It was my first time coming here and we were so well taken care of. Staff was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, practiced a lot of safety with us and made sure protocols were followed. Lots of gun options, and pricing transparency as well. I definitely would recommend coming here if it's your first time shooting. I personally would come back here again! Minors are allowed with parental supervision but will need to sign a waver. read more

Target Sports Canada - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Gormley, Ontario

I had a membership for a few years. Life has changed, so I'm not a current member I thought that the facility was run really well by very competent staff. Safety was never compromised. One time there was a guy in an adjacent stall who did something inappropriate. I alerted the staff, and he was removed. No issue It's been a very difficult time to own and run this business owing to the liberal govt going after legal firearms owners. Most businesses under these constraints would have folded I only have good things to say about TS and their staff. They treated me very well, and their service was excellent read more

Great place! Very friendly staff! I became a member there and have been in long before I ever got my membership. Everyone is super friendly and they pay very close attention to safety! They also provide great advice to new firearm owners as well! Love taking my guns there for some fun! read more

Target Sports Canada - Gun range shooting range - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Gormley, Ontario

This is such a commercialized place, focused on huge profit margins because they definitely overcharge you for everything. In basic words, this is a place people go when they've never shot a gun before and don't know how much ammo actually goes for. & by that I mean, most of your $$ will go to paying for overpriced ammo. Meh, I like to tag along with the bf to his skeet club where I pay $25 to get in as a guest (but of course he brings his own guns and ammo.. which he buys at market price. So much cheaper). Even the guns here are priced ridiculously high - trust me, I know this for sure. It's pretty much to gain a huge profit from newbies that just got their firearms license and are desperate for their first gun. **achem, find yo'self an arms dealer instead. I would never come here and pay for this at the prices they're offering but I did come here for a work event, which was very short BECAUSE it's expensive to even spend time here! This was my first time at an indoor range so I was not used to the corrosive smell of the gunpowder and within minutes, my eyes and nose were watering. The sounds are ridiculously loud even with earmuffs on and that's coming from me, the girl who went to EDC and went in the first row without earplugs. The girl who accidentally took off her earmuffs @ the outdoor range and was like "oh, it's not that loud" I would say the instructors are very helpful and do teach you how to do everything if you don't know - everything in the range is even adjusted for you so you don't need to worry about resetting the gun/rifle and flipping safety on and off. All you need to do is point and shoot. It is fun shooting guns after all and there aren't that many places in the east end where you can do that, so I'd say give it a try if you have no other options to go to. Some of their targets are super close too, so you can definitely hit a few bullets on bullseye as well - seriously, I've never shot so close. Not a bad idea, but also not the cheapest one. read more

We were invited by friends who are members. It was a lot of fun, never expected that I will enjoy target shooting. It's a great way to de-stress! read more

I've only been shooting one other time before coming here. I had a lot of fun and thought I'd give it another shot (pun not intended). A coworker and I came on a Tuesday afternoon. Once buzzed in we filled out a form and got to choose what guns we wanted and how many rounds. We went with a handgun, rifle and shotgun. There's a brief lesson on how to handle the guns and what you should and should not do. Then select plastic glasses and ear protectors and wait for your turn. Our instructor set up the gun and reminded us how to hold the guns when shooting. The recoil on the shotgun was much more than I experienced last time. The instructor had a hand out behind me to prevent me from falling over haha. If you decide you want to shoot more rounds than you had initially decided on it's okay since the instructor brings extras into the range. I will definitely go back but not too soon since it's not exactly a cheap activity. I had 10 rounds of the handgun and rifle and 4 of the shotgun and that set me back $82. read more

I came here with a group of friends on a Saturday afternoon to try the $100 beginner's package, which included 10 rounds each of 2 pistols and 2 rifles with red dot attachments. We received clear instruction on safety and how to shoot before entering the range and it was super fun! I would definitely come back again but I would highly recommend against going on a weekend because it was pretty packed. With so many people (25ish) going in at once, it was difficult to physically maneuver around and I felt pressured to rush my shots because others were waiting for their turn. Also, it was much harder to focus when right and left I was hearing gunshots going off and if you're around my size, you definitely get shook from those vibrations. Overall the facility was clean, the staff were friendly, and the experience was very exciting! read more

