Recommendations for clay shooting near Halifax? I’m newly licensed, and looking to get some experience with clays before trying out duck/goose hunting (likely next season at this point). The sales rep at Cabella’s said that it’s possible to book this at some of the DNR ranges. Anyone have experience with that? Also any recommendations among the private ranges?

Non of the provincial ranges allow clay shooting. Technically they only allow shooting from the seated position at the shooting bench and only for the sighting in of rifles at 100 yards. With that said, there’s typically lots of broken clays, rounds and evidence of other activities.

Overall for HRM I think MVRRC is the best bang for you buck as far as ranges are concerned. Lots of rifle, pistol and a shotgun ranges to choose from. They do host clay shooting events I believe. There’s also Nova Sport Clays that I’ve heard good things about. But never actually been to. The NS Hunting forums are also a decent resource for NS specific info.
