Buffalo Target Shooters Association

The Buffalo Target Shooters Association (BTSA) is primarily a handgun club, based in Calgary, Alberta, and is a member group of the Alberta Provincial Rifle Association (APRA).

BTSA members use the Steve Johnson Range (SJR) in northeast Calgary, and several range facilities (50-metre and 200-metre) at the APRA's Homestead facility in Kananaskis country. (see Ranges section)

The Steve Johnson range is rated for handguns of any calibre, black powder rifles and .22 rimfire rifles. No centrefire rifles or shotguns may be shot at this range.

The range facilities we oversee at Homestead are configured for handgun, any calibre, black powder, rimfire rifle and centrefire rifle, up to .338 Lapua.
