closest is north of washago, closer to gravenhurst. even if there is crown land south of that, no municipality allows or target shooting

Severn does not have discharge restrictions as far as I can tell. It appears they repealed them a while back and fall back to MNRF rules.

It’s tough to find someone willing to share a spot. Look up the Ontario crown land use atlas, find a general use area and go for a walk. Be careful as there are often municipal discharge restrictions in place, even on crown land. Do your homework and be respectful and clean up after yourself. Make sure you bring sufficient proof that you are target practicing to avoid getting accused of poaching. Be visible and be mindful of others in the area that may freak out hearing gunfire.
