Anyone know of any good, cheap firing ranges in Calgary, perferably in the NW?

And what their prices are? If they have monthly membership, or is it a per-day? And price of ammo for 9mm?

Thanks!

I don't know of the prices, but "Shooters Edge" or Maybe its "The Shooting Edge" is fairly cheap from what I have heard. The only problem it is off Blackfoot just south of Glenmore, so not even close to the N.W.

Funny you bring that up Splatman,

A friend and I were looking into something like this as well this summer.

I was actually going to post a similar thread but you beat me to it.

BTW, Thanks for the info Cowboy.

I am going to look into this and see what it costs.

Haha, I'm stuck to firing a air gun right now until I make the occational trip up to Edmonton where I have a season's pass to the Wild West firing range.

Drinking... guns... racing... ambitions to go hunting some time... I'm turning into a model citizen! (I kid Jordon)

I know there`s one near the airport as well as one out off of highway 68 (K country) unsure of names or prices, though.

Who knows. It's 33 bucks a day plus ammo I guess. How much do bullets cost?
Well the place I go to in Edmonton (Wild West) 22-caliber is less then $20 for ammo, and 9mm is $20-25. I usually stick to those two... 22 to work on my aim and controling the recoil, 9mm when I'm on a power trip attitude. (sad but true)

Desert Eagles... those 45's cost over $40. Never tried one of those, they scare me. :unsure: Being the scrawny pointdextor I am, it would blow my friggin arm off.

Shooting Edge is a lot of fun, I went a couple years ago, and really enjoyed it... the prices were decent and they had a wide assortment of weapons.

It'll cost you about $80 for a couple rounds.

Shooter's Edge is fun, but it'll cost you quite a bit. As Fotze said, it's 33 bucks a day (I think it's like $450 for the year) and it's $24/box of 9mm. If you bring your own guns you can bring your own ammo (they don't want you bringing your own if your're gonna use their guns, cause it might be a little hot, they don't know). So it's fun, but it'll cost you.
Plus it still isn't as fun as just going to a buddy's farm.
