  • 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.
