The Swiss Rifle Club Tell is comprised of active shooters who derive enjoyment from precision target shooting on our 300 meters (328 yards) rifle range using club supplied rifles (you can purchase your own) The older generation of shooters prefer to use the WW2 Schmidt-Rubin K31 as illustrated below. Where as the younger shooters prefers to use the latest model a SIG PE90.

Our 300 meter (328 yards) range "The Homestead Range" is situated approximately 40 minutes west of Calgary in Kananaskis Country, located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Members enjoy modern facilities such as a heated and enclosed shooting building with an electronic targeting system, a big club house, washroom facilities, a pistol shooting building with targets ample parking and the camaraderie and relaxed atmosphere our particular shooting sport provides.
