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?

IM SORRY WHAT IS A .22 EXEMPTION AND HOW DO I GET IT

You can get an exemption to buy a 22 pistol if you partake in an Olympic shooting discipline (train for, compete in, or desire to compete in). You don’t need to be good, just wanting to compete/train. Depending on your provinces there are different regulatory bodies for it. The sfc covers most of Canada, the bctsa covers bc. Not sure about what else