Typically bachelor parties involve the strip club, the bar, or maybe gambling. But for whatever reason, my buddies leaned a little more towards the violent side of things, so off we went to gun range at Target Sports Canada. Before I go on, note that my experience with guns and ammunition is limited to Call of Duty and Halo, so take my opinion with several grains of salt. Target Sports is a gun range and store located in a fairly secluded area in Stouffville, (for obvious reasons). Judging by their ample supply of guns and gun related equipment for sale, they appear to be a one stop shop for gun enthusiasts. Being new to firearms, it quickly became clear that having guns as a hobby is like shooting dollars with each round. The group package that we purchased came up to approximately $90 each. That fee availed us to an introductory session on firearms use within the range, use of four weapons, and 40 bullets spread across those weapons. As far as I know, shooting in general is just not that cheap, instead of things being particular pricey at Target Sports. Our instructor for the introductory session was very clear in his instruction, and managed to lighten the mood while doing so. This helps when you have a room full of jittery new gun users about to handle deadly weapons. Once we made it into the range, we had the opportunity to shoot a 9 mm, a .40", a .45", and an AR15. (Felt a little morally compromised about that last one.) All except for the AR15 were handguns. Each station was accompanied by an instructor who stands by as you get to shootin'. The whole experience was a good bit of exhilaration, that I won't soon forget. Though I don't think I'll be doing this all that often, I can see why people enjoy it. If you haven't tried your hand at shooting, Target Sports is a great choice for that first round. read more

A good place to shoot if you are new to shooting. However, there is a lack of variety of guns on the weekend. In addition, it would be a great idea to have additional guns for the larger rifles so the wait time is decreased. read more

I've been to this location twice and I have absolutely nothing bad to say. They are safe, informative and fun. It something I think everyone should try. I came here for my birthday with my mom and brought my best friend here for Christmas. It's a fairly simple process. You come in and sign a waiver and show government id. They give you a brief lesson in a mini class room. You pick out the guns you would like to shoot then they accompany and instruct you as you shoot them. Everyone there is really funny and made the experience enjoyable. I'll definitely be back. read more

What you can expect from the $100 package: 1. 10 rounds of 9mm (hand gun) 2. 10 rounds of .40 Smith and Wesson (hand gun) 3. 10 rounds of .223 Remington (rifle) 4. 10 rounds of .308 Winchester (rifle) 5. You get to keep your 4 target sheets (one for each type of gun) and free to pick up any used bullet casings/shells on the floor as souvenirs. Tips: -Wear the ear plugs before you put on the ear muffs. More protection for your ears won't hurt. -They don't take bookings for groups less than 8 people. On the weekends, try to get there earlier if you can to avoid long waiting times. (e.g. we got there at 4:00pm on a Saturday and had to wait until 5:30pm) -Go to the washroom just before the lesson if this is your first time. The loud gunshots and recoils that you will experience might make you a bit nervous at first. But you will be fine! The time from the lesson to the end of the session took close to 1.5 hours for us on a Saturday late afternoon (for a group of approx. 18 ppl). We got a really funny instructor which was a bonus! This makes for a great birthday group event. read more

Target Sports Canada - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Gormley, Ontario

