Shooting Long Range in Québec?

Is there a website/club/forum that keeps a list of where I can shoot and practice long range in Quebec, Montreal region? Anything than I can shoot prone or from a bench.

I am near Montreal and I always prefer going north. My actual shooting range is about 200 meters long, maximum, and you shoot from a bench/table. I’d like to know if there’s somewhere 300m and maybe over until I found myself a personal spot.

I’m beginning this year and want to experience my first time in a range since I don’t know any nearby crownland or someone that could be my mentor.

Bonus question: I’ve setup my rifle pretty much like it should be, but my friend who got me into LR is away for a couple of months. Should I see a gunsmith to check with my ergonomics with the rifle? Or should I find a “scope guy” and go to a range/field with him?

Feel free to ask me any questions you have about. I’ll update and edit the post if necessary. Thanks for reading!

Get a membership with the pqra/atpq. They are allowed to go shoot at the Valcartier base. Depending on the range, you can shoot above 1000y

Ahhh a guy I went to see a rifle told me about some clubs having a deal with Valcartier base. Have you been there by any chances? Thanks for the tip!

They have initiation days that cost like 75$ and then you can get the membership afterwards.

I’ll reach out to them this week. Sounds right on what I wanted to try.

They also have electronic targets which are pretty neat
