Remember: You don't have to be on an Olympic team. Just be practicing a discipline recognized by the Olympics, even if that is just a once a week casual bullseye shoot.

EDIT: I would direct your inquiries to these guys.

Do you have to submit your scores? Like how does that work, a coach has to watch you shoot once in awhile?

I believe you have to shoot in one sanctioned match.

Thanks for the reply! Per year I presume?

Not sure about keeping the exemption, I haven't gotten that far.

I know the path now, it was explained to me by several club members, I just need to find a loaner handgun for the initial shoot.

I was told by a club here that getting into airgun shooting is a foot in the door towards a handgun exemption.

The other guy is wrong, again. I Purchased an air pistol and practiced and documented my training sessions, submitted them to the sfc and they helped me get an exemption letter.
