Sighting-in my .17 HMR near the GTA

Hey guys~wondering if you have any ideas on where I might be able to do this. Looking for 100 yard range, and the only public range I'm aware of is Silverdale, out near Niagara. If possible, somewhere that has a bench at this range, but I could bring a rest, or even a mat and shoot prone.

I live in Aurora, and hunt out in Durham. I can't sight it in out there, but that's a 2 hr. drive from Aurora too, so Silverdale is the same drive.

Just looking for ideas a little closer to home!

Thanks for taking a moment to respond,
Rob

oshawa gun and skeet club has a 300 yd rifle range. they do have public shooting days. the club is just south of port perry

Want to come north more (40 minutes)past Durham to Meaford, could take you to a range.

I'm a member of Islington Sportsmen Club located on Humberstation Road 3km west off Hwy 50 off Hwy #9. Among other things they have a 100 m range. While a private club , guests are allowed with a member for a fee of $ 10.00./ day . This entitles you to shoot rifle, handgun as well as fish in the 5 acre pond. ( limit 3 trout/day). I am often at the club. If you are interested e-mail me and we can can arrange a shooting session there.

Hey Voyager,
Are they selling memberships or is it all booked up? Looking to join a club and that one would be the closest.

It is a private club and you must be sponsored by a member. Once a place for you becomes available you face a one time non returnable initiation feeitiation fee of $500.00 plus an annual dues of $290.00. You would be on probation for 1 year, during which time you need to accumulate 100 points during the year. Not hard to do. once completed you are a full member and pay the annual dues which include a membership in O.F.A.H.
During probation period you are free to use the club facilities at your convenience. 100 yd range also 25 yd, 50 yd and 75 yds. Skeet and trap ranges open wed ad sun p.m. camping and fishing areas are there. Currently there are several on the waiting list
