I've been looking at ranges; living in GTA makes most option seem ridiculous.
TSC: Didn't really like it there last time
Gagnon: 600 a year is really high, for short ranges at pretty short hours
Sharon: Highly doubt I can afford a share
Silverdale: Heard it's gotten worse recently?
East Elgin: Maybe this? Will have to commit a whole weekend and rent Airbnb to make it worth it, tbh
Range Burlington: Not accepting members
CFB Borden: I can get in, but I can't bring guests / friends can't get in as associate mbr due to cap
Lower Trent: I have cheap on base accommodations so it's actually not bad, or I can stay at my friends' for free there. Still need to commit a few days, probably
BRG: Hours make it impossible

Any other, realistically? I want to shoot my 6.5 lol. And a handgun...

Easthill off the 115. Same price as Gagnon's though.
