Range Burlington?

Clubs

Silverdale is way better! you don't have to attend a bunch of stupid shooting nights that no one gives a rat's crap about (black powder, silhouette, etc.) plus 25-200 meters to choose from and you're not limited to 9 lanes.

I'm also a member at Silverdale and can recommend it. While there is no indoor range they are fully equipped so to speak and that includes an onsite store in the name of Lantz Shooting Supplies.

My second club is Waterford which is also a great place to be. We have an indoor range there and shoot IPSC. The outdoor ranges for shotgun, rifle and pistol are very good.

Both these clubs are much less "formal" than Burlington which appeals to me.
 
I'm currently on the waiting list for burlington as well. signed up at the beginning of january and have to wait till the summer to take their range course.

at least for the time being i also go to silverdale and i love it there. i might end up staying and forgetting the burlington one

That's what I ended up doing, everyone I've talked to felt like Burlington was full of prima donna's and snob's. Silverdale just seemed to me like a much better all around club

I'm slightly confused. If I join the leagues at Burlington (I'm interested in Pistol, IPSC, PPC, and Silohuette) then I will be able to shoot on those days and times right?

Of course. And once you are a member of the Club joining a league doesn't involve much more than signing up and finding out which relay, squad, etc. you will shoot with, and paying a modest fee (basically for targets) each time you attend.

Our joining process includes the classroom and range portions (typically referred to as the safety course) and a probation period (between one week and six months, depending on your availability) in which new members attend each of the leagues as observers. During this the director or designate explains the details of each league so you will know what to expect, when to show up, how much to pay, what equipment is used, and anything else you want to ask about the league.

It looks nice but doesn't Burlington focus more on pistols? I won't be shooting anything else so having archery, skeet, and trap access aren't important to me.

I will put money down that this quickly changes!!!

Like I said earlier, I thought the exact same. :rolleyes:

You spend enough time here and you will begin to like many other things, and want to branch out, and this is simply not possible at Burlington. This is why most members there also have members elsewhere.

I started in this only a few years ago, and all I wanted to do was get into the tactical stuff. :ninja:

My gun safe now contains several rifles, for both hunting and target shooting, including an Enfield and a Mosin Nagant. There is a couple shotguns for trap deer, and geese, but only one tactical shotgun. I also own 4 handguns at this present time, and only 2 of them are 50+ years old, one is a cowboy gun, and the only tactical gun is a Beretta.

So of the 11 guns I currently own(had to sell a bunch) only 3 would have ever been considered by my former self. That was only a few years ago.
 
BRRC is a great club. I've been a member for 9 years now.

Pro's: - 24/7
- shooting the disciplines
- $ value!
- organized yet friendly

Cons - operated by volunteers therefore you have to either be patient or pitch in

It takes a long time to get vthe safety course because there's so many new members coming on all the time. Wittnessing each discipline (6) seems a pain but for me anyway it was agreat thing because now I participate in some that I wouldn't have otherwise.

With that in mind I've decided to visit Galt this Sunday. I've been PM'ing many other forum members and all the feedback has been pretty positive. I can also choose to join other sections/disciplines at a later date (For a fee of course, lol)

Just be aware that not all sections at Galt can be joined. Unless something has changed recently, some of the sections have self-imposed membership caps. You might be in for a surprise.
