Grande prairie shooting range

[G.Mitchell]

PM me, I am happy to show you a few spots I shoot.

Thanks. Is there any cowboy action shooting in that area?

There was some talk about a group towards Beaverlodge but was never able to confirm this...........

 

[skippy210]

Our house is for sale just waiting for the sold sign on the front lawn.

 

[Max Owner]

Good luck.

If you are interested, you can PM me aswell.

Did you belong to Burlington?

 

[skippy210]

no i am east of ottawa, near the Quebec border. Any one that moved from another province before? Looking for the best way to move.

We used Atlas Van Lines on the way out. Super professional (guys we had....) and very little damage. Used a no name cheaper place the second time and lots of stuff damaged that their "insurance" wouldn't cover.

Cheaper to move out here than move back to Ontario.

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

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

In fact, after review by the RCMP, it was not proven that the round came from the range. It was also noted that at the time there were other infrequent shooters in the area that were not using the range. So the possibility does exist that the round may have come off the range.

Also, FYI, the range was voluntarily closed down by the executive to prevent the RCMP or CFO from doing it for them. It was only after the RCMP could not prove the round came from the range that a motion was held to open it. One discipline would've like to keep the rifle range closed but except for the motion, which would've taken a 66% or 75% vote to turn the motion. The RSO rule was put in place by the executive, not the RCMP or CFO.

I did not know that the executive put the RSO rule in. I will have to talk to the CFO about this when he's up next.

Yep, they wanted to ensure that the possibility of any occurrences happening wouldn't happen

Got a bigger problem, looking for a house to rent and no one wants pets. Looking for a house in the country if possible around grande prairie with a garage and that i can also keep my rescued pets. Any one as contact?

 

[Max Owner]

Google Hythe or Beaverlodge.

Will ask around.....

Depending on your family size, most campgrounds allow pets. I stay in a holiday trailer most of the year, I'm in the process of making a mobile dog kennel with an insulated and heated dog shed for the gf's pets. For $500 a month, it seems to be the cheapest way to live in GP with pets.

I also have a 29ft 5th wheel for sale with a queen and bunks if you're interested, shoot me a pm.

 

[Max Owner]

Also try looking on Kijiji for places to rent.

Finally found a house in GP not far from the gun club and an atv trail very near by. We are moving on the first week of November. Hopefully have time to go shooting before winter comes.

There is a wood stove for shooting out on the rifle range.
