Default Easy Range Membership to Meet CFC Requirement

I bet many know the drill. What a nuisance this is.

I need a range membership to approve my RPAL. I will never show up to shoot my restricted firearms, I have them but they are not my thing anymore, I much prefer to shoot a rifle. But I would like to keep my RPAL and handguns, mainly to ensure grandfathering in the future..


I live in the north, don't know how much CFC cares about where the range membership is located?

Can anyone please suggest a range that will make this process easy for me during COVID isolation? And even better yet...... kinda cheap. Wifey keeps telling me this is a waste of money..... to me, it is more principle. She doesn't get it.

Thanks in advance guys.

There's a place in Pentiction or somewhere down there that does essentially virtual memberships which satisfy the requirement. Can't remember their info though.

You can get a membership from another province? Never would have guessed.

They are looking for one.

I had to send in my range membership for them to process my renewal a month ago.

However, you can't let your RPAL lapse because you need it to possess the restricteds and to buy ammo. If a range in another province will fit the requirement, there is an company called Silvercore that costs $49.00 and meets the club requirement.

Yet the CFO refused to approve my renewal until I sent proof of a range membership.
