Shooting Southwestern Ontario target shooting spots
Hi all,
Got the bad news from the OPP and relevant authorities that target shooting at Fingal Wildlife Management Area is not permitted, even though hunting is. Makes sense, right?
Anywho, I’m appealing to the kindness of target-shooting friends here (we’re not strangers really, we’re all comrades-in-arms just trying to enjoy our hobby despite the government unjustly suspecting us of nefarious motives) who happen to reside within an hour’s drive of the London area. Do you happen to own/know somebody who owns private property where it’s permissible to target shoot? I’d really rather not drop over 400 clams at my local range next month for a membership, I just wanna shoot my flintlock and my .22, with or without supervision. I have my own targets and am willing to travel up to an hour from city limits.
A man should be able to enjoy his hobbies but unfortunately the powers that be just don’t like fun. Thanks for reading and happy shooting!

Townships I've lived in out London way have had no firearms discharge bylaws unless it's for varmint/pest control or dedicated hunting land like you've run into.
