Got my 22 exemption recently and had the joy of picking up this puppy in the mail. Any pointers for someone new to pistol shooting?

Do share your exemption story.

No story, just joined the bctsa and they issued me a letter for it, can give more in depth description if you’re also from bc

I am also part of the bctsa how many practices and matches did you attend before applying for your exemption?

Didn’t attend any, you just need to be wishing to train, there’s a section on their website with a pre formatted exemption letter request and you just need to check if the “is training for” box
