I waited about a month, but re-read the web page you download it from and resubmitted my form completed properly and received a few days later. Just sent another and have been waiting two weeks so far.

BCTSA said they’re no longer issuing multiple exemptions. One and only unless you provide proof you’re competing (this was new last week or so)

Yes. I just read that too. Honestly dont even need multiple unless im actually competing and need a better performance setup. Initially i plan to take part in training and local competitions that are held at the range. Im surprised at the frequency of these competitions. There one every couple weeks!