I've been here 3 times and have loved it every time. To be honest your experience will totally depend on the mood of the range officer who's working when you're there. I've been lucky and have always gotten someone nice and cheerful, but i can understand having a bad time if they're in a crappy mood. That said i still plan on continuing to come here and will definitely be bringing new people. First off, it's ridiculously busy. As in if you're not there within the first hour or two of opening (as a walk-in) you're not going to get to shoot. This was a real surprise the first time we went there and ended up waiting about 3 hours to shoot, but was totally worth the wait. Also if you're a walk-in you'll be second to anyone with an appointment (which makes sense i guess). I wouldn't bother going on a weekend, it'll just be too busy and rushed to enjoy yourself, especially in the summer when school's out. Prices you can find online, but basically the more you shoot the more you pay, the sniper and rifle bullets were out of stock 2 out of the 3 times i've been there, but they've always had pistol and shotgun ammo. All three times it's worked out to around $100 per person. I didn't realize until after but you can/should tip the range officers. You get a quick safety lesson, and then led out to the range accompanied by the range officier, which is why you're allowed to shoot a gun without a license. They basically look over your shoulder as you shoot to make sure you don't do anything stupid or dangerous. If you ask they'll be happy to help you with your position and give you tips to improve your accuracy. I always like asking them about their favourite guns and why they like them. I've definitely noticed a huge improvement in my accuracy with a pistol after 3 visits (i'm still pretty bad with the shotgun and rifle). Some tips: -You can't go alone without a license (i think they're worried about you killing yourself), so a group of 2 is the minimum. A group of 4 is probably the biggest i'd go for a first time, otherwise most of your time will be watching while the other people shoot. -You buy all your ammo at the beginning, so you can't go out to buy more ammo and then go back in to the range. -Be respectful to the range officer, they deal with a lot of idiots so don't take it personally if they assume the worst. -They don't say it on the website, but your photo id MUST have your address on it. Our friend who doesn't have a drivers license was told her CANADIAN PASSPORT isn't a valid form of photo id (that's a new one). They "made a one time exception" though, so that was nice of them. That was really the only negative part of our visit. Overall i had an AMAZING time and it is one of the few places where I get super excited (to the point of not being able to sleep the night before) when I plan a visit. Great place to go for your first time shooting a gun. read more

I wanted a unique experience for my son's 18 cake day. Well this was it. My wife, son, and I signed up for a shooting session. The instructions were VERY clear. These guys know their stuff. Seriously, things could go very tragically wrong if poor or unclear instructions were given. A very LOUD and fun experience. I signed up for my PAL course there as well. Highly recommended. read more

As a member I've been mostly satisfied with the place. Staff and generally good and only get better with time. They provide a SAFE place to shoot and have decent ranges and training rooms. The retail area is getting better and their selection is limited but good. Retail prices are standard. Given the high cost of membership and annual maintenance I would expect a bit better daily maintenance on the member lanes, but the facility is good. read more

We came here on a Saturday afternoon and they happen to have a weekend package for $100 per person. In this package you get to fire four different types of guns. This includes two handguns, 1 shotgun, and one rifle. When we first walked in we were greeted by a staff member working in the retail section which point it out to sign waivers. After you you signed the waiver you register for the next time slot for the group session. We got there at 1:30 but the session didn't start until 2 p.m. . We spent 30 minutes exploring the venue which was clean, and nicely themed. When the session started we were brought into a classroom to go over safety rules the most important rule is to listen to the officers there. Most of the time you really just have to remember to take your finger off the trigger and put the gun down afterwards. Then we were given free goggles and earmuffs to borrow because the gun range is very very loud. Once you get into the gun range you take turns across various stations to try out the different guns. The staff is very professional and gives you tips on how to aim, and how to fire properly. The experience was great as it was my first time. For each gun you get about 10 rounds for 2 pistols and 5 rounds for the shotgun and rifle. you get to keep your target paper and any shell casings you find on the floor as souvenirs. It works great if you go with a group it is a great weekend activity for the price. I believe you usually have to pay per round or magazine and only start with a pistol so having the chance to try various guns in a packed fixed price of $100 tax included, I'd say it's worthwhile. read more

Can't really compare this to any other gun range as I don't partake in this activity but I can say for a complete this place was really awesome. Was taken there for my birthday by some really imaginative and considerate people (I've always expressed an interest in guns) and I had a blast! (Pun perhaps intended) The people take safety seriously and really take their time walking you through how to handle a firearm so that you genuinely feel comfortable holding one. It was nonetheless a pretty daunting experience but one I'd love to have again. read more

