Where to Shoot - Drop-In Ranges for the Lower Mainland

You’ve just taken your Canadian Firearms Safety Course, and you’ve joined Canada’s Gun Club, aka the Silvercore Gun Club. So now you’re educated and prepared to go the range, but where do you go?

There are several ranges across the lower mainland and to save you a Google search we’ve listed all of the drop-in ranges you can go to below! Now we realize your location may influence where you’ll want to go, and that’s fair. However, we recommend checking out all of the ranges in the Lower Mainland as they are all unique in their merit.

Pro Tip: We mentioned it above, but it is important to note again. By joining our gun club, you will meet the Canadian Firearms Programs (CFP) issuance requirements to obtain a Long Term Authorization to Transport (ATT). With your valid ATT you will comply with the CFP’s requirements for restricted firearms purchase, possession and transport, which you will need to take your firearms with you to the range.
