I haven't been yet but the appeal to me is it's membership price is relatively low ($160) compared to other options near Edmonton ($185-$495). There is no wait list to become a member and guests are allowed. It also offers a rifle range up to 800m, a 100m rifle range, a 25/50m range for pistols and rimfire, another 0-25m pistol and rimfire range as well as 3 shotgun ranges. They also offer free passes for Phoenix Gun range ($495 for a yearly membership) in Edmonton once a week in the evening. Additionally, they run multiple leagues including Service Rifle, 3-gun and a Ladies League as well as others.
Even if I didn't own restricted firearms I would still easily be a member of CHAS since if I wanted to look for crown land to shoot I'd still be travelling approx. the same distance away from the city to do it.
There are other ranges that are closer (more expensive) and a little further away (a little bit cheaper) but with everything that CHAS has to offer and all the good things I've read about them I decided to go with them as my first range since moving out here.
Hopefully someone who's spent a lot more time there can give you more information but I figured I'd let you know what made me decide to pick CHAS.
I've just relocated to southern Alberta and I'm hoping that someone can tell me something about the Picture Butte club? The Taber club seems like a pretty nice facility; but Picture Butte would be more convenient.

I am not new Edmonton and have bin shooting a couple years but new to this forum and always open to new places and people if anyone is interested
Hi, this is my first post here.
Was on Vancouver Island and shot at VFGPA. Now back in Edmonton, and shoot at SPFGA.
Used to have an EGC membership, but no longer. When I'm a little more 'settled' (whatever that means), I might consider shooting there again.
Shooting interests are Trap, and Smallbore Silhouette (though I am good at neither).

Hi Everyone,
New to the site and pretty new to firearms. Looking for some friends/mentors to hit the range every so often and would really like to find a mentor to help with hunting/fishing etc. My Dad was an avid hunter when he was younger but grew up in Northern Ontario. Since moving to alberta he hasnt really done much shooting or hunting, mostly as a result of not knowing the areas.
Would really like to meet someone to show me the ropes and all that jazz. Work away from home quite a bit so might be a bit challenging to coordinate schedules at times, but im a quick learner and passionate about gaining some of these skills.
Hope to hear from some of you! Send me a message, new to the board and still getting the feel for navigating it.
Hi all!
Just got my PAL. Living in Ottawa. Totally new to firearms.
I have no firearms right now, but planning to buy a 92FS. Maybe a rifle later (if wife approves the budget;-))
Anyone near Ottawa who wants to give some advices on the clubs or ranges near Ottawa?
Thanks