Target Sports Canada - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Gormley, Ontario

The following is my review of Target Sports Canada. I completed my RPAL training at Target Sports Canada and was a member of their range for over a year. I want to share my experience with others so that they know what to expect when attending this range as a customer or if they are considering potentially becoming a member here. For ease of reading I'm going to list some points that I would like people to be aware of: 1. Target Sports Canada makes most of their money from Walk in Groups. Therefore, these groups get complete precedence over their range members. 2. The second thing people should know is that the level of Security & Safety monitoring on the Target Sports Canada range is minimal at best. I witnessed other members doing all sorts of stupid things: Shooting the floor, Roof, shelf of the stall and various parts of the pulley system, sweeping (pointing their gun) in unsafe directions including at other members, casing and uncasing of firearms off the firing line. These occurrences went unnoticed by Target Sports Canada staff. 3. The two shooting ranges are in a poor state of repair. There are often maintenance issues and for some reason Target Sports Canada likes to perform maintenance during open times instead of when the range is closed. 4. Range equipment is broken or lacking. I had to purchase my own stool to sit on for rested or bench shooting. Many of the target pulley systems on each stall are broken or malfunctioning. The lanes for each stall are not marked and there is no identification of distance on any of the target pulleys or floor. 5. Most of the staff at Target Sports Canada are rude, disinterested or have an air of complete superiority "Gods gift to shooting" attitude. Customer service here is almost totally lacking. Unless your spending a large sum be prepared to be treated like you're an inconvenience. 6. Buyer Beware! Range membership for a year is -=[NOT REFUNDABLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!]=- It doesn't matter if you paid for it 5 days ago or 5 months ago once you pay for a year's membership that's it! 7. You need to watch other people in the range for things like stealing your targets and wasting your shooting time. "Hey can you fix my, show me how to fire my, talk about my gun" 8. The training courses for the PAL and RPAL at Target Sports Canada are both awesome. I really enjoyed both. The instructor is a cool guy. He and his wife both run the course he teaches while his wife handles the paperwork and deals with refreshments and coffee breaks. 9. They have an unsafe Safety Shoot during witch they ask you to turn a pistol around and look up the barrel (with it pointed at your head) as part of the check. Not a good idea for a new shooter! 10. Their On-Line store is awful. To summarise my review I would like to say that if you're looking for a place to go to experience shooting a gun and you don't mind paying a large sum of cash to fire a small amount of ammo to do so then Target Sports Canada is the place to go. Also if you're looking for a place to do your PAL / RPAL course Target Sports Canada is also an excellent choice. If you are looking for a range to be a member at and shoot at regularly, where you will be treated with respect and get good value for your membership money this is not a good choice at all. Please heed my points above and think carefully before you decide to join Target Sports Canada as a full time range member. I was speaking about Target Sports Canada with the staff at my LGS they said that "Target Sports is not a range, it's an amusement park with guns." read more

Excellent place to learn to shoot or get some practice in. Huge selection of new and consignment firearms. Many shooting bays to choose from, with multiple bullet calibres to shoot. They often have IDPA and other competitions there, including training to get your holster qualifications. Staff is friendly, helpful and prices are fair. read more

Great place for new shooters to experience target shooting. While a little pricey it's definitely worth it to get into the sport. The safety instruction was well explained, however I wish they provided and encouraged both in ear and over the ear hearing protection as it's quite loud even with the over ear protection. read more

If you're borrowing a set of earmuffs from the store, definitely go for the black/red set - they seem to be about 50% more muffled than the grey set (found out much to the chagrin of my husband's poor earballs). There seem to be two rooms available, Room A and Room B, each of which has roughly 10 stalls. I think Room A is for handguns only, and it seems to be the busier room of the two. We stayed in Room B during our visit, and while there were still a constantly rotating roster of people in it, there was almost always an empty lane or two. People here are friendly and courteous. Almost everyone kindly used the shared broom to sweep up empty shells from behind the red line so as not to leave a mess for others. Sheets aren't expensive (about $1 for 6 sheets), except for specialty prints, such as a "zombie" which was probably about $2-$4 - or you can also just bring your own. Max range was 25m, if you push your sheet all the way to the back of the room. Bathrooms are not nice and could definitely use a good scrub-down, but who's going to a gun range for the bathroom anyway? :) read more

