Default Where to sight Bow

Is there anywhere around Edmonton you can sight a bow in for longer ranges, 30-100 yards? All the ranges around town only have 20 yard ranges.

A couple of the fish and game clubs have outdoor archery butts for members, SPFGA goes out to 50m and a general membership gets you access to archery range, you just can't use the rifle range.

Parkland Bowbenders has a couple 3d loops and a range not sure of the exact distance but it is 50-60 yards I would guess.

Go buy a target and shoot on a dead end lease road provided there is a safe back stop.
