Application / Regulation advice Long Range Shooting Options Ontario

I've been really wanting to get into long range precision shooting recently but have only been able to find a few ways to shoot over 600 meters. Either at CFB Borden up to 1k yards or MilCun up to 600m both through the Ontario Rifle Association.

I'm wondering if it might be possible to drive down to Michigan or New York or other nearby states and utilize their ranges, does anyone have experience doing this? I'm quite new to shooting and not sure what the laws are like in terms of taking firearms to and from the states.

Also, I've seen some people saying to use crown land but I don't think I'd feel comfortable shooting off range.

Would love to hear any ideas anyone has for long range shooting options in or near Ontario, I'm completely fine with driving 3+ hours.

I’d love to one day make it out to Alberta or BC to shoot but I’m trying to find something that I could drive to for a weekend (even if it takes +4h each way).

I haven’t looked into ranges in the U.S. yet, I wanted to ask and see if anyone else had the idea of driving down from Ontario to nearby states to shoot long range. I’m just assuming Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or New York will have at least one range that shoots past 1000 yards.

I appreciate you sharing information about going to the U.S. with a rifle, I’ll look into it more to see if my idea is even remotely feasible.