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, exactly on the date. I called beforehand to book but they take reservations THREE WEEKS IN ADVANCE. So I didn't make it... but they suggested going early before opening. The day comes, we were there 15min before opening. We were allowed in 5min to. There was another group. That group and us, we were the first FOUR people. The next groups who came (just 5min after opening) had to wait one hour and their ammo was limited to 50 plus a round of shotgun or rifle. LESSON: COME EARLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now onto our experience.... ZOMG IT WAS SO AMAZING. Colin was our Range Officer and he was patient, really kind, funny, friendly, and everything pleasant. He gave my boyfriend (as a birthday surprise) an extra round of 9mm for the pistol and have him shoot a fast-approaching zombie target. That was super cool. ===========Price=========== Price is $40 per person plus cost of ammo. Our total cost was about $100 per person. We shot the... (please excuse my inability to remember any of the guns' names) - Canadian police pistol 9mm - 50 bullets for $25 - American police pistol 9mm - 50 bullets for $25 - A revolver .357mag - 6 bullets for $7 - A shotgun - 5 bullets for $10 - A sniper rifle .223 - 5 bullets for $15 ===========The Procedure=========== Come in before they open, sign the waiver using driver's licence as ID (they will check), sit in a classroom to learn about safety and how to hold a gun, demonstrate to the instructor that you can properly hold the gun. Your group will then be assigned a Range Officer. You'll get to pick the guns and ammo you'd like to try. Our officer was very patient with us and suggested the guns based on our novice level and the amount of fun we'd like to have that day. If the gun you'd like to try is taken (i.e. that one and only sniper gun), see if it's available when you finish shooting all your other guns. That's what we did. After you put on headphones and safety glasses, you will be taken into the indoor shooting room. VERY loud there and very warm. Dress appropriately!! I did see dudes with flip flops in there... I didn't want the hot bullet shells to fly onto my barefeet. One actually hit me in the face but it wasn't so bad luckily... You pay at the end when you finish all your ammo. We were there for about 2 hours. And you get to keep all your targets! I kept my shotgun zombie target, all my bullets were to its brains :D ===========What it was like...=========== That was my first time ever holding a real gun. And I shot it. And I shot a shotgun. And I don't remember a single name of any of those guns. I was really scared using the shotgun but I didn't let anyone except my boyfriend know this, in case the officer took it away from me. Although he probably could tell. The recoil was very big, very scary, and very very very scary. On my last bullet, I held the gun wrong and it recoiled straight to my upper arm (instead of to the fat next to my boob), and oh my god did it hurt for two days. Our officer gave me an extra hand and held the end of the shotgun for me because it was wayyy to heavy (my short arms couldn't reach past the middle of the gun). The revolver is heavier than it looks... I shot 5 times to bull's eye with the pistol. For realz There is a shotgun that says Princess with sparkles. The Hello Kitty one is a rifle whose name I do not know. ===========Location=========== You can't see it when you're on Woodbine and Stouffville Rd. You really have to drive to the corner of Gormley and Stalwart for the entrance. read more

Today I took some friends visiting from Australia . We walked in and this is how it went. Gun Guy - Can I help you folks? Me - we're here to try out the range Gun Guy - yeah, you guys picked the wrong time to come up. The range is closed for maintenance until Sat. Me - really? I was just on your website and there was no mention of it being closed. Gun Guy - umm, we only posted in on our Facebook. Me - why not your website? Gun Guy - nobody really goes there, we're not that famous. Me - I went there... Gun Guy - Blank stare For the record, neither the website nor their Facebook page had any mention of it. Good job Gun Guy! read more

