New Shooting Range in Mississauga

[u/kaymakenjoyer_]

Pleasantly shocked by this but very happy as a Mississauga resident. Anyone been here yet? My buddy went and had a great time but wanted to see if anyone else has any thoughts

For majority gun clubs yes it’s incredibly difficult to get in, long wait list and you need to know somebody who’s already a member. Silverdale has open registration but you have to apply between January and March of the new year. Silverdale has some pretty arbitrary rules but there’s also a lot of idiots that somehow got their PAL so I understand the abundance of caution. Nothing beats shooting trap or on 100+ yard ranges in the fresh air.

I’ve never shot trap before. Only really been to Target sports out in Gormley a bunch of times.

I’d probably apply to Silverdale some time in the future, or Sharon as another Redditor was telling me about in this thread.

It’s just a waiting game for me, personally. Money & the means to travel to & fro !

If you have a shotgun, I can’t recommend it more. You can always book a supervised shoot to give it a try. In the fall they usually provide a hunter sight in deal on the 50 yard range for non members. It’s a really good price I wanna say $20 i can’t confirm that though. You only get access to the 50 yard range. I first did that before I made a decision on membership.

I’m a member and I pay annually but to be honest in the last couple years I’ve only been able to go a few times because I’ve been so busy with work and other aspects of life. I still get my membership to support the range because I know after the handgun freeze and the bans a lot of people cancelled their memberships.

Yeah I got a 12G with a 24” barrel, I’m sure that’ll suffice for some skeet.

In due time I’ll check it out ‘
