Milsurps / Prohib First Nation Hunting Exemption in OIC

Since there's an exemption in the OIC that allows natives to hunt with their prohibited firearms, would I be allowed to take said firearm to the range to "sight it in" for hunting in the fall?

Tbh this rule is mainly for Aboriginals in remote wilderness areas like the North West Territories. I would never take a prohib to the range to sight it in, and the range leadership very likely does not want you bringing it to the range either.

If you think you are safe enough to try and use this exemption, my recommendation is to sight it in in the bush and I would highly advise you to be in a very remote area.