First they tell you on the phone that they don't take reservations for groups, but to come in as it shouldn't be too busy. Then you arrive in the middle of nowhere only to be told there is a 3 1/2 hour wait AFTER we filled out all the paperwork. When we complained we were asked why we didn't book ahead! Apparently they take reservations when they feel like it. Terrible and unsympathetic service. This place survives entirely because of a lack of competition. Go eleswhere if you value your time. read more

I came with two friends a while back during winter break because I wanted to give this a try. It came up to about 100 after everything, but was worth every penny. We were given two pistols and two rifles with 10 rounds each during our session. The staff were extremely helpful, witty and friendly. We felt secure around them because they knew when to plant their foot down (they threatened to throw a guy out for mishandling the gun). It was a great first experience and would definitely recommend this location if youre a first timer and just want to get this off your bucket list. read more

Tough place to review fairly - there is some really good here mixed with some genuinely mediocre. Let's start with the nice, shall we? It's a well-maintained range with a decent number of lanes, ample parking, and fair prices in the Toronto area, where you options are otherwise profoundly limited. The staff are all friendly and they take advance reservations for groups. As I walk in the door, they're a 4 star joint. BUT The safety training is pretty weak. The ranges I've been to in the states, even in crazy towns like Vegas, are much more thorough with their safety lectures, especially for first time shooters (we had some in our group). No discussion of dealing with misfires/hangfires, no "don't touch the trigger until you're ready to fire." Just very basic "keep it downrange, don't let the slide cut your thumb." AND the selection of handguns is mediocre. I saw mostly 9mm and .40s. There were, I think, 2 .45s, 1 .357, and maybe no .38s? AND they don't deal well with walk-ins. While our group was registering, we watched them turning away walk-ins because, at 1:30pm, they were already over-capacity for the day with bookings. Nice to be popular and all, but the folks sure looked disappointed. The safety training loses them a point all on its own, and the other stuff would knock em down another. Here's how they earn back that third star: - They have a decent selection of rifles (bolt and semi-auto) and shotguns, which are often absent from american ranges since they need a longer laneway. - They mitigate the weak safety training somewhat by having multiple range officers helping your group. - Zombie targets. Here's the lowdown, kids: If you're curious to try shooting and haven't before, get a group together, book in advance, watch a safety video on youtube before you go, and you'll have a great time. If, on the other end of the spectrum, you have your own firearms and know how to use them, by all means hit this place - the low points won't impact you and the range and staff are high quality. If you're in that middle group though - using a range like a bowling alley as a thing to do with friends from time to time - if you've been to other ranges and maybe you're visiting toronto and thinking about checking it out? Don't expect it to be a 5-star joint. And book ahead. read more

I actually felt pretty nervous and intimidated going into a gun range, but Target Sports Canada made my first time shooting super comfortable and I had an awesome adrenaline-filled experience there I was surprised to see so many people on a Sunday afternoon - didn't know gun ranges were this popular! Luckily, since I came with a large group, we were able to book a time slot, allowing us to avoid the whole drop-in process. Before shooting, you have to attend a mandatory mini safety session in a classroom-like setting, where an employee discusses the do's and don'ts of shooting, and the different parts of the gun etc. Super thankful for this, because it definitely made me feel more comfortable and aware. I've had friends that have no experience go to gun ranges and skeet shooting in the States, and some of their stories are a bit concerning because they were just allowed to go into the range with no formal instruction on how to handle the gun.. (THANK YOU CANADA for being more strict) But anyways, after the session, you have to put on ear mufflers and eye goggles before going into the actual range - they also have ear plugs as well if you want to wear both. You're instructed to stand behind a line at all times if you're not shooting. And every time you're done shooting, you must place the gun back down on the table. The whole time you're shooting, an employee stands right beside you, instructing on how to hold the gun, your posture etc. I really appreciated this since this made me feel so much more at ease. You also get to keep the targets that you shot! This probably wouldn't be a regular activity for me. But if I were to go to a gun range again, I'd definitely come back and recommend other beginners to go here! read more

