Application / Regulation advice Worth it?

My question is about the purpose of getting a PAL. I have done quite a bit of research on how to get a PAL in Canada and I found a place near my house. I have shot many firearms in my life and I always have fun shooting. I grew up around firearms too so I am pretty comfortable around them (taught as a kid about muzzle sweeping and trigger discipline). That being said I’m still a total newb. I have also been warming up to the idea of possibly getting into hunting (although I’ve never hunted before). What is the culture and people like around gun ranges? Firearms seem so heavily regulated in Canada, I was wondering if people who have gotten their PALS find that it was worth all the effort?

I mean...do you want to own a gun? If yes, then a PAL is absolutely worth it because it's the only way you can legally own a gun.

Range Culture is gonna depend on your specific range, but almost everyone I've met in my club are great.
