Competitions/matches Recently started my journey on becoming an "Olympic" sports shooter.

Recently started attending bullseye/sport pistol practices at the gun club. I also plan to compete in sanctioned SFC matches as well. This is the gun that I've chosen to borrow from the club in the meantime. It's a Ruger Mark II Target. The gun belongs to the club but I will stick to using this exact model every time so I can build familiarity with it.

Hopefully by the end of the year I will have accumulated enough practice sessions and matches to get an exemption letter so I can buy my own "Olympic" style handgun.

I know the state of firearm laws in Canada are trash at the moment but I will continue to enjoy the sport/hobby any way I can.

Same here brother. I am in the process or borrowing my brothers 22 pistol so I can work towards and exemption let. Any idea how much proof you have to send it before asking for an exemption letter?!

Tbh I don't know how much proof I'll need. Everyone seems to have different answers about this. At the moment I'm just logging all my practice session scores and any future match scores in a spreadsheet and I'll eventually submit that as proof. I'm going to try as early as possible to ask for an exemption. Once I have about 2-3 months of scores accumulated I'm submitting the request.
