Misc Opinions on burlington rifle and revolver club?

Hi everyone!

Now that I have my PAL, I was looking for a range to join. I stumbled across this club, and they seem to have pretty good services offered, as well as a fair price.

I've heard alot of mixed opinions about them, some say they're excellent and not really busy. Whereas some say they're always busy with the disciplines etc.

Does anyone have any experience with this range, and do you think it's worth it to apply there?

One of the big reasons I like this place, is because they offer the ability to bring guests, and they don't limit how many times you can bring that specific guest (to my knowledge). For example, I seen Gagnon had a limit until the guest would be required to purchase a membership.

This is pretty important to me, since I have a friend near there, that doesn't have a PAL, but loves to shoot guns, and we'd love to have some really good memories over there.

Thank you so much for your time!

I just did their safety course and became a member a few weeks ago and it's pretty decent so far. It is 24 hours but most of the normal human hours are eaten up by disciplines so you have to check the schedule often

Makes sense. It sounds like a decent club, but I might keep it on the backburner for now, and see if there are any other clubs that could maybe compare to it

The one thing to keep in mind is they are expanding and building a new facility on top of the existing underground range. So they'll have more ports and likely more room for people to shoot while disciplines are going on.

It's also a club I'm confidant won't be going anywhere anytime soon barring Liberal policy changes.

That's pretty cool actually. I'm definitely considering it more now

About the guest thing I was talking about. Let's say I wanted to bring 2 people, someone commented that 1 would have to wait in the lobby. And then once they want to shoot, they switch. Do you know if that's true? It would be pretty cool if both people could be there, but I also don't know the size of the booths

You can't have both guests on the range at the same time. If you bring two, one has to sit in the lobby while you shoot with the other and then you can switch them out.

Makes sense. Do you know if the people in the lobby are able to observe and learn the other shooters in the range through a window or something? I'm probably going to apply to the club no matter what, but was still curious

They used to have windows you could observe with but they're gone. You could watch the monitors with the security cameras overlooking the range though