Have you ever wanted to shoot a zombie in the face? If you don't want to sit around waiting for a zombie attack, head on over to Target Sports Canada! Weapons galore in a controlled safe environment. You don't need a gun license to try out various firearms, but if you don't have a license you have to bring a friend. They allow group reservations as well. $40 bucks per person plus the ammo that you use. It's reasonably priced for the all the fun you get to have! The instructors are helpful going through safe handling of firearms, how to load, hold, and fire your gun. They are always there to assist and supervise. I tried about 6 firearms. Various glocks, but by far my favorite was the 12 gauge shotgun. The target is a picture of a zombie! I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I'm totally prepared for a zombie attack. I wonder if shotguns come in pink! read more

This place is an awesome place for first-timers. I was in a group of 4 where we each got the weekend package deal that included 2 handguns, 1 rifle and 1 shotgun for $106. Prior to shooting, you must sign a waiver and then you have a brief safety class that goes over how to handle the guns safely and how to aim. They also go over the safety rules within the shooting range such as standing behind the red line, always wearing your ear and eye protections at all times. We went early on a Sunday morning as a staff member said it can get quite busy and you may have to wait to shoot. We arrived around 10:30AM and signed our waiver and started the safety class at 11:30AM, which wasn't bad. The whole thing took approximately 1.5 - 2 hrs. As a first-time shooter, the staff really made this experience good for me as they were great at explaining how to properly handle the guns, very encouraging and patient as I had to take breaks in between every few shots as I was a tad scared. I wanted to shoot the shotgun last, but I guess I took too long and the guy supervising it packed the gun away by the time I had the courage to get to it. I spoke to one of the staff and he took the gun out and let me shoot without any hostility. I greatly appreciated this. read more

Terrible customer service. Our range master was unfriendly and seemed so not interested in us or providing an informative first time experience. There was three of us in the group and he only seemed to want to rush us off the range and gave no help or instruction in correcting our shooting technique. Such a shame as we did enjoy trying different firearms and would like to return, but not too likely with Target Sports Canada. Expensive too! read more

BANG! I have been pining to hit this range for a long time. It's a bit of a trek to get to, but its definitely worth it. Making an appointment is definitely recommended so that you don't have to wait in line for too long. They have a lot of space dedicated to their products, so their actual inventory of guns for the range is small if you are not looking to buy. This is a great place to get some post exam steam out of your system (University Students take note!) and its much less expensive that a night out (Clubbing and Drinking costs) read more

Love, love, love this place. Went here for the first time with my brother and cousin. I'm very familiar with firearms while my party wasn't. Our ranger officer was very thorough, patient, and allowed us to have fun with 3 different types of pistols. For $100, it was worth shooting a 45. I'm coming back to take the non-restricted and restricted firearm license. The facility was clean, well equipped, and not too far from Downtown Toronto. read more

Target Sports Canada - Gotta come dressed for the occasion - Gun/Rifle Ranges Near Me - Gormley, Ontario

My boyfriend and I were given gift certificates to this place for Christmas a couple of years ago, but just couldn't find the time to go. This weekend we finally made it out and it was... ok. I'm not a fan of things than make loud surprising noises. But I've always wanted to try shooting a gun. Our range officer was really nice and assured me that I would "love it". We tried 4 different guns and several rounds of ammo. When I shot the first handgun, I wanted to give up-- immediately and permanently. But the Range Officer was really encouraging and coaxed me back into it. It was hard to hear instructions with the protective gear on my ears, so I thank him for also being patient with my lack of hearing. I can't say that I LIKED shooting the guns, but I'm glad I went and did it once. If I became more comfortable with it and did it often enough, I might like it more. The three stars are because it was insanely expensive. Over $200 for 100 rounds in the handguns. 10 for the shotgun and 10 for the rifle. After the combined total of the gift certificates which was $130, we still owed just over $100. Not cheap, but I can knock it off the bucket list and say that it was an afternoon that I'll never forget. read more

