So I was looking at the SFC website and it says:

  • Must be able to provide documentation substantiating that they train, compete or coach in a shooting discipline that is on the programme of the International Olympic Committee or the International Paralympic Committee.

What type of info did they require exactly?

Personally I took pictures of my targets (the best 5 shot groupings of the day once per week) for 2 months and gave them that as my training data. They were signed and dated at the range.

Did you have a range officer sign them. Also where did you get a handgun to shoot with?

Interesting. I spoke with someone at the SFC not too long ago and the specifically told me that live fire was required. Maybe you got lucky?

I just spoke with SFC and I have no idea how thos guy got through with the way he did. Good for him but they are asking for way more than he said. He mentioned a catch 22 but not what it is.

Just rent a 22 at your range.

Does the range have to be recognized or can I just do this at any range?
