Does anyone know any good crown land shooting spots outside of Saskatoon?

What are you wanting to shoot? 22lr, or shooting clays with shotguns, you could probably use a ducks unlimited spot.

Thank you for your reply. I'm looking to shoot .22 and clays with a 12ga as well.

Looking into ducks unlimited, it says locations are open to trapping and hunting. I'd imagine that includes shooting as well?

Another question: Im new to PAL ownership, how does one shoot clays out of the air legally? I know that shooting generally you need to shoot into the ground, but since there are no mountains in Sask how can you shoot clays out of the air in a manner that would not potentially endanger someone?

If you are using target loads, your pellets will not travel very far. Likely less than 100m.

Oh, ok no need to worry about that then, thanks.

Do I need to worry about RM laws, even if the ducks unlimited land does not say no hunting? How can I find an appropriate backstop for .22 lr if the land is very flat? My apologies, I'm new to gun ownership.
