Application / Regulation advice Exemption in Nova scotia

Can anyone help me to understand how can I qualify for it in NS? I can see other provinces are having this

I have restricted license and want to have 22lr handgun for target shooting. I have gun club membership. Do I need to get black badge course?

Nope, as a start you need an endorsement letter from the Shooting Federation of Canada. To request an Exemption Letter each individual:

Must be a member in good standing of the SFC Must have a RPAL Must be a member of a club 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.
