NOW OPEN Range #9 Rimfire Range and Range #10 Drop-In Shotgun Range
The CDTSA Executive Group are pleased to announce that the new Range #9, Rimfire Range and the new Range #10, Drop-In Shotgun Range, are now approved by RCMP and open for our members’ use.
· Range #9 is located west of the Milo sign-in shack along the south property boundary fence. It is approved for use of rimfire (i.e. .17, .22 S, L & LR and .22WMR) calibre cartridges only, and is intended to provide a low-noise plinking and informal target practice range without the high noise exposure associated with centre-fire cartridge reports. We see this as an ideal place to introduce new shooters to our sport, as well as to enjoy general target practice using rimfire rifles and handguns. Targets allowed include paper/cardboard attached to the backboards, and reactive targets made of metal or plastic. Reactive targets must either be anchored in the ground or too heavy for their mounting frames to be moved by bullet impact. Reactive targets must be placed within one metre of the back or side berms and if made of metal, must be at least 10 metres away from the firing point. No free rolling ball- or jack-type targets are permitted owing to ricochet prevention requirements. Firing points are not fixed at this range and may vary according to the agreed distance from target by range users at any given time. The maximum shooting distance at this range is defined as from the two provided concrete shooting benches at the range entrance, to the target backboards at the range butts. Please contact the club executive at info@cdtsa.ca if any questions regarding the safe use of this range.
· Range #10 is located at the north west corner of the Milo facility and can be accessed by following the road north from the sign-in shack and then west at the north boundary fence into the shotgun range location. It is approved for use of shotguns only using aerial targets (i.e. ‘clay birds’) only, launched by ground-mounted mechanical throwers only. Shooters going to the shotgun range must change the hinged sign at the sign-in shack to show ‘Shotgun Range Open’ so as to give warning to other facility range users. Last users departing the shotgun range must change the sign back to ‘Shotgun Range Closed’ prior to departure. Please see the following range-specific rules for additional shotgun range use rules. Please contact the club executive at info@cdtsa.ca if any questions regarding the safe use of this range.
SHOTGUN RANGE #10 RULES
This range is for informal shotgun trap shooting using aerial clay bird targets only. No skeet or sporting clays-type shooting allowed. No firearms other than shotguns may be used on this range.
· Clay birds may be thrown using shooter-provided, ground-mounted mechanical launchers only; no hand throwers allowed.
· All shooting is to be done from one of the five shotgun stalls only. Do not move the stalls from their original position. No exceptions.
· Target launchers may be placed to either side of any shooting stall, but not forward of the front edge of the shooting stall.
· Cease fire whenever persons or vehicles are present at the Range 2 500-metre backstop berm.
· Only shot sizes between 7 ½ and 9 are permitted. Larger shot sizes and slugs are not allowed.
· Pick up all spent hulls and other garbage before leaving this range.
· All CDTSA range rules as posted in the sign-in shack apply to the use of this rage and all other ranges at this facility.
Report any misuse of this range immediately to club executive via email to info@cdtsa.ca
The CDTSA Executive Group invites all members and their guests to enjoy these new shooting opportunities!

Calgary & District Target Shooters Association
Calgary & District Target Shooter’s Association is a target shooting club which has been in operation for over thirty years at our present Calgary-area shooting range. Our present shooting range offers rifle, handgun, shotgun and archery ranges. We are currently in the process of developing a second shooting range, in order to provide even more shooting opportunities for our members. Our present Shepard range will continue to operate “business-as-usual” for at least the next several years, and perhaps even longer beyond that. The new Milo range is wholly-owned by our club, thus guaranteeing us a place to shoot for the foreseeable future.
The quarter-section of land purchased, is west of Milo and approximately an hour’s drive south east of our current location. Our present Shepard range is on approximately eight acres of land. Our new Milo range is on 160 acres. This will provide longer shooting distances and the ability to shoot competitions without having to shut down the entire range. We have all witnessed disappointed shooters showing up to do a bit of target practice, only to find the range closed for a scheduled shooting match. We expect our new Milo facility to make this sort of disappointment a thing of the past.
The rolling foothills terrain of our Milo range land provides several natural backstops. The lay of the land allows for construction and simultaneous, independent use of six rifle lanes at each of 50,100, 200, 300, 400 & 500 meters. Two hills rising on our property will allow construction of pistol and archery bays surrounding the base of each hill. Shotgun areas for informal trap practice and sporting clays competition are also planned.The backstops will enable complete projectile containment on our owned land, we qualify for the highest safety level range category, which is also the most readily-approved category.
The new Milo range is intended to be a family-friendly recreational area. We are situated some five minutes west of McGregor Lake, offering camping, boating and fishing, and ten minutes west of the town of Milo with restaurant and hotel facilities. We expect our members may be able to enjoy a “shooting holiday” while only needing to travel an hour out of Calgary. The size of our new facility means that we will be able to host a formal shooting competition and still have lots of room for individual target practice or family fun!
