I'll be spending three or four days in Calgary shortly. Are there any hunting related stops I should make during my free time?

Inquiring minds want to know.

If you are into trap and skeet try out the Calgary Firearms Center on the South side. Great place to spend an evening.
 
The times I was there for work, I always tried to make the drive drive west to visit Banff and Lake Louise. No hunting shops, but some of the most amazing places I've ever been.

Make sure your vehicle/phone has GPS. Calgary is not an easy place to negotiate for someone who's unfamiliar. Typical for a big city built around a meandering river.

Should be a number of Japanese restaurants there. An entertaining culinary experience.
 
Sadly, the "hunting" stores around here are about the same as anywhere. BOX: Cabelas, Basspro. Independent: Shooting Center, Proline Shooters, etc.
Others have already noted some of the touristy stuff to do around Calgary.

For sure, i have a buddy that does guided trips on the Bow. He knows that river like that back of his hand.
I've fished the Bow both above and below Calgary. Great fishing. If I had to make a choice, I'd go with the upper Bow as it was I caught my largest ever Brown trout.

A must do in Calgary is the Calgary indoor shooting centre.
You can hire handguns or rifles and have a ball at their indoor range.
My son and I had a real blast.
Good value for money

It’s been a while since I visited, but Head smashed in buffalo jump was very cool. Definitely take in some events at The Stampede and equestrian events at spruce meadows.
@Atticus.
Head smashed in was very educational and a great insight into first nations life.
I also got to sit and watch some garter snakes okay in the garden. I was told that's very unusual to see.
