As said above SGC allows walk ins but you need to make reservation in advance. I applied fir their membership in march and got approved. today was the orientation. They did mention that there are couple of spots available, so give them a call and find out

I looked up where they are, I'm about an hour and a half away, which is far but I mean There's really no other options lol. If they allow non members for reserved sessions I could book one and see how I like it. Me and my friend both are PAL holders so that shouldn't be an issue, its just if I want to bring non PAL friends or family is where it might get a bit dicey. It kinda sucks cause I live around lots of farm land but I only know a few people who live on a decent sized farm and even then even if they gave me permission there's like still roads all around so I don't even know if I could find a spot on those farms that I'd feel safe enough to do any sort of shotgun/rifle practice. My buddies parents have had issues with trespassers so that might not be the best spot ether again assuming they gave permission.
