Shooting Packages

At Silverdale Gun Club, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience the excitement of shooting in a safe, welcoming, and professionally supervised environment. Whether you’re checking an item off your bucket list, looking for a unique activity with friends or family, or simply curious about what it’s like to shoot a firearm, no firearms licence, membership, or previous experience is required.

Our experienced Range Officers will guide you through every step, ensuring you feel comfortable, confident, and safe throughout your visit. Simply choose the package that’s right for you and contact us to book your experience today.

Children are welcome to participate with a parent or legal guardian’s consent and supervision. While there is no minimum age requirement, we generally recommend participants be at least 12 years old, depending on their maturity and ability to safely handle a firearm under the direction of our Range Officers.

All package prices are per person (aside from #6: Dynamic Duo) and include everything you need for your experience:

• Firearms
• Ammunition
• Instruction from a Range Officer
• Range fees and insurance
• Eye and hearing protection (safety glasses, ear plugs, and ear muffs) if required

Just bring yourself with government issued ID and we’ll take care of the rest!

All standard sessions are booked for 1.5 hours on the range, with the exception of Package 8, which is a 3-hour experience.

Each booking includes supervision by one Range Safety Officer (RSO), with group sizes varying by package:

• Packages 1, 2, 3 & 5
  Maximum of 8 participants per time slot (1 RSO)
• Packages 4 & 6
  Maximum of 6 participants per time slot (1 RSO)
• Package 7
  Minimum of 4 participants and maximum of 6 participants per time slot (1 RSO)
• Package 8
  Maximum of 5 participants for a 3-hour booking (1 RSO)

Please note: We do not mix packages, if it is a large group everyone must select the same package. 

We have multiple Range Safety Officers on staff, allowing us to accommodate larger groups and multiple bookings at the same time. If you are planning a larger group event, please contact us directly and we will be happy to assist with scheduling.

We recommend booking 3–4 weeks in advance during the spring and summer months, as appointments often fill quickly.

Government-issued identification is mandatory. Every person entering the property must present valid government-issued identification, including children. If you are bringing your own firearms for a supervised shoot, you MUST have your PAL physically with you at the range. If you do not, your appointment will be cancelled and no refunds will be given. 

Accepted forms of ID include:

• Driver’s Licence
• Passport
• Ontario Photo Card
• Birth Certificate (for children)
• Other government-issued identification

Eye Protection:

You are welcome to wear your own prescription glasses or sunglasses. If you don’t have eye protection, we’ll provide safety glasses at no additional charge.

What should I wear?

Dress comfortably and appropriately for the weather!

• Closed-toe shoes (required) such as running shoes
• A light jacket or higher-necked shirt to help protect against the occasional hot brass casing

Open-toed shoes, including sandals and flip-flops, are not permitted on the range.

To help us manage bookings fairly and efficiently, we require a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for any cancellations or rescheduling requests.

Cancellations or changes made with at least 48 hours’ notice will be eligible for a refund of your deposit.

Cancellations made with less than 48 hours’ notice, as well as no-shows, will result in the forfeiture of your deposit.

Please note:

• Changes to your booking (including number of participants or package selection) must also be made at least 48 hours in advance
• We are unable to make changes upon arrival on the day of your appointment

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

We know many guests want to capture memories of their experience at SGC, and we’re happy to help you do so safely!

For safety reasons, no photos may be taken while firearms are loaded or in use.

Once your shooting package is complete as long as time permits our instructors will be happy to provide time for photos with unloaded firearms.

If you wish to record video during your experience, please speak with your Range Officer before your session begins so we can ensure it is done safely and appropriately.

To help your experience run smoothly, please complete your pre-visit form and waiver before arrival. This is in your confirmation and reminder email!
