Alberta Fullbore Rifle Association (AFRA)
The AFRA is a competitive target rifle shooting club. We have access to the Alberta Provincial Rifle Association (APRA) 900m range facilities at the Homestead Shooting Complex. We are not a general gun club - we maintain the 900m range to shoot target rifles. The BTSA, Buffalo Target Shooters Association, has the use of the 900m range on Wednesday evenings for general long range shooting and for sighting in hunting rifles.
We shoot prone from fixed firing points at DCRA (Dominion of Canada Rifle Association) targets from 300m, 400m, 500m, 600m, 700m, 800m and 900m. DCRA targets for TR have a 1 moa center with 1 moa rings from 5 to 1. The F-Class DCRA target has a ½ moa center and 1 moa rings from 5 out to 1. As an association we do not allow the use of restricted or any prohibited firearms on the 900m range.
