Looking for a good spot to target shoot on in Squamish bc. Are there any good spots to check out that are within a 30-45 min drive from the area ?

What is the closest gun club to this area and if not I can just shoot NR but where are good and safe spots.

42gr IMR 3031

Not too bad for the old man’s moose gun that I just bring out the odd time to run some rounds through. Burris 3-9x and shooting cheap PPU. The blast from the 300wm is always a laugh since I’m usually shooting smaller stuff for fun.

Got my hands on this unit, Remington Genesis.. kicks like a mule but super fun to bring out every now and then.

Anyone on here live on the island? the spot I usually go shoot at in the woods has had the roads dug up due to asshats leaving garbage everywhere and damaging logging equipment. Im looking to find some new spots to shoot. Im in the Cowichan valley but will go further afield to find a decent, safe spot.

Just dicking around, enjoying the spring weather.

Open to suggestions if there’s something you’d want added.

Update: added a precision challenge mode. Scored concentric rings corrected for bullet diameter, so scores are comparable across calibers.

Update 2: based on user requests, expanded calibers and added a tuning mode for load development.

Update 3: this has been much more popular than expected. Improved UI, further expanded caliber support, added a target verification stamp, and added an aimpoint size setting.

Update 4: KYL mode is now live.

Update 5: scope tracking mode now live.

Update 6: Improved target geometry to have more usable space and aim point size is now angular, not fixed.

Hi all. Bolted on a shooting conditions section to the site referenced before. The idea is you can bookmark your home range/club and have a quick reference to live conditions scored based on favourability for shooting sports activity. Let me know if you’d like any edits or to see your location added. Thanks!

Would you say I did well? I don’t mean to be cocky in any way. I am kind of new to target shooting, so trying to gauge my skill level. One things for sure I had a great time. There something about shooting with iron sights , feels kind of pure, simple and relaxing.

Edit - 100 yards

Here’s a whole round of NSSA skeet on the TrueClays Training Simulator. Absolute game changer on the field.

Last year I bought my first hunting rifle, a Winchester XPR in 270 Win. I am relatively new to guns, so I didn't know a whole lot when I bought it. I intend to start hunting with deer, and later move up to bear, moose, and elk. Somehow I chose 150 gr bullets, and used those to sight my rifle in. I am slowly working through a few brands to see what my rifle shoots the best. But I have noticed that 130 gr bullets seem to be more plentiful, and a hair cheaper sometimes. And some brands (Aguila, Herters, Hornady) don't seem to make 150 gr rounds at all. 130 gr might be the better option for deer, but I don't know if they will be the best for bigger game, and I don't know when I will hunt what.

So I am wondering if it is worth switching to 130 gr bullets. Should I bother to re-sight my rifle in, or is the difference minimal and will I be just fine as I am? Thank you for the answers.

I'm in southern Alberta newish to the area, looking for any groups or just people that go out and shoot that are newer shooter friendly! I'm a member at the Lethbridge range but sadly not taber and have kinda taught myself everything I do know(not much and am new to scopes as in onterrible we just used irons) If anyone's interested hit up! I'm probably gonna go out tomorrow since I just zero'd my new rifle today and want to see about hitting the 300 mark a little more reliably lol

I love shooting shotguns but have nothing to shoot with them. Obviously I can do clays but that’s no ideal with my mossberg shockwave.

So I’m trying to shoot more clays this summer, I live in Halifax NS and I’m wondering where everyone else is doing it. I know there is a sporting clays club(nova sporting clays) that I’m interested in but haven’t spoken to anyone that’s ever been there. I also own an electric clay thrower I’d love to get some use out of but I’m not sure where I can safely/legally shoot clays on my own, I’ve heard people shoot clays at the DNR ranges around the province but the website seems to say that’s a no-no

So does anyone have any experiences to share from nova sporting clays? And does anyone know of a place I can shoot clays on my own?

Hi all, many of the site features of shotdiagnostic.com have expanded in the last few weeks thanks to your feedback and range submissions. Much appreciated.

I’ve since added a couple new pages at /learn (simple interactive lessons for demonstrating basic shooting concepts) and /focus with mental warmup exercises designed for use before matches or practice. As always, please keep the feedback coming. Happy Friday.

Wife approved.

Older tang-safety model in 300winmag. It was my late father’s and I try to put some rounds through it for his sake when I can. Canadian Tire generously had some PPU 300WM on for $30/box so out it came for some shooting.
