You can try the RA Centre here in town as they have club guns and beginner level classes. Might be a bit slow this time of year but it would be worthwhile checking out.

I'd suggest the RA Centre as well. I joined there several years ago as a raw noob and they taught me alot. There were no lessons per se, but they ran a short safety course and let us shoot with the club guns several evenings a week. You don't need a PAL to start out there, which is good if you aren't ready to commit to a sport that you haven't tried yet.

Welcome aboard and I know you'll get hooked on shooting sports.

well you could tell more about yourself and maybe someone would invite you on an introductory range visit
A little more about myself
Hi,
So here's a little more about Sean and me (Nicole). We moved to Ottawa just over a year ago, and so far love the outdoors-y things the city has to offer!
For Sean's birthday I offered to look into shooting lessons; something he has always wanted to try. I e-mailed the Eastern Ontario Handgun Club and Shooting Range and a kind adminstrator directed me to this website since they do not offer first-timer lessons.
We both do not own firearms or have a "PAL" (I'm assumming this is a license of sorts?!?), neither of us have picked up a firearm before.... you get the point - we're green!
If anyone is willing to help me make a 30-something birthday REALLY memorable, I would really appreciate it! If not, we will definitely look into the RA Centre (thank you for the tip).
Cheers,
Nicole

While I haven't been a member at the RA for some time, I recommend you contact them for the gun club contacts.
Likely there will not be classes until the fall, but it's would be the way to start.
