We should request this thread be made into a sticky. It could be a great source of info for those interested in knowing where clubs are located in order to participate at them whether you live locally to it or are travelling on holidays etc. What say you bmcrae? Sound like it's worthy of being a sticky?
Swift has a clays club?

Sure does! Well a trap club anyways with 4 fields. If they had a website I'd post you a link.....this is their contact info as listed on the ATA and SATA sites.....if you're an NHL fan head there this weekend for the Provincials and you may meet Tiger Williams( Maple Leafs Alumni) there. It's his home club if I recall and he shoots registered trap. I've run into him at several shoots, the first time was 2015 here in Lloydminster at a shoot. I am sure he will be there for the provincial shoot unless he has something more important than shooting on his agenda? I can't think of anything more important than shooting personally?!

The Bulkley Valley Rod and Gun Club just outside of Smithers BC, halfway between Prince George and Prince Rupert. 100 yd rifle range (150 if you push it) pistol and rimfire range, indoor pistol range and trap range with two traps. Heavily involved in the political side of hunting, fishing and shooting sports we promote it any time we can. We host a lot of shooting events for school kids and organizations of any kind. Anything to show that guns are fun, not scary. We used to routinely get people out to shoot AR15s to show how not scary they were. Used to do a lot of 3 gun but that has seriously slowed down and our annual PITA shoot was cancelled due to the dreaded Covid like all the other trap shoots in BC. Open 365 days a year unless rented for a private function. Yes we shoot in the snow.

I wish I could open up that link to check it out but I don't do facebook. Sounds like the club has quite a history. That would be something seeing shooting trophies and memorabilia in ones local club on display dating back to the year after WW1 ended! Are any of the names from founding members families still residing in the area today and are any of the club members related to those individuals of the past? Quite an interesting history write up on the website. Don't know how up to date this site is but I found the site after using my duckduckgo calling skills!

The webpage is out of date by a couple of years. I do get to Petticodiac a few times a year, they have a great facility there, their 5-stand is one of the more difficult I have shot, the background can be challenging.
Silver Willow, near Carstairs, Alberta aspires to be Canada's Premier Sporting Clays Facility. Since 2018, it has been members and guests, with exceptions for instruction, guided shooting and group or corporate activites. There are two sporting clays courses. The green course is 10 stations and is well suited to either recreational shooting or practicing process and mental game on less technical targets. The Blue course is challenging and with four traps on each of the 14 stations is suited to all levels of ability and used regularly for provincial and national competitions.
Included on the grounds are a skeet range - an international wobble trap - five stand - a pattern plate and facilities for meetings, competition presentations and training, including, but not limited to PAL and RPAL courses.
The Day and Co. store is well stocked with both mid range and high end shotguns as well as ammunition and accessories so varied as to make your head spin. Shotguns are available for rental or for 'try before you buy'.
Silver Willow is a family business and the concept of family extends to all members and guests.

I lived in Fredericton in the 70's and shot at your club a few times. Excellent facility.

I shot a few rounds of trap at this club about 10 years ago. My buddy and I had been shooting gophers and took a break to shoot trap. We were warmly received by the members and had a great time.
I'm a long time member of Silver Willow and have watched it grow into one of the finest shotgun range in Canada.
Thanks, these pictures bring back a lot of great memories!

I think it was the owners I met last year at AB Trap Provincials. They were set up with a display of Zoli guns and if memory serves the Syren line for women plus mens and womens shooting apparel. Nice folks and from pictures I've seen the facility looks amazing! I'll get there one of these days.
Member's price per clay?
The more you buy, the better the deal. Typically its about 40-45 cents per target. Think current prices are posted on their web site. Each member can bring a guest or two at a modest price per day to cover insurance. If you are not the guest of a member, it gets pricey.
The facility can get real busy and advanced bookings are necessary.
Silver Willow is NOT an economy choice. That brings me to the other club I belong to.

Blackmore is relatively new and has a great sporting clays course - not to mention pattern plate - american field sporting - 5 stand...
They are very reasonably priced for membership and a little less expensive for member clays. They host regular competitions that can be registered for both NSCA and CNSCA at VERY reasonable price.
Located near Rimbey AB and, for me, that is the only drawback. It's an hour and a half drive for me and Silver Willow is half that. I'd rather be shooting than driviing. Great club though and great people. Growing more all the time.
