Calgary & District Target Shooter’s Association is a target shooting club which has been in operation for over fourty years at our present Calgary-area shooting range. Our Shepard shooting range offers rifle, handgun, shotgun and archery ranges. Our Milo range is wholly-owned by our club, and offers a greatly enhanced facility.
The Milo Range is south-west of the village of Milo and approximately an hour’s drive south east of our current location. Built on 160 acres, this range provides 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. Our new Milo facility strives to make this sort of disappointment a thing of the past.
The rolling foothills terrain of our Milo range provides several natural backstops. The lay of the land allows for simultaneous, independent use of multiple rifle lanes at distances of 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 & 500 meters. Two hills rising on our property provide pistol and archery bays surrounding the base of each hill. A Shotgun area for informal trap practice is located at the north end of the property. Backstop construction enables substantial projectile containment within the range perimeter, qualifying Milo for a very high safety level classification for ranges in Canada.
The Milo range is intended to be a family-friendly recreational area. We are situated some five minutes west of McGregor Lake which offers camping, boating and fishing, and ten minutes west of the town of Milo with restaurant and hotel facilities. Our members are able to enjoy a “shooting holiday” while only needing to travel an hour out of Calgary. The size of our facility means that we will be able to host a formal shooting competition and still have lots of room for individual target practice for family fun!
