The orientation for Hamilton is about an hour or less, you'll have a 10 min conversation with your host who will tell you the important stuff and then a walk around the grounds where they will tell you how the place "works" . They are VERY safety conscience , as a result its a very safe club. If your doing something thats not proper any and all members will let you know in a very polite manor. I find the members very helpful, offer coaching and help if you are open to improving and its very interesting collection of individuals . I'm there for the skeet shooting , I rarely shoot trap , the sporting clays course is there to remind me I'm not that talented .

Recently I started looking into just getting some BB guns etc...apparently can't fire them in Mississauga, Toronto, Wasaga or anywhere else in your yard that I have access to.

Meaning that if I went that route, I'd still be limited to only the range.

Not sure that's worth the bother. May as well get the PAL/RPAL as I can use the BB guns...only in the same places that I can use real guns.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

While still a contravention of bylaw, You can shoot bb guns inside. Your house is not a good layout for this, maybe the cottage basement provides that option. Otherwise, crown Land is possible. They are quiet so they don't attract much attention.

Didn't consider the basement actually.

Wasaga has the space at the cottage...but a nosy neighbour that's already threatened me for 'day burning' as her friend 'is the fire chief and while she doesn't want to threaten me...she will tell him'.

So it's more of an annoying neighbour up there.

How loud are these things anyway?

Less loud than hammering a nail. Distinctive sound though so a nosy neighbour can hear and call if you are shooting outside. If shooting in the basement, neighbours can't hear it.

When he was a teenager, my wife's brother was visited at gunpoint by the swat team while playing with a bb gun. A neighbour called it in as a man with a gun. Scared the poop out of him.

Yes, thats what I've been told...
I have shot there in the past, but have decided that I want to dive into clay sports a lot more.
My range has a trap field, but it only runs once a week.
