Misc Gun club advise
I’m moving to Hamilton in Sept for school and wanted to get a membership at the silverdale gun club since I’m gonna way to far from my CL spot
I wanted to ask if anyone else has a membership there and what their experience is like

Hey. Silverdale member here. This is my second year with the club. I’ve had nothing but good experience. They are pretty rules heavy. For example you can’t shot with iron sights on the 200 yard range. And it also is a bit expensive at $500 for a full membership. After your first year though you can switch to a half price membership that is limited to 10 visits for $250. That’s what I did this year because I just can’t make it out enough to justify the full membership.
Now all that stuff aside it is the only club I was able to find that doesn’t have some sort of wait list or hoops that you have to jump through. All you have to do for Silverdale after joining in attend a safety briefing that last I think 2 hours if I remember correctly.
Summery, first year is a bit expensive if you are not shooting a lot. They have some strict rules. But easy sign up no hoops or waitlist. And for me it’s been a good experience shooting there. I would recommend it to people looking for a club.
