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.

18 u/Vintage_Pieces_10 May 14 '26 Do you have to submit your scores? Like how does that work, a coach has to watch you shoot once in awhile? 33 u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 May 14 '26 I believe you have to shoot in one sanctioned match. 37 u/MBGLK May 14 '26 I received mine by submitting pictures of my range sessions, never competed. 5 u/Vlad217 qb May 14 '26 Any chance you could ecplain the process you went trough? 6 u/[deleted] May 14 '26 You fill out a form and get the letter. Do it through a provincial association. 8 u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 May 14 '26 Which provincial organization is that? What is posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/canadaguns/comments/1t168ta/pistol_exemption_process/ Seems to be the process I was told about. ONTarget provincial pistol association runs the sanctioned events at the club I shoot at. Yes, it does seem like there is a Catch-22 - need a pistol to shoot, need to shoot to get the exemption? 3 u/Unfair_Valuable_3816 May 15 '26 yeah that doesnt make much sense. which makes sense in todays age
