Shooting Gun clubs east of GTA

Hey guys, had my pal for about a year now, really want to get more into shooting
I live in uxbridge, I see there’s uxbridge clays, but it seems pricey (if there is value there I’m open to it)
Would love to join a club that allows rifles but I’d be okay with shotgun only. Anyone recommend any clubs that will take new members without a sponsor?

Also any clubs that will allow you to show up as a visitor and shoot?

Thanks

No wait list at Gagnon and lots of us from Oshawa have membership there as well. Start shooting there regularly and you’ll be able to find someone to sign for you at Oshawa.
FWIW, not far from Oshawa GO either.
Uxbridge is a very nice club as well but they’re about clay sports.
Theres also Eastdale on 35/115, it’s 24/7 access I believe but indoors.

I see on Gagnon’s website it says “no caliber restrictions” does that include being allowed to shoot surplus/steel core ammo?

Pretty sure steel core ammo is not allowed. Call ahead to confirm though. I don’t recall seeing anything about surplus ammo, just steel core.
