The Club

The Eastern Ontario Shooting Club is a non-profit corporation that operates on CFO-approved shooting ranges, rented from the landowner.

• Facilities are for use by members and invited guests only. 
• No range rentals or day passes are offered. 
• No firearm rentals or ammunition for sale.

Operating Hours

The facility is open 365 days a year, unless extraordinary circumstances require the range to be closed (ex: CFO inspections). If this occurs, members will be notified via the website News section.

The gate system will only allow entrance as of 8:30AM to ensure compliance with allowable shooting hours.

Shooting is permitted Monday to Sunday ONLY during the following hours:

• Centerfire & Black Powder Long Arms: 9AM to 6PM/dusk (whichever comes first)
• Handgun & Rimfire: 9AM to 8PM/dusk (whichever comes first)

Any changes to the above hours will be posted on the club’s Events Calendar and News section.

**Shooting outside of allowed hours is the # 1 reason ranges are shut down.**
