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.
The only competitions in the Ottawa area that I know of is in Arnprior. At the RA center, we practice every Wednesday and track our scores. I don't think they accept it as legitimate records but will soon probably.
Was for competitions at the RA center, we are a long way from hosting one as our turning targets aren't working. We still need to get that setup as the wires were shot out by some one.
