We extend a special welcome to visiting shooters participating in our Provincial Tournament, being held July 21-25, 2021. Our primary goal at the Calgary Firearms Centre is providing a positive and safe experience to all levels of shooters. Over the past few years there has a been a resurgence in the shooting sports, and we at the CFC embrace the opportunity of introducing trap, skeet and sporting clays to those who wish to participate. We were delighted with the number of members and new shooters who visited in 2020, even with the imposed restrictions due to the health crisis. The combination of safety protocols, excellent equipment and convenient location just minutes south of Calgary, strengthened our position as the busiest facility of its kind in North America. In order to comply with public health regulations and ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers and customers, the clubhouse will remain closed until the Alberta Health Authority deems it safe to be open. Our restrooms are available for use through a separate entrance, and we continue to accommo- date registration through a wicket on the north side of the building. Sanitizer is located at each shoot- ing station, and we encourage you to social distance and wear masks when attending the facility. This visible growth of the shooting sports is reflected in the popularity of our Youth and Women’s Shooting Leagues, which occur on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer months. Experi- enced coaches mentor shooters, helping them to develop skills and technique in a safe and fun en- vironment. Whether you are a first-time shooter interested in trying a new activity, or wish to become more proficient in the sport, consider participating in one or more of the three sessions being offered this year. Visit our website, aheia.com, or call the Calgary Firearms Centre at (403) 256-0665 for more information and to register. This year we are excited to be offering a full complement of registered trap shoots, and details of all the shoots are outlined in this program. Throughout the summer we also offer workshops, special events and accommodate private functions which may limit access to the facility from time to time. Be sure to call ahead before coming to the range, or check our website for information on closures or restricted public use. If you would like to book one or more fields, or even the entire facility for a special event, we will happily work with you to accommodate your requirements and can provide coaching, firearms rentals, and ammunition. Individual coaching is also available for first-time visitors to the range. Please call ahead to schedule a private coaching session. Did you know that the Alberta Hunter Education Instructors’ Association offers an extensive collec- tion of educational and training programs, both online and at our many centres throughout Alberta?
