    Your range looks very nice though, and 24/7 as well. Reasonable pricing too. Good job on that. Cheaper too than my outdoor range that I can shoot on only twice weekly for a combined 13 hours they are open. C’mon 24 hour Ottawa range!!!
    That basement range is a horrible range... i drive the 50 minutea to cornwall. Less headache even if a slightly longer drive time

    " If you are referring to CRAFM I think that they are planning that, get in touch with them "
    No. I was referring to Triggers And Bows. It looks like a really nice range, in a really good location.

    A winter IPSC match would sell out very quickly there.

    Totally agree. I never understood the philosophy behind this. So you want me to join, but you are going to charge me, because you don't trust me? If your going to force ANOTHER safety course on people, why charge people for it? A lot of people see these as a red flag for ranges, just my opinion.

    I suppose you think that the people who train work for free and have food magically show up on their dinner tables at night.

    Spent a couple summers doing 20+ hours a week as a range officer. Trust me, the liability mitigation of range-specific training and screening is worth every penny and potential lost member. It's a seller's market for ranges, and there's some pretty hazardous buyers out there.

    We hold IPSC TRAINING here, however our members participate in the matches at other ranges at this time.
