I am fairly new to shooting. My intentions in taking this sport are equally for hunting and for learning more general marksmanship.
As soon as I receive my PAL, which should happen in the next 2-3 weeks, I wish to buy a cheap shotgun, mainly to shoot clay pigeon, but also to hunt goose (I grew up in Nicolet) and maybe a .22 to practice marksmanship on the cheap. (and maybe move up to centerfire eventually)
I do have couples of questions,
Where are the good places to shop and buy new and, preferably, used firearms? I was kind of disappointed by my chat with a vendor at Dante, although I will probably try it in the future.
Is there any gun show or something like that in the Montreal Area?
What about gun clubs? I heard good things about L’acadie, but any other suggestion? Bonus points for pointing out the exact price (for membership and shooting session).
Also if you’re a good soul and are looking for some companionship on a trip to your range I (and possibly my PAL buddy) would be willing to go and take some notes.
Alternatively if you have a cheap .22 and/or 12ga you could peddle it to me.
Thanks
Etienne
