Does anyone know the current process to join Silverdale club in Ontario for shooting restricted? I have read some conflicting things, that others who have joined said that there aren't any probation shoots, etc. Can anyone confirm?

If you want to shoot restricted firearms you need to have RPAL.
RPAL course is offered to those that do not have it.
There is also club safety course, yes.
Every club has safety course, it is most likely mandated by provincial regulations.
Silverdale is most common sense and least BS gun range in GTA and surrounding area.

I joined Silverdale a while back. Great club and family run business.Their annual rates aren't too painfull either.From what I remember there is a short range and club safety course(mandatory now I believe),test and three or four prob shoots.It is definitely best to call ahead to arrange for the safety course.

Yes, I have an RPAL and own a restricted firearm.
I just wasn't clear if there were actually 2 seperate courses required to shoot restricted at Silverdale. At first I thought this process was something that could be completed on one Saturday, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Just trying to find a club that I can complete the requirements and apply for an LTATT as quickly/painlessly as possible so I can start shooting. I tried calling a week or two and the person I spoke to didn't seem to understand what I was asking.

Great club, you have to watch one particular RSO (Leo) He will take your brass of the firing line floor while the flag is green and you are checking your targets. I called him on it and he said he was "cleaning up". Non of my rimfire was "cleaned up" just my .308.
other than that the club is great.

Leo is a great guy as most there are,I found him cleaning up my 357. brass for a friend and was given a full box of reloads a few weeks later.Nice!
Only one course then,and first prob shoot was the same morning. The guns and ammo are also included that first day.They made the arrangements for the LTATT as I used my own guns for the follow up prob shoots.

He is the most hard assed RO there, and can be quite annoying at times, but he is a good guy. I have had to tell him to #### off a couple times though.
The best was when I was loading my Cooey 600 and had the gun tilted back so the rounds would slide down the tube mag. He flipped out saying that the barrel was pointing over the berm. He was an ass about it, until I explained that was the only ####ing way to load the gun!
He can get pretty touchy about pointing over the berm. It might be all about safety or the house just a few hundred feet on the other side might belong to him.
