Hi All

I live in downtown TO and am looking for a good range. Went to Target with a friend and liked it ok, just wondering others thoughts.

Garbage, don't waste your time. ###### owner, air is filled with lead, and the employees are goons.

Get a share at Sharon and be among good people.

It's likely one of the few ranges currently accepting new members but there are pros and cons as with all things.
The pros are: IPSC and IDPA nights so lots of opportunity to practice; attached retail store; indoor so comfortable year-round.
The cons: lots of casual, untrained, walk-in customers; bad ventilation resulting in tangible effect on blood lead levels, only 25 m distances, only 2 ranges.

$15,000 for the ability to buy an annual membership doesn’t sit well with some people. I don’t doubt he’ll be among good people... some of the finest chaps in the land, I’m sure.

Sharon sounds nice and I am moving that way in the fall/spring. Maybe I will try and buy a share on Saturdays like the site says. Any idea what they go for?

So if I am shooting mostly my PCC and WK Target isn't great for long distance. Website says it has had a new ventilation Reno, maybe I will just go check it out as I am headed to tenda today anyway. I work odd hours and days so it would be mostly weekday shooting for me.

Thanks for the info guys

Shares are currently selling for between $12000.00 & $15000.00. They are usually posted on the club house bulletin board. Come for a visit on Saturday morning & have a look.

I am a member at targetsports.
No complaints. I come and shoot often, ipsc and idpa nights every week if you want.
Good experience all the time.
It could get crowded at peak hours but I never had a problem finding a lane.
It is not run like a club, it is run like a business and I like it better that way. I never wanted to put up with all the silly club nonsense.

Target Sports is not a real club/range its a for profit retail shop trying to make as much money as possible. The facilities are old and dangerous, the staff are rude and incompetent, and the owner lives in Alberta and doesn't care. He even tried to get people to buy the place so he could walk away. The owner is also responsible for the whole Swiss Arms reclassification, he is defiantly not someone you want to support by giving your money.

Sharon is nice but you have to buy a share, which I think are above $10,000 now, Barrie is probably the best club within 1 hour of Toronto, but the waiting list is years long.

There is a club opening soon in Innisfil you could check out: https://www.tirpc.ca/

At target sports walk-ins are first priority, members are second class customers. Don't waste your time.

If you are willing to drive to barrie, then BlueRidge can be considered as well.. they are are still accepting members, but it is a smaller club and only outdoor ranges