Came here Friday night with a member to enjoy the shooting range, only to be met with 3 very RUDE and RACIST employees. Robyn, Lukis and a very rude female attendant. I understand it was the end of the day, they were very short staffed (they said) but it is unacceptable how we were treated at Target Sports Canada. Not only was the staff very dismissive to us while we were registering, but they pulled out my friend from his lane to check his credentials and ID after we were already registered - WITH ZERO EXPLANATION TO WHAT WAS GOING ON - I understand the safety measures needed to take, but the way my friend was treated, and the dismissive nature of the manager on duty when checking his credentials was APPALLING. I have never in my life experienced racism to this degree. Due to this incident with the rude unmannered staff, we were able to shoot for a total of 12 minutes. When I called to speak with a manager above, I was told that you can not know a racist from the first time meeting them. Julie and Edgar, two managers both dismissed the situation even though they were not present nor did they experience the discrimination or prejudice we experienced. They denied all racists, rude acts even though they witnessed the wait and treatment we dealt with through their cameras. Edgar also said many lies through the phone while dismissing my claims, saying that we shot up until 9pm. (staff member came in and made us stop shooting at 8:48 I have camera footage of this you can hear the employee in the back telling us to stop- with a range full of members. I am appalled and truly shocked that in 2022, in Canada two young employees and a manager can show such discrimination. read more

Had a great first experience here, and felt like a total badass shooting some guns. I came with a group of 14 people for a friend's birthday. We had reservations, so there was no problem getting waivers signed and ID checked and equipment ready to go. Despite looking a little intimidating at first, all the staff members ended up being very nice, professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Of course they take safety very seriously here, so I felt comfortable the whole time. We each paid $100 and got to shoot the following: 20 rounds of 9MM 20 rounds of .40S&W 10 rounds of .45ACP 5 shells of 12 gauge 00 buckshot Staff members help you load your guns and supervise you while you shoot, and also provide you with tips on holding the gun and positioning your body. It's a pretty cool experience, but 20 rounds goes by really quickly when you are just shooting away. They are cool about letting you take photos and videos as long as it's for your own personal use, and they also let you take the bullet casings home with you if you so wish! Plus you get to keep all of your targets for cool souvenirs. I will say though that I wish it could somehow be made more interactive for people who book group events... like encourage people to keep score to make it more competitive? But in the end this is still a really fun activity to do with a group of friends, and just a cool experience overall to hold and shoot a real gun. read more

Target is my home club. Even though I'm new to the pew pew life, the staff always have time to answer my questions, help me make decisions about hardware upgrades and purchases and any other newbie questions I might have. The guys and gals behind the counter are the best! The facilities have undergone some major upgrades so this is shaping up to be one terrific place to come and squeeze a few rounds off. They have a fully stocked store with excellent prices on everything from ammo and supplies to restricted and non restricted firearms. Come on in and and have some fun! read more

Came here for the first time, we called ahead to ask about the process. Basically you show up with your ID. Sign a waiver, go to class where they give you general instructions. Then choose your weapon ( we got a handgun, revolver and a rifle) 10 bullets each. Then headed to the field with our instructor Edgar. We wore earplugs and glasses ( i had my prescription glasses on so they were enough). He loads the gun, shows us how to shoot then we took turns shooting. Obviously the guns were loud but it was ok. Edgar took pictures for everyone and they looked good. I would definitely come back for more later. read more

Bad Customer service. Over Prize. Best place for lead poisoning and heavy metal.Bad ventilation system. Please if you go wear respiratory mask. You will notice their employee always wear mask but don't tell customer to bring your own.They are not my enemy but its honest opinion.Only few bullets you fire and you pay more than 100 dollars easily.And if you are a member they will take your membership but after that will keep looking how to kick you out. Will not explain rules easily. Very arrogant staff. on the other hand i find Silverdale shooting range is very friendly only problem is its outdoor and in winter its a problem. But in summer very good and nice staff. read more
