Again, we thank you for your patience and understanding. The shotgun event at Shepard on Sunday, November 29th will start at 11:00AM.
Please remember that shotgun events will close the archery bay at Shepard. The Alberta Government's Firearms Advisory Committee has released a survey to examine the impact of the May 1st firearms ban. Please fill out this survey to help the government make decisions around firearms in Alberta.
https://www.alberta.ca/alberta-firearms-advisory-committee.aspx The Executive has received complaints from neighbours living along 138 Ave. SE about members travelling along the gravel road above the speed limit. This has created excessive dust, danger to children and pets and annoyance to our Shepard Range neighbours!
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, ALL MEMBERS TRAVELLING TO THE SHEPARD RANGE MUST USE 146 AVE. (PAVED ROAD) ONLY! ANY MEMBERS FOUND USING 138 AVE. (GRAVEL ROAD) WILL IMMEDIATELY HAVE THEIR MEMBERSHIP TERMINATED! Thank you for your cooperation. The CDTSA Executive Committee September 22, 2020 It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Ronald (Ron) Cunningham. Ron was a long time supporter of the shooting sports. Ron served as President of CDTSA for 13 years and was an active participant in service rifle and shotgun events.
The club offers their deepest sympathies to Ron’s wife and family. Below is the link to the funeral home and service details. https://mhfh.com/tribute/details/31344/Ronald-Ron-CUNNINGHAM/obituary.html#content-start The Board is pleased to announce that the guest pass restrictions for the Shepard and Milo Ranges have be relaxed and guests are permitted to shoot, subject to adherence to the following conditions:
- All guests and members supervising guests MUST wear a mask. - Shared firearms and equipment must be sanitized before changing hands. This is IMPERATIVE to meet current Alberta Health conditions! - All guest pass rules must be strictly followed. We thank you in advance for taking these necessary precautions and helping to keep the ranges open. A statement has been issued by the RCMP regarding 10 and 12 gauge shotguns and the ban of 20mm bore firearms.
10 and 12 gauge shotguns are NOT prohibited as per the new gun ban legislation. www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/firearms/need-know-the-government-canadas-new-prohibition-certain-firearms-and-devices Dear CDTSA members,
As changes are made on the rules how we can interact by the health authorities we have to adjust our procedures at the ranges. We are one of the few ranges that are open in the province. The members for the most part have been doing a great job in following the guidelines we have set forth and as long as we continue to do so, it will allow us to keep the ranges open for as long as possible. Due to the 15-person rule set forth we have made the following adjustments. The rules are for both Milo and Shepard. 1) Rifle Bays: Every shooter has to have an empty shooting bench between them. No more than two people at each bench and they need to be family members. 2) Pistol bays: Every shooter can have 2 family members max but there must be 2 meters of separation between other shooters on the bench or on the shooting range. 3) Archery: 2 meters of separation between shooters For example: If you have a family of 4 registered in your membership, you may have 2 at the bench and the other 2 need to be in your vehicle. No one can be observing on the shooting bay. If the bays become busy you must shoot for a maximum of 30 minutes only to allow other members to shoot. Once again, a reminder that you are all Range officers and must ensure that these rules are strictly adhered to. We will be doing random checks and if we find that the rules are not followed, we will be forced to shut down the entire range and deal with the offenders accordingly. Regards, Your CDTSA board |
