I cant seem to find a forum for specific areas of Canada. If this is the wrong place to post I apologies. I have tried google but most of the posts I have found are years old. I am located in the NW of Calgary.
Thanks.
waiparous apparently, personally I don't go out there so I am not sure where there. I say Just join a range like DDSA they are cheap enough and close enough, and then you can shoot restricted if you want.
Following. I'm interested too
Who is and where are DDSA ?
A neighbor was out camping in waiparous last weekend with his family.
He mentioned the steady rattle of gunfire and booming of binary explosive.
>join a range
Last time I looked into it I saw memberships in the $600+ range? Is that still the case?

No body shoots gravel pits any more, not the safest to begin with.
Find a quite spot down the trunk road, with a safe back stop, sand , dirty .. good field of view with no trials in the back ground..
Have fun, clean up all messes..ALL
Any common knowledge gravel pits are going to be a zoo, or there will be 'no shooting' signs posted. People will generally be heavily inclined to not share their crown land spots if they've found them. You're better off to drive out to crown land, and start looking for a reasonable spot. Something with a decent hill and no hiking/access trails behind it for a good ways.

This. Anywhere close to town was probably shut down by now due to ######s leaving garbage everywhere. And people who have found spots tend to keep them quiet because if they don't, the cycle begins again - garbage gets left all over the place, and whoever has jurisdiction over that area eventually closes it to shooting.Originally Posted by Big bore dinosaur
In Greater Vancouver they closed the vast majority of places you could go within 2 hours of the city a few years back for this very reason.

If you need religion to have good morals then you don't actually have good morals.
Unfortunately, even if 90% shooters clean up after themselves all people will see is the mess left by the other 10%.
Pretty much. CGNers had a big cleanup up Sylvester Road outside Mission, BC. We removed many bags of garbage, filled two trucks with scrap metal, burned a big pile of scrap wood. But we were only able to clean up one single shooting spot, out of many. Like 6 months later they closed the whole area to shooting anyways.
