If you're going with other people, just get a variety, and you can shoot each other's guns.

A few questions:
Do I need a gun license to shoot in a range?
How much do bullets generally cost (for say... a 9mm handgun)
It says on Wade's website that to rent a gun I need to a)bring my own gun, or b) have someone with me... does that someone need to own a gun?
TIA! | No
35+ cents for fmj. JHP will run you a buck each.
Why don't you head to poco and ask people if you can shoot their guns.

It took my gf less than 5 mins to empty 5 magazines (50rds). So probably less than 5mins.

Shotguns are allowed, as long as its not steel shot. Anything lead is good to go

Vancouver.
I am looking at DVC or Coquitlam Club
DVC hours are decent because sometimes I work late.
However Coquitlam Club does have summer hours when weather is better and I heard the place has a more relax atmosphere and good safety protocol

I would suggest the exchange on CanadianGunNutz for your first as you can find pretty much anything and you'll be getting it at a cheaper cost.
Again with all internet transactions, just follow your instinct and common sense. I've dealt with many members there before and they have all been positive. Make sure to look at their feedback!
