Hi everyone,

I'm interested in in SilverDale gun range since it's one of the few that accepts new members at the moment and have heard only good things about the club. I have had no luck trying to speak to someone through their phone number that's posted on the website so I was wondering if any current members are here that could answer a couple of question.

1. Is the club still operating? I'm asking this because no one answers the phone and the website was for a couple of weeks.

2. Can you get a day pass without being a member to try out the facilities?

Thank you in advance and if you have any other gun ranges to suggest for a newbie in Toronto are please let me know.
 
Yes the club is still operating they are very busy that's why there is no answer.

And yes you can get a day pass for $20.00 on the weekends Saturday and Sunday.
Enjoy.
 
Its a great club, the people and staff are very friendly and accommodating. I've had nothing but good experiences there. If I were closer I would definitely join.
 
Good club, however the RSO's range from overbearing to unreasonable, to competent and fair. Then the other day, my black friend had to listen to an RSO talking with a South African guy about what a great guy Eugene Terreblanche was. My friend now has an impression that many gun owners are racist. Certainly an uncomfortable moment.
 
Thanks for the all responses guys. I did manage to speak to someone today and will definitely check it out tomorrow morning. It's going to be a long trip but I'm sure will be worth it.

I'd hate to derail my own thread but wouldn't the fault really be on your own friend for judging an entire community based on words from one man who he over heard?
 
I dunno about "racist" (never seen the issue come up), but I can tell you that my partner and I are a lesbian couple, and we have been members there for some time, and have never been made to feel anything but completely comfortable and welcome there. C'mon over - it's a fun place! :)
 
I joined after one visit, it was too good to pass up. I make the drive from GTA and have no regrets about it.

I am a newer member and have never had a bad experience with any of the RO's, all are friendly and very helpful. I drive an hour and half each way just because of the good experiences I have had at Silverdale.
 
I've been a member for about 6 months, never had any issues with the RO's. That has been the main complaint I've read on here since I joined, mainly the inconsistency between RO's.
 
I joined last year. Have not had any issues with RO's. But i am very busy and only made it out there a few times. still, a positive experience.
 
Am I able to stop in during the week and speak with someone? or only on weekends?

Not looking to shoot, just to check out hte facilities and such, get some info, website is still down. I hear weekends are a zoo so id rather not add to that haha
 
If you have safe handling skills and you follow the club rules, there shouldn't be any issues. Don't like the rules, then find another range. Other than that, I have zero issues with any of the RSOs at Silverdale ie Tod, Steve, Dave, Mike, Monty etc Great atmosphere and generally friendly folks. I believe Fri-Sun are open to the public. Nice thing is you can do a day pass and see if you like the club before joining.
 
works good if you bundle up lol the club runs the same all year round great place and big, one of the only places like it in the area that is why some guys drive 2 hours to silverdale I consider my self pretty lucky as it is a 25 min ride for me
