Caliber vs Location

Hey OOD Folks,

So Ive gotten conflicting answers from people in regards to using my 30-06 north or south of Orillia. Some say its no "hunting" with a 30-06 south of Orillia, other say no "firing" of a 30-06 south of Orillia.

Question is:
Im in WMU 77B, can I sight in or target shoot my 30-06 on my own country property legally? No hunting of course, just targeting/sighting.

Cheers.

Target shoot all ya like. I have a friend shoots his 338 win mag in the field 5 km's north of lake Erie.

You are good to go unless your specific township has a bylaw saying you aren't.

What he said ^^^^
Not all municipalities have the same discharge bylaws. Check before you shoot. But don't expect too much collaboration and possibly police MNR harassment.

Here's new techumseh discharge by law. http://newtecumseth.ca/wp-content/up...solidation.pdf

First time I noticed that they list Paintball Gun as a firearm for restrictive purposes..is this common ?

Thanks Topher & everyone else!

So Newtecumseth has no caliber restrictions that are township imposed....

Yeah, lots of by-laws include slingshots too.

I may be wrong but I think simcoe county says nothing over a 270. Like I said I could be wrong

Correct , for hunting . No such restriction on caliber for target shooting.
