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

Orono has a waiting list but they have accepted some new people this year.

Oshawa Clay and Target requires you to know someone there as a reference. I've been told you can befriend people at shotgun comps and get in that way...but I'm not a shotgun person so I can't vouch for it.

There's Port Perry Rod and Gun but they have almost no web presence and I don't know any members.

You're pretty close to Sharon Gun Club - getting your hands on a share is a unique experience and it's the most expensive range around, but lots of rifle bays.

Only solo drop in place I know is Silverdale which isn't near you.

Any idea what a share in Sharon is worth

Current asking is $14K. You might luck in and get lower (lowest I've heard in the past year was $12.5 with exceptional circumstances), but a lot of people are choosing to rent them if they can't get what they want.

Renting is $750-850 depending on how patient and lucky you are.
