Shooting galleries in and around Vancouver?

wishbone · #1 (**permalink**) Feb 07, 08

I'm expecting some of the fnk crazies to answer this one accurately...which will disturb me further.

Anyways, I want to know if there's a range that will put together for a couple of people a couple hours where they go over like handgun safety and let you fire off a few clips in a range or shooting gallery.

Is there a place that doesn't require you to be a member first? Like you can just pay for the afternoon and it covers everything?

Anywhere between here and Hope, really.

firing guns is awsome...the last range i was at though was like 4 years ago when i was on ko-samui in thailand....

basically no rules they just give you guns to fire at stacks of wood,relic cars...all sorts of shit. everything from a ak to a rocket launcher wich lit my t-shirt on fire!:nuts:

nutter fucking thais lol!

anyway, ive been wanting to go to one here in the LM for the longest time..

i think it would make a AWSOME date...

as far as im concernd,nothing says im 'crushin on you' like firing off semi-automatic weapons.

Chris and I have been looking into this for a while.

It seems like it's easier for a non-member has no gun to get into ranges in the US. Most places here want you to be a member or have your own firearm... but in the states they seem much more "drop-in friendly". So we figured we'd just locate one close to wherever we roadtrip to next.

If you find something better, do let us know though, please!

Only question the guys in Vegas had for us was "Who do you want on your target? Saddam? Or his girlfriend Osama?"

^ I don't remember off the top of my head, and didn't bookmark... But it wasn't that hard to find. I think I just messed around with google, and checked related links on some of the hits that I got.

wishbone · #18 (**permalink**) Feb 07, 08

kk i'll look into it :)

I'm a member at DVC in poco, It's an indoor range. Waiting on my P.A.L to come in the mail.

But you can rent pistols there. Basically non-members pay a drop in fee $65, includes gun rental, bux of shells, protective gear, and a target.

I suggest the Berreta storm .45

mikey · #20 (**permalink**) Feb 08, 08

Beretta cx4 storm

yo mike i know thats basically a 92F turned into a carbine but do they have AK variants that are legal in canada, like an sks or something?

my friend has a CZ 858 (czech republic version of the ak-47 "Has a longer barrell)as well as a bushmaster a3 carbine. I need to get a new stock for my 30-06 since the one I have has a split through it.
But if you get your P.A.L and get your un-restricted and restricted licenses that you can easily pick up a cz 858 for about 500-600.
