The Lethbridge Fish and Game Association Shooting Range is recognized as one of the finest outdoor shooting ranges in western Canada. It has attracted a variety of individuals and user groups, including shooting clubs, the local police force, government personnel, and Summer Games organizers and participants. It has attracted a fair number of new members to the LFGA.

Looking at it from left to right you will see Range 6 (Shotgun), Ranges 3-5 (.22 & Handgun), Range 2 (Big Bore), and Range 1 (Archery).

 

The LFG Range is open to all LFGA members during daylight hours. Remember, an LFG Range Officer must be present on the range you are using (except archery). LFG Range Officers have entry cards for the gate.

 

The 2008 Range Schedule is updated on a regular basis.  You may wish to check the schedule to make sure the range you wish to use is available.

 

Although the range surpasses required safety requirements, the LFGA Executive has a set of Range Safety Protocols to further public safety.

 

Other documents pertaining to the new methods of operation down at the Range include:

  • Range Operating Instructions, which cover the use of the Range facility.
  • Range Safety Protocols, revised since the closing of the Range.
  • The role of the LFGA Range Officer, including duties and responsibilities.
  • The Pre-Booking Hazard Assessment, which is a requisite for booking the Range for any activity.
  • The Range Access Agreement, the agreement for Range Officers to sign in order to be given the "key" for accessing the Range.
  • The LFG Range Incident Report, a new document prepared at the request of LFG Range Officers.
