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

If you want to buy, currently around 13k.

If you want to rent, currently around 600 / yr.

Keep in mind in both cases, you need to pay 700 ish on top for membership / year.

If you wanted to buy is it available or still have to search for someone willing to sell?

Still have to find someone willing to sell; if you go in on Saturdays, you can go to their club house and see if anyone is selling on the board
