just came back from up north where they dont have a restricted indoor range. only a 700m rifle range and 10 outdoor pistol benches! had me some fun! shot watermelons at 700m, hanging gongs,and just enjoyed the freedom of actually shooting a restricted outdoors.my handguns were overjoyed to see the sun and trees.the AR was a little nervous at first but she settled right in after she got used to the outdoors. 500rds .223, 400rds 9mm, 450rds .40 and yes to all you out there this is a legal registered restricted range.

Welcome to the rest of the world!:p
 
Where are you from?
My AR's have never been shot indoors.
Why aren't there many outdoor ranges certified for restricted?

Glad to hear your AR's and pistols finally got some fresh air.

Uhm, Ranges are certified for calibers not restricted or non restricted. A range that you can't shoot restricted firearms on isn't really a range, it's an empty piece of land with a permissive landowner. Being able to shoot restricted firearms is what makes a place a range. At the risk of sounding redundant.

It's important to remember that given how legislation is currently written, neither the CFO nor any member of his office has the authority to tell you where you can or cannot shoot non restricted firearms.

From the wording of the OP it sounded like he had to travel to find an outdoor range where he could shoot his restricted rifles outdoors.
It sounded weird to me as well but I just thought it might be a different province thing. I know that here in Alberta any certified range is good for restricted and non restricted but some clubs don't allow the use of .50BMG due to the increased requirements and costs to set up appropriate back stops.
I take mine to all clubs I either know people at where I can go as a guest or can pay a drop in fee for the day (usually for around $10 a day) as well as my home club. I don't have much desire to shoot indoors so I usually don't.
 
Most of the ranges I know if here in ON are a) Outdoor b) approved for restricted. Generally if it is a CFO approved rifle range it is outdoors and good to go for restricteds.

All depends on what the club wants to apply for I think.

Good for you for taking your AR long. Just for fun I might take my 20 inch rifle to a long range practice this season, as long as we are not only shooting at 1000. I don't think my 68 grain loads are going to stay supersonic at that distance.
