    Rifle range within an hour of Hamilton for non-members

    Hello all,

    now that Silverdale no longer allows non members and there's a waiting list to get in, are there any other options within an hour of Hamilton that you all would recommend.
    I got a headache trying to read through the forums where most recommendationa are a couple years old (including Silverdale that I tried after reading the recommendations).
    I'd really just like to find a place I could take my sks.
    Thanks for your replies in advance.

    i think your out of luck unless you know someone who has a membership at Silverdale - there is a range out in Dunnville that may be cheaper than Silverdale for a membership

    Save the gas and see about Hamilton Angler and Hunters. yea they may not be taking new members, but ask. They can be sorta funny there but its close.

    Likely your best option. If you had a silvercore membership and had taken their online range safety course that *might* qualify for going to triggers and bows. They allow non-members, but you need to be a member somewhere who has taken a range safety course.
