Check out our 16 Meter Pistol Bay! Note that this is the only place where pistol shooting allowed on the Outdoor Range. You cannot shoot pistol from the 50 M, 100 M, 200 M or the 260 M benches. There is no allowance for ground ricochet or shooter error above those targets for pistol use. There are now 3 pistol targets within the Pistol Bay and those targets are placed at 5 meters, 10 meters and 15 meters. Note that only two shooters can shoot at one time at the 16 meter benches. We are in discussions about adding IPSC shooting to our new 16 M Target Bay.

Note that anyone entering the Outdoor Range, must be a member of LDFGA and purchase their own FOB. A Family membership requires only one FOB and any youth member must be 10 years old to enter the range.  Non-FOB LDFGA members are not allowed in the range, due to liability concerns and there are costs associated with running this range and those are paid for with the purchase of these FOBs. IF you are currently a regular LDFGA member and want to do some shooting, you can purchase an Outdoor FOB membership at the local gun shops.

Please be respectful of our range rules as they are in accordance with the Canadian Firearms Act. Anyone not following the range rules will be subject to suspension or may have their membership revoked.

The LDFGA Executive promotes the use of all our facilities, but operation of these facilities must be done in a manner that minimizes the risk to the club, as these are considered high risk activities, but with the members following the rules and being a part of a positive approach to this activity, we all can succeed in a safe enjoyable environment.

Irresponsible and Dangerous Firearm Use

Irresponsible and dangerous use of firearms continues to occur at our Outdoor Range. A bullet hole in a neighboring oil tank; shooters regularly using solid targets such as metal or rocks; reports of the firing line not being respected are all serious concerns.

The Chief Firearms Officer of Sask. inspects and licenses our range and has certified it to be safe if it is used as designed. We must be able to ensure that no bullets leave the boundaries of the range. The berms and cave-like enclosures ensure this when used properly. There MUST NOT BE ANY SHOOTING above the backstop boards or at objects on the ground or off the range. Shooting at metal, rock or hard targets almost always results in ricochets off range. If there are complaints from area residents or continuing incidents, we could easily lose our license and be shut down.

ANY ACTS OF ILLEGAL, DANGEROUS, OR IRRESPONSIBLE USE OF RANGE FACILITIES, OR ACTS OF VANDALISM OR DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE AND PERMANENT REVOCATION OF MEMBERSHIP AND BANISHMENT FROM LLOYDMINSTER & DISTRICT FISH & GAME PROPERTY, AS WELL AS CRIMINAL CODE, FIREARMS ACT, AND CIVIL CHARGES.
