Least expensive restricted range membership?
Where in the Calgary region has the least expensive membership (or 'associate membership) that will satisfy the powers that be? I'm looking for bare minimum as I've not been out shooting restricteds for some time, just looking to appease the paperwork bogeyman.

I believe Calgary Shooting Center is under a $100.00 a year. Last year I looked into not renewing my full membership and it was $75 or so.

I'm aware of them, though I'm curious of some of the clubs in smaller towns near Calgary where their rent is much lower. It could be a good thread to keep going for people throughout the province.

There's only 2 places in Calgary that sell associate memberships.
CSC & TSE
When I first bought mine, it was $50. That was just before CSC even existed.
Last time I inquired about renewing it @ TSE (~2yrs ago), it had gone up to $60 which was the same price as CSC.

Crowsnest Mountain Gun club is 40.00 or 45.00 for a full membership.
Sparwood(B.C) is 40.00 for a full membership.

Check out Brooks. It's a little bit of a drive but not horrible. I'm not sure if they do restricted there.
If that's not an option, Medicine Hat Rifle and Revolver club is great. It's $100 a year, family is included, enclosed pistol bays, 25, 50, and 100 yard rifle and then a separate 200-300 yard range. It makes a good little day trip should you want to go shooting.

So from what I understand from this post an AHEIA membership for $30 will satisfy the requirements as a range membership for long term transport permit for restricted firearms?

That is correct, it gives you access to their restricted approved range so that covers the legalities. Whether you actually ever make the drive to use their range is another matter entirely. That it also is a good organization that educates hunters and provides outdoor advocacy is just icing on the cake. I posted this thread 3.5 years ago and the membership has sufficed for the CFO for a number of restricted purchases since.

They send a membership card in the mail, takes a week or two to process and get to you.
The AHEIA range is at Alford Lake west of Caroline, you can call the camp and talk to the manager on site and find a time to get out to the range as well.
