And those "first year costs" are too much for 50m open air range IMO - 100 for course plus 600 "initiation fee' plus 45 annually for insurance...
so like or hate TSC is the only option for me for now in York region.
Out of all clubs Silverdale is the best (price/range distances) just too damn far...
CCFR CSSA
Cant say enough about how good
Gagnons is.
Good people, clean range and modern.
I own a share at Sharon gun club .I am thinking about renting my share since I have not been able to make the time to go and shoot.
what would be a fair price in your opinion .
After being a Full Member at TSC the last 8yrs I switched to Associate Status(M-F) this past year. Haven't shot/been back in almost a year now.
Why?
Although TSC has made some cosmetic and mechanical upgrades the poor ventilation always left me with a sweet taste in the back of my throat after an hour shooting. The air quality got so bad in the Summer heat/humidity that I never went. I'm no Doctor but it can't be good if your spit has black soot in it.
As a Full Member I shot mostly on the weekends allowed access to the lanes (first). However, some of the Lanes(usually 2) were tapped off/reserved for the "walk-ins". At a certain time (11am?) the "walk-ins" would pour in 4-6 at a time with a RO and their cell taking pics and vids. I have nothing to hide but I didn't appreciate getting in a few of them and I'm sure some of the other Members felt the same way. I've voiced my opinion to the Staff to no avail.
To add insult to injury some of the available lanes had defective target returns.
While the RO's did their best I still saw some fk'd up handling of firearms by the Noobs. I learnt to pack my stuff up when they arrived.
The Good is the Retail area. Lots of "toy" and accessories. However, the counter staff would often be too busy horsing around with each other using language and talking about topics that I found offensive (and I'm no angel) especially not in public and representing a Business.
Long winded rant over.......btw I've been shooting at Barrie GC with a buddy who's a Member. It's worth the drive IMO.
