with me or something?? 
lol lol I think i know the club your talking about and if it is im a member of it . and yes you have to put 20 rounds on a traget that we call the bed sheet because it so dam big(not your standard size target).Now the 20 rounds can be anywhere on the target what there looking for is to see how tight your group is and the reason they make you do that with different cal is so that so dont go out there with a 44mag first time and shoot the S&$@ out of the walls and roof like alot people have done in the passed but you knew what the rules of the club were befor you join up
.I think you should sit down with Ken the next thur night your there and get things right he will be happy to explain things to you or if you like you can PM me ill answer any of your questionsps. dues are $345 year and $350 one time fee and the roof alittle more then 6' 1""

Thats a little much.....try looking for a new club?
This thread is a little outdated, But I have to chime in. I belong to three clubs in GTA area including aurora, The qualification is not hard at all. And once you qualify at hitting a bed sheet at 25 meters within your twelve probie shoots with a .22, you can do it your first night! and move on to a larger caliber with their firearms. the idea is to take your time and not be a banger when shooting and develop your skills being new to shooting for most probies. They encourage fun and mostly safety. .22 is a very dirty gun and you get FTF, FTE. and it makes great sense to pratice that alot before graduating to larger calibers for newbies. OP I assumed you qualified? with the .22 why did you not use the club gun larger caliber until you finished your 12 probie shoots? I have seen 8yr olds hit the bed sheet at full range anywhere on the the sheet to qualify. after you finished only 12 signed in shoots you have proved you had handled the probie shoots safely they will issue your membership and your ATT quickly. the ceilings are much higher that 6ft 1inch, lol come on stop the bashing. every time I go there it is a very friendly range. And I hate to mention the shooting sports are meant for accuracy, lol. not hitting a 2x4 target at 15ft. like police practice. lol Clubs like positive people not negative people.
CSSA recommends a club level handgun safety course, including marksmanship skills, then put 10/10 on a letter-sized target at 10 yards. This helps to ensure that you are in control, will keep shots on the berm at 25 yards, and hopefully won't damage electric-retrieved target equipement. Not too difficult after several coaching sessions with an instructor's handguns, including .22, .38, 9mm, .45(both sa and da revolvers & semi-auto). Should be interesting, challenging. & fun.
My club runs an ATT course before they apply for your ATT. The course was created by CSSA and is approved for many other clubs. It was 4 hours, a small written test and a bit of range orientation. Mostly safety stuff & no "probation crap". After that, you are good to go. Anything else is just a bunch of control freak BS...

I would have to agree.. some places go bonkers with all sorts of lunacy... and bear in mind while the CSSA did help create a course not everyone uses it. (Nor do they have to by law) and for those with experience any club can at their own choice exempt someone from their particular course other than basic orientation for safety and the particular club's rules etc.
btw Hiya Awol.. long time no see

Did you get your ATT stuff sorted out yet?

LOL Nope not yet... that is an ongoing fight as I'm sure you are aware that I, Cyclone and a few others are involved in with the CFO's BS. It's anything but a quick fight though with much political BS involved.
I am a range officer at all my clubs and agree with you fully, in order for you to have insurance unless the club has there own you must qualify with the CSSA standard course very simple firearm knowledge and club rules which vary from club to club as of different range configurations. should be interesting, challenging and fun. we all have to stick together in this very political sport and keep it safe so no reason to bash it.

Indeed.. friends of mine are RO's as well.. and I'd have to say it's mostly about common sense. There will sadly always be idiots.. but those aside the basics even for a newbie (like my wife was / is) is not very hard if you use common sense.
As for sticking together.. that is an understatement. w/o #'s we really are just targets.. but with #'s we can be something to pay very close attention to for the politicians.
(And no more lunacy like what OFAH pulled years ago..
)One thing we have to look at is not control freak thing, Our Hobby is firearms and they are lethal if not used in a certain manner. it takes alot of experience to become very comfortable with different calibers. banging off a .22 and you get a squib, not a huge deal. do that with a larger caliber pistol or revolver have a projectile in the barrel and squeeze off another round it takes experience to not pull that trigger when you hear that primer pop. incidences create stronger safety rules. Through my yrs I have seen many bad habits that lead to accidents. Accidents give your club a bad name, not the individual who forgot or just did not relax and go through the very basics. I can go on and on with this subject.
clubs have rules and they must be followed, If that club is not for you find one that suites your needs. bottom line is that you want to have fun and hit what you are pointing at. takes longer for some than others. harder to do with factory ammo and larger caliber.

everyone in this sport has to participate if they enjoy the sport and their rights. Very easy for the rights to be taken away if no one speaks up, But hey we are canadians we usually just go with the flow. and ##### about it to ourselves.

Potentially lethal yes.. but so can riding a motorcycle (which I do) as well as many other sports / hobbies.. hell even the daily commute in a car can be lethal.. (and causes far more deaths by far to say the least)
Hence why the 'control freak" aspect. Common sense and safety yes. But many places go so far overboard with rules that make no sense it's beyond not funny. For example the inane "only 5 rounds can be loaded at once" rule that some clubs have. There is zero basis for that in reality for safety.. even for those using an SKS for example which can in certain circumstances "bump fire" but does not make it "full auto" by any means. Unfortunately some clubs have also gone overboard with rules that make no sense in an effort to kiss wyatt's ass (and his ilk).. instead of banding together and standing up to the CFO's BS.
Simple fact is by cowing down to the CFO they only help him/her with their own agenda and we all loose in the end.
