Meeting place for Newbies and Mentors - Maritimes

This organization use to have a range day at Petiticodiac Sportsmans Club. That would work for guys who want to get together once a year. If Petiticodiac doesn't have their range day we could have something on Saturday and on Sunday. Just something to think about for next year 2014.

I am needing to train up myself for moose season this year. I am on the Broad Rd. just outside oromocto. Give me a call if your going out this summer. I have a Rem .270 that needs a little coaching before the fall hunts.:canadaFlag: And I am at CFMSE for work in the WFE Cell.

I was thinking of joining...


I heard you needed to be voted in?
 
Newbie in Upper Sackville, Nova Scotia. Member of MVRRC. Own a SAM Sigma 9 9mm. Looking for the best place to purchase ammo. So far Hnatiuk's Hunting & Fishing Ltd. is the cheapest I have been able to find. If any other members of CGN have any recommendations, would appreciate hearing from you. Have checked just about everywhere on line and off!
Thanks,
Jan
 
So is it true that you can get ammo at the AMA at a cheaper price. This is my first gun so I need 9mm luger, 115grain, full metal jacket. Would you have any info on what they would charge for a bulk purchase. Willing to buy 1000 round. Look forward to hearing from you, and Thank You for the welcoming!

I visited the store in Elmsdale, not a bad little selection. My buddy found a really nice deal on a used model 94, 30-30.

If anyone's looking to pass on their hunting wisdom near Oromocto, NB, I'm all ears. Been shooting for almost 5 years but I'm hoping 2010 will be my first year out hunting (anything from rabbit to moose!).

Hey there 40,
I cannot say I have wisdom in much but nice to know that there are NBers on here but we can pool the knowledge if you like. I am looking to be a 22lr and .223 rifle owner and the only hunting I want to get into is yotes. Predator hunting looks like a challenge and fun to get right.
 
Hey all,

I've been into long guns for a long time but recently received my RPAL in the mail. So pumped! It wasn't even a hugely painful process, the worst was harassing one of my references until she finally called in.

Now I'm in the Antigonish area and have no real Restricted experience so I'm looking for someone willing to show me the ropes. Perhaps someone who belongs to the Saint Mary's Shooter Association as I am interested in joining. Maybe we could head up to beach hill some weekend and squeeze a few rounds off and talk about gun stuff. I'm more than willing to buy a couple boxes of rounds.

A little about me:
I'm a 24 year old guy, work for DND, lived in Antigonish all my life, all right I'm terrible at talking about myself but message me if you're willing to talk guns.

Also I'm interested in reloading if you're into that sort of thing.

Hi all.

I'm in Kingston, NS and about to do my non-restricted course and get my PAL. Anyone have recent knowledge on processing times for new PALs?

I'm planning to get a bolt action rifle probably in .270 Win. A buddy of mine here is doing the same (but prob .308) and he and I will be looking for range time or target shooting on private land for practice later this year. Also help on finding a nice gun club with range access would be cool.

Any offers would be well received. We aren't loonies, honest! :xes

Cheers for now.
 
Hi All,

I just finished and have been issued my PAL. Taking the next available RPAL in September, so hopefully by year's end, I can have these both sorted out.

I'm looking for recommendations in the Moncton area for ranges that are Tactical gun friendly. Doesn't seem to be much for options - Moncton Fish and Game and Petitcodiac Sportsman's Club. If ayone has expoerience with either or any other close suggestions, I'm all ears!

Thanks in advance for the help.
Jared
 
Moncton, NB, home-study to challenge the safety course for my PAL. If anyone is around, I'd like to have the chance to run through PROVE with a rifle, as well as get out to the range to try one.
I've had the opportunity to use both handguns and shotguns in Houston, but we didn't have enough time left to do rifles there, as much as I wanted to.

I'd be willing to buy one or two boxes of ammo for my mentor, as well as their coffee for the time they spend on me.
 
New to shooting

Hey everyone got a my PAL around the start of summer, Recently ordered a Bolt Action rifle, as I intent to get into hunting deer in the new few years. (might be going out with someone this year to see what its like)
Been looking at ranges around Halifax, NS, but none have jumped out, Dont mind driving abit to get to one.
Also no one i know (thats close to me) shoots. My brother is applying for the RCMP, so Id like to get him out. I used a .22 Many years ago at a indoor range in Halifax with a friend.
 
Hey everybody, I just joined this site. I`m in Pictou County and have my PAL for non-restricted and restricted. I own a single shot 22 rifle for varmints (mostly porcupines) and a 177 pellet rifle for the squirrels that make my life hell.

At some point, I`ll be wanting to get a pistol and a better rifle or two. There are coyotes nearby our house so I want something for that, but I also want something for hunting deer even though I`ve never done it yet

Anyway, so here I am... I like to stir the pot from time to time, so don`t take it personal if I go runnin at the mouth
 
Just got on this site, kind of overwhelming. Waiting for my RPAL to be approved, then join the local club. Quick question for the old hat's, Where can I get HP38 or W231 powder? Checked with Budget Shooters Supply and while they carry Hodgen powder, they don't seem to stock the 38. Any help would be appriciated
 
New Business Start Up

I am starting a new business and any information would be much appreciated. I have my firearms inspection coming up and I am looking for information on distributors and just about anything that will help me.

Welcome! I'm not a member of the Mispec club, so I can't really help there, but if you are ever interested in joining the St. Martins club, the annual meeting where we bring in new members should be sometime this month. I can try to find out when it is and let you know, if you'd like. Just fire me a message if interested.
