Stitsville Range question!!

What would be wrong in what I wrote??

The cost for the membership is not $600, as JakFrost said earlier......Let's not argue about a couple of bucks :) It's around $300 and not $600.

/end ;)

...the membership is not 600.....That price includes your new member's course, your one-year membership AND your CSSA membership for that same year.

It sounded like you were saying that the membership alone was not 600, but the 600 included everything.....
Like I said, I assumed it was just the wording...


Anyway....moving on, Did you and Ray get a moose?
 
sorry to hear that Ben....good for the other guy though.
I was in Gaspe again this year. Luckily had a cow tag this year, because that's all I saw. She's in the freezer now. :)
 
f:P:

There is really only 2 accurate facts in this post...

1) A yearly single membership does work out to 293.60 AFTER the Tax & CSSA has been added to it.

2) There is a mandatory safety course. (there is no point explaining why we have it on here at this time)

When I list the courses on the web store I do list what is included in them (Don't be afraid to click things)

There is no "emphases on handgun and 'tactical weapons'" at EOSC.. until recently we did not own enough land to expand the rifle ranges any further, so what else do you do with your space? Build multi-use bays. we now have 7 with more planned for the expansion (I've seen everything in use on them.. shotguns, Rifles & Handguns) 50 yards isn't a bad distance, and they are all good for 30-06 class rifles...

In the last 2 years we have doubled our club membership size and the land owner has doubled the land we sit on.. there is no "Wish" here. It's in the construction plans, it will be happening as far as we know.

Right now they ( EOSC ) are at 200yds. A friend just returned from a weekend 'mandatory' safety course, required for all new members, and inquired for me while he was there, as to the substance of the above mentioned rumour of expansion. His take was that it is something the membership would like to do...but given the emphases on handgun and 'tactical weapons' the shorter ranges are a priority. Not much of a push behind the 'wish' for longer ranges. They may get an expansion on the number of stands at the 200yd but until some serious effort, ( translation: 'volunteer' effort ), gets behind the 'longer' range wish, it doesn't seem much will happen in the near future.

Plus the cost of a new membership is over $600.00 including the new member 'safety' course, ( 306.60 for the course, 293.60 one year membership, + 28.25 for new membership 'fee'...total $627.85 )...which is a little steep for me...for 200yds.

I'll wait till they actually do the extension, meanwhile Stittsville will have to do. Plus I like the setup there, pretty friendly bunch.

PS Of course there is always this option:

Some pretty interesting ideas posted there, :)

Thanks Drew!


When I quoted $328 in post 16, I had forgotten while there is no additional cost for the family membership, there is an increased cost due to the family CSSA membership which I pay.
The single membership cost is as Drew stated.

200 is closed for repairs/modifications :-(

I heard something about the 300 being closed as well. BS complaints from local homeowners more than a reasonable distance away complaining about noise amd even in some cases bullet strikes on their property.... It's bs.... especially for someone like me who is nomadic between Petawawa and Carleton Place. At the moment it is not feasible for a membership so I want to get my $25.00 worth and I wont if I am going there to shoot my long gun at 100m.

Ben....I'm assuming you worded that wrong...
The cost including everything is 328.60 for a full year not including the new member's course.
The prices listed with each course is pro-rated and include the safety course.

I will also add...the family membership is the same price.
It also includes all disciplines.

At Stittsville that would be $550 for one person...$650 for family.

It's EOSC's family plan that allows us to shoot otherwise we would be SOL..

300y is open. The reason it was closed was because of apparent shots heard overhead on the trans Canada trailway behind the ranges by runners.
 
Is the CFO making EOSC build these ridiculous contraptions/baffles?

Smiths Falls has two on the 200y range now.
 
Wired leader said:
Are these being installed due to requests by CFO?
Click to expand...

Yup. 200y range was closed until these were installed. At the 200y positions, you must shoot...under...the baffle. Nothing at the 100y positions. I helped assemble the newer one, and they are full of gravel, and the two vertical planks you see in the middle....they are there to cover the lag bolt heads....because an errant round could hit the little head and ricochet all the way to the Parliament Buildings.....:bangHead:

Next the CFO is going to make us wear helmets when we shoot....damn, I shouldn't be giving them ideas.
 
Why would it be coming?

There's absolutely nothing behind the rifle range in terms of housing or commercial buildings. It's the Laforest forest...

I've been to ranges where these were installed on the full width of the ranges, but they were located close(r) to properties. There must be a determining factor that mandates their installation.

That is what I am assuming. There have been complaints of bullets making it to the 417 in the case of the Stittsville Range. As for the Smiths Fall Range I looked at Google maps and the resolution is poor, but there appears to be a clearing not far past one of the ranges.

Part of the story at Stittsville is that the day the CFO showed up to investigate the supposedly errant bullets (load of BS afaic), there were some no. of ppl standing and resting their rifle on the top of the frame that is supposed to be the "keep your muzzle below this height" marker. So obviously they were shooting with the muzzle too high and I guess the CFO just snapped and now they have to have baffles in case anyone aims too high like that again.
 
Reminds me of when the Federal 'range air quality' inspectors came around our indoor location in Montreal, and announced that due to the high lead content of the 'range air' there would be a ban on centerfire and all rimfire would have to use only 'jacketed bullets'. Hmmm, where to find jacketed .22 target rounds...It was the beginning of the end for a number of small recreational ranges, some of whom had members in their 80's who had been there since the beginning.
Sold all my competition handguns a year later, while there was still a market for them.

Seems the trend continues...Florida is looking pretty good :).
