Shooting Looking for friends lol

I'm in southern Alberta newish to the area, looking for any groups or just people that go out and shoot that are newer shooter friendly! I'm a member at the Lethbridge range but sadly not taber and have kinda taught myself everything I do know(not much and am new to scopes as in onterrible we just used irons) If anyone's interested hit up! I'm probably gonna go out tomorrow since I just zero'd my new rifle today and want to see about hitting the 300 mark a little more reliably lol

Out of curiosity how come "onterrible" use irons and not scopes like Alberta? is there some different regulations or is it just not common for some reason?

Probably because they dont have many ranges with extended distances

Lol the reply is more less correct some people do but if you do go hunting there you're usually in the bush so you can't see as far so spending 1000+ on an optic is more of a luxury than a necessity
