Yup, a couple buddies did this and I'm in the last stages of waiting for the approval for mine.

The Arnprior & District Rifle and Revolver Association hosts an ISSF standard and sport pistol competition every month.theybare taking May off and resuming in June. It's usually a weekend so Saturday and Sunday.

If you email the club (Ed Stevens) you can ask to borrow a handgun. There's only enough space for 6 shooters at a time so space fills up quick.

I competed there once and asked SFC for an exemption letter. Provided them my score and was able to get it and I started the transfer for a couple pistols already and just waiting for it to go through.

The CFP and CFO office did call me to follow up and said it's being scrutinized more and it used to take a week to get approved but now it's 2-3 weeks.

Np hope to see you there!

I just called the CFP office and all three of the pistols I applied for got approved.
