About Swiss Rifle Club Calgary
12 acres of wilderness, 45 minutes from Calgary, where Swiss marksmanship traditions thrive on the Canadian frontier.
The Swiss Rifle Club Calgary (SRCC) is a not for profit organization operated entirely by our volunteer members and is part of the Alberta Provincial Rifle Association.
Started in the mid 1970's, the club consisted primarily of Swiss Canadians who wished to practice the traditional shooting programs found in Switzerland. Over time, the membership grew to include people who were non Swiss so that today it is more representative of most shooting clubs.
The club has a rifle range with target positions at 50, 100, 200 and 300m where you can shoot rifles up to .338 caliber and a 25m handgun range for up to .45 caliber. Our club emphasizes training and ongoing shooter education in a friendly, safe and clean environment.

Safety, Governance & Community
Safety First
Safety is the absolute, non-negotiable priority at the SRCC. All new members must complete a mandatory safety orientation before their first range visit.
Member-Run Governance
The SRCC is governed by an elected executive board (President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Range Safety Officer) and operated entirely by dedicated member volunteers. All major decisions are made at the Annual General Meeting, where every member has a vote.
Range Access
Range access is managed through our online reservation system to ensure safe capacity levels at all times. The range operates daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM (or dusk, whichever is earlier). Members can book bays in advance through the member portal.
