    Need help finding a place to shoot southern Ontario

    Hello everyone, I'm pretty new to shooting and I just picked up a 30-06 and I live in Toronto. I'm a member of the OFAH and I'm having a hard time finding a spot to shoot my rifle. I'm not a member at any of the local ranges and I was just wondering if anyone knew of a safe spot I could pass a few rounds through my rifle to get it zeroed. Any advice/help on the matter is greatly appreciated!

    Not too many people are willing to give up their favorite shooting spots... they tend to see more and more shooters and eventually shooting gets banned there.

    I would suggest putting your name in at the Oshawa Skeet and Gun Club - http://www.oshawaskeetandgunclub.ca/ - as the have a pistol and rifle range as well shotgun.

    I moved to Toronto a couple of years ago and I still haven't found an affordable place to shoot. I mean Toronto really isn't affordable period, but some of the range fees here are nuts. It's also hard finding a place that is taking on new members.

    If anyone has any options I'm all ears.

    They aren't taking new members and they do not use a waiting list.

    Perhaps check out Silverdale in the Niagara region. A bit of a drive but at least they welcome guests - good to zero in your gun.
