I’ve been looking around for a place to sight in a rifle for the upcoming hunting season as well as for practice. I remember coming across a webpage or two that offered walk in’s at their ranges but can no longer find them. Anyone know a place that takes walk in’s near the GTA? Or if anyone is willing to take guests I’d be happy to return the favour at my range (25m). TIA

You could use a ballistics calculator and then sight it in at your 25m range. ...

Not a bad idea but I’d prefer to sight in and get rounds on target at the range I would be hunting at. If that makes sense. Might have to resort to this idea though thanks for the advice.

It 100% makes sense. My suggestion was a worst case, or even as a way to save time and ammo when you actually end up sighting in at full range.

Got it. Thanks again for the advice.
