These posts are making me so discouraged - and enormously jealous. In Ontario, there’s simply no feasible way to obtain the required exception.
I became a SFC member, requested the letter, was told I needed to compete and prove it. You can’t compete without a 22LR handgun. And you need to compete at a range/event officially recognized by the SFC and that publicly posts scores.
I’m in Ottawa - and from what I’ve seen, there’s no clear way to:
Obtain a 22LR to actually use in a competition
Find a relatively close location that SFC would deem appropriate or proof of me competing.
Has anyone else in Ontario found a realistic path to do this?
I’m a member at three local ranges but none qualify.

It's a huge Catch-22 and ONTarget is doing nothing to help Ontarians get into the sport.
ISSF is being run in Sharon (GTA area), but the orientation course was in May.
