Grande prairie shooting range

[skippy210]

I will be moving to Grande Prairie the minute my house gets sold and will be looking for a place to shoot medium range in the grande prairie area.
Any one from there who could give me a hint? Thank you

Contact/pm me when you move to GP.
I can help you with a few areas.

 

[skippy210]

Ok thank you

Wapiti shooters club is the range, if you are interested in going to an actual shooting range. They have a website.

Weekends
10-5
Closed mondays, indoor range isnt available thru the summer 8 outta 10 times, i pay so i can buy restricted, i find myself goin with a 12 gauge more often than range

I haven't been there except for Sporting Clay events, but I have had a fantastic time each and every time.

Wapiti is open 1-7 in the summer during the week, open 10-4 on weekends,closed Mondays for maintainance. Indoor range is usually closed in the summer for maintainance. They would have longer hours, but they have to have a RSO on duty, a condition put on by the CFO, but with 600 members there is only about 20 people willing to work.

 

[transporteRR]

Never knew they had two sets of hrs so my apologies on that

 

[skippy210]

That's new to me the two clubs I was member of there was no need for someone present all the time. You would unlock the door sign in and shoot and done sign out and lock the door behind you that was it. And it was 50 yards inside range. Only had to appoint one guy to be the RO when there was more then just yourself at the range.

Not sure wht the OP's idea of medium range is but wapiti shooters club only has a 200m range, just a heads up.

There was a bullet hit a house in the Dunes, they closed the range for 8 months. In order to open the range the CFO wanted a RSO on duty during open hours.

Rumour has it the bullet didn't come from the range.

It is a good club. And doing improvements all round.

To be honest, the club no longer offers me anything of significant value.
With so many limitations on shooting hours & distance potential, I have opted to go my own way in public areas.

I was a member from 1995-2007, and it was a great facility for what its built for. There is some politics as there is in all clubs.
They offer the shotgun shooter a wide variety of enjoyment, and some decent pistol facilities.

The rifle range part has been "stunted" by the golf course building residential areas around it. By default, residential ares get the legal priority when it comes to safety. This is why they are limited to 200 yards for controlled safety.


In my personal opinion, they should completely shut down the rifle end of things and concentrate on the services they can adequately support. There are some Very good shotgun and pistol shooters at the club.
