Sunday gunday people!

​

The red dot makes it trivial to land shots, and the only way I'll use my P320

Going up to north bay for a week soon, and wanted to bring my guns, but cant seem to find any ranges that allow non-members. would looking on the CLUPA for some land be my best bet? and after I find what seems like a good area, should I email the MNR and township to be sure? Never shot on crown before so not sure the whole process. Thanks!

Got a 100 pack of ‘Challenger Target Load’ and it failed to eject 90% of the time.

Obviously the biggest thing I want out of a shotgun is to skeet shoot with, but I also don’t wanna fork out thousands for a shotgun just to target shoot with.

This gun is brand new and has only had target loads through it. I did buy a pack of ‘Winchester Super X Heavy Game #2 Shot’ and it worked just fine. Both shells being 2 3/4”.

Do I just need to break it in? Should I try Federal Target Load? Do I just get rid of this gun…?

What do yall think. Thanks 😊

Update: Winchester & Federal Target Loads run just fine. They are a bit heavier of a load.

There are still a few places to get out to try a pistol. These are a few I got the pleasure to try out today.

Let me preface this by saying I am an active PAL holder, I’ve been a shooter for more than 20 years.

I’ve moved across the country and left 4 of my guns in BC (I’m trying to get them shipped out) so I’m left with a .12 gauge and a TM22.

I want to go shooting for my birthday with a small group of friends (3-5 people, all of which are responsible adults and would take gun safety very seriously). I don’t have a membership to a range where I am due to wait lists and there’s some crown land but it’s rather uncomfortable to get to.

My question is this - Would I be absolutely insane to post on a local community page asking for someone to take us shooting? Maybe a range member or something along those lines? 1) To have access to the safest shooting space possible and 2) ( with some compensation) to have access to a bit more variety of firearms besides my 2.

I know it’s a huge ask of someone to take strangers shooting and it’s a huge trust thing to go shooting with a random person so I feel like I’m a little dumb for tossing around the idea.

Had the chance to get out on the long weekend and test some new parts. Been missing a 9mm so couldn't resist putting together a build for the Homesteader.

Hi, I'm in the Ottawa area and have never been shooting before and looking to finally try it out. Stittsville Shooting Ranges seems like the closest spot to me, so if anyone local has a license and gear and wouldn't mind bringing a first-timer along sometime late July/early August, I'd really appreciate it. Happy to cover whatever's needed on my end.

Thanks in advance!

As title suggests. Missed the ship for handguns and cool oic stuff but want to do .22 handgun exemption (im serious about getting into handgun 25m). Dm if interested.

Not yotes came in but the sunset made it worth the hike.

Is there a website/club/forum that keeps a list of where I can shoot and practice long range in Quebec, Montreal region? Anything than I can shoot prone or from a bench.

I am near Montreal and I always prefer going north. My actual shooting range is about 200 meters long, maximum, and you shoot from a bench/table. I’d like to know if there’s somewhere 300m and maybe over until I found myself a personal spot.

I’m beginning this year and want to experience my first time in a range since I don’t know any nearby crownland or someone that could be my mentor.

Bonus question: I’ve setup my rifle pretty much like it should be, but my friend who got me into LR is away for a couple of months. Should I see a gunsmith to check with my ergonomics with the rifle? Or should I find a “scope guy” and go to a range/field with him?

Feel free to ask me any questions you have about. I’ll update and edit the post if necessary. Thanks for reading!

Shoutout to the dude who told me it’s pull-ution, not pollution.

Just wondering.

Perfect day to get out and shoot! I just went and shot the crap out of a rotten pineapple and an old PC while I was grilling my steak. Benelli Supernova, TM22, and CZ457 off the back deck.

With all the bullshit going on these days sometimes it can be hard to enjoy the hobby. But there's nothing that brings a big goofy smile to my face quicker than getting out there and slinging some lead. In the moment, I can almost forget what's happening to our sport. Pineapple PC massacre ftw. 😊 🤙🏻

Both holes made by the same gun. 45ACP FMJ round nose, and lead semi-wadcutter.

Figured it was a good time to post another run of my Webley mk1 revolver circa 1890 using light smokeless reloads in 45AutoRim (same load will work for 45ACP with moonclips).

Handloading recipe is: 45AR starline brass, 3.5-3.6g win 231 powder, CCI large pistol primer, 1.26OAL, 230g LRN. Enjoy!

Weather was milder in Southern Ontario and I hadn't taken this gun out in a few years. Nice to have lighter gun to carry even without a sling. No rabbits around though but glad I got out.

Beauty day to be out. First time out with the Henry!

(when Alberta weather is nice, you adjust and cram accordingly, LOL)

Looking to buy ammo, specifically shotgun in 12ga, 20ga, and 28ga. I was wondering if anyone had used https://ammobin.ca/en/ . Curious if it's the best way to find reasonably priced ammo, or if y'all have any tips or sites you use to find the best deals. TIA

It looks like I should clean off all the grease/oil the shotgun came with. And then put some gun oil on it.

Any advice? Small drop of lube everywhere there is metal on metal contact?

Right hand dominant but legally blind in my right eye…

I’m in the process of getting my license and have started doing the deep dive into first firearms and all that.

As a kid I’d always go target shooting with my uncle and cousin but would really struggle with the rifles as my right eye is almost completely blind but I’m right handed.

Now I’m looking at purchasing a shotgun as my first firearm but working if I’ll need to shoot it my non dominant side so I can actually see down the barrel/sight.

I know for rifles I will probably be buying with the action/bolt on the left side and learn how to shoot from my non dominant hand. But with a shotgun would I do the same?

Also would I need to find a shotgun that’s made for left handed people so I don’t have shells ejecting towards my face?

If anyone has experience with this I’d love some advice.
