A short note on memberships:

If you do not have, a 2024 membership card, in your hands, your membership is not complete!

Just because you sent your EMT for your annual membership payment, does not mean it is immediately active.  You must wait until you receive your 2024 membership card before you attempt to use the range. Your gate card will not work until it gets turned on; it will be activated a couple of days after your card is mailed.

If you have not received a confirmation email from “membership,” then your membership application or renewal is still in the email inbox and has not yet been looked at.


Finally, please do not email membership unless you have not received your membership card after at least three weeks from your application or renewal. More emails mean more time to read them, which means longer to get your membership.

Email all membership complaints to [email protected], and they will dealt with with in a timely fashion.

 

Always check the online calendar BEFORE heading to the range!

Today CHAS members are of diverse ages, backgrounds, and ethnicities. Club members include everyone from students, homemakers, farmers and Armed Forces members to realtors, teachers, doctors and accountants.

CHAS undertakes a wide variety of activities throughout the year. In addition to hosting monthly meetings, hosting a web site, and supporting a number of local charities, the club provides access to outdoor ranges for its members to encourage active participation in shooting sports. CHAS owns the Genesee outdoor range southwest of Edmonton which is one of the best outdoor shooting facilities in the region. The club also hosts a number of shooting leagues and events at the range.
