We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot?

my fiancee took the course in Barrie, she enjoyed it and said it was great.

I challenged the PAL exam in Toronto, forget the name now but it was in a hotel right off of 401.

for real?? I thought you were just starting out with shooting. My bad.

either way though, I thought all ranges required you to have taken a holster course (black badge course) before you can draw from the holster at the firing line

Every range I have been to so far run their own in house holster course, that is only recognized at their facility but allows you to shoot there. Or if you have a black badge that is recognized at any range

You are correct. I'm a new shooter. Shot my very first round ever this past summer. However I was trained for work so I went through a very vigorous and intense course. Shooting over 3000 rounds for 8 hours everyday over the course of a month, in various timed drills all from holster has a way of giving one a unique familiarity in a short span of time. I'm lucky that my range does recognizes my credentials and only requires me to do a written test to be able to shoot holstered. But that's part of the reason I joined the range I did.

Range Burlington. Which range do you go to? I sometimes shoot at Colby and at WCRA. Colby on IPSC nights, WCRA was where I took one and assisted the instructor for another BB course

Gerhardt and his wife (forget the name.. Anne?) are good instructors, too. That's where I took my course when I knew nothing about guns. They held it at the Legion hall on Lake Shore, so I also got to hang out with cops running speed traps (they should just build an outpost in the Legion hall's parking lot lol) on my coffee breaks.

IIRC it's part of the "common sense" firearm legislation (C42??) that's working it's way through the system.

Lol I doubt it will be passed and even if they pass it it's still gonna be **** because the CFO's will find other ways to make our lives difficult and it doesn't fix most of th emajor idiocies in the FA

Canadian Firearms Safety Course

The Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) was developed in partnership with the provinces and territories, national organizations with an ongoing interest in firearms safety, and many firearms and hunter education course instructors from across Canada. This course was developed to meet the mandatory requirements of section 7 of the Firearms Act.
The legislation stipulates that individuals wishing to acquire non-restricted firearms must take the CFSC and pass the tests OR challenge and pass the CFSC tests without taking the course. Individuals wishing to acquire restricted firearms must take the CFSC and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC) and pass the tests OR challenge and pass the tests without taking either course.

[h=2]Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course[/h] In accordance with the Firearms Act, a firearms safety course focusing on restricted firearms (primarily handguns) was developed and implemented on February 1, 1999. The legislation stipulates that individuals wishing to acquire restricted firearms must take the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (CRFSC) and pass the tests OR challenge and pass the CFSC and the CRFSC tests without taking either course.

That's pretty cool. I think I only went through about 400 to 500 rounds during my Black Badge course. Can't even remember how many I fired during my armoured car training, but I'm feel it was under a few hundred over the weekend.

That's why a Black Badge course is the way to go. ;)

Only if you plan on shooting IPSC matches. Once your Black Badge expires, you're not holster-certified any more, while many club-level certs don't have an expiry date. With that being said, I shoot IPSC so I opted for BB - gets me into any match

Yes but I don't think a $100 course that allows me to practice at my range with a holster, before I actually take the black badge is a bad idea. At my range it is advertised as being a good step forward before you take the BB. I took a basic hand gun class that is mandatory before the holster course, although not on BB level it was worth the $50 IMO....I will sign up for a BB this year sometime, although it would be nice to be able to practice with real ammo at an actual range in the mean time.

When it comes to pistol courses you're better off going with OSTS
