Walk in trap/clay Southern Ontario

[jackhy]

Hi,

Just got myself a O/U and would love to try Trap/Skeet/Clays. Currently looking for a drop in option to try it out, are there any drop in trap/skeet in this area? I know Silverdale is one, but I hear it’s always packed so looking for more options.

Thanks!

Hamilton Gun Club in Stoney Creek.

I shot a few rounds of skeet there. I just walked in and they were real friendly.

If you make it south southern Ontario, The Windsor Sportsmans Club have public trap and skeet shooting. I'm not sure the cost per round because I'm a member.
Amherstburg is a private club with trap and 5 stand.

Also the Kent Cloverleaf Conservation club is open to non-members for trap and skeet.

^^^ Don't forget Rondeau Rod and Gun Club in Blenheim. Trap Wed. night, skeet Sundays from 10am-3pm. $7/round.

What gun did you purchase? Not sure if it's a good idea to start with Beretta 686

Where abouts are you located? Oxford fish & game in Woodstock has walk on for non-members. 5 stand on Thursdays @ 1800h and trap on Sundays @ 1000h. $7.50 per round.

I'm not sure if Wilmot road & gun in Baden still does on Sundays or not. You'd have to contact them.

Beretta 687

Oshawa certainly used to, and used to let PAL holders bring non-PAL-holding guests too. One of my favorite places to actually shoot trap.

Last I checked (2-3 years ago?) they were still allowing walk-ons, but they have to be PAL holders.

Oshawa hasn't allowed walk-ins since Covid. Must be a guest of a member and signed in at the office upon arrival.

Beretta 687

My first shotgun was a Beretta 686, a dozen shotguns later and it still is my absolute favourite for shooting clays, so was great for me as a newbie. Just make that, like all shotguns, you pattern it against a board before you waste a bunch of ammo trying to figure out where it shoots.

Yes, Wilmot still allows walk in for trap on Sunday mornings, starting at 9:30 am

Now you have to explain that one. It would have been one of my top recommendations - and the 687 he bought, the same same gun with a degree of ooh - ahh!

There’s a couple public clays events a year at Galt which are amazing and worth looking into
