WECOME TO THE SHOOTING SPORTS

Competitive shooting is one of the oldest sports dating back to the 1600s where skill and accuracy were essential for survival, particularly in the New World of North America. Over the years, the sport has evolved into a very popular pastime offering a wide variety of exciting programs for young and old. Whether you are firing at bullseye targets, fast moving clay birds, steel plates, bowling pins or metal silhouettes, the sport offers everyone a lifetime of enjoyment and reward. Shooting is a sport of skill but does not require the physical demands of other sports such as hockey, football, soccer, etc. It is said that successful shooting skills rely only 5% on physical ability and 95% on mental concentration. As a result, recreational shooting is one of the very few sports where women can compete on a totally equal basis with men, where the physically challenged can participate in a competitive environment and it is a sport that can be enjoyed well into the senior years. Some of our best and most consistent competitors are in their eighties and even a few in the nineties. Safety is a primary consideration with any activity and contrary to popular belief, the shooting sports have proven to be one of the safest recreational activities available. Safe gun handling courses were offered by the shooting organizations long before they were mandated by the government and our safety record is second to none of any organized activity. As an example of the responsible attitude of those in the sport, consider that every one of our members is provided with $5 million liability insurance as part of their membership dues. The cost of this insurance is less than $10 per year. Ask yourself, what other insurance can be bought for that price and would the insurance companies be willing to offer such a policy unless the sport had proven itself to be safe and responsible? The purpose of this guide is to give you a brief introduction to the shooting sports and summarize some of the types of disciplines that are available. We have also listed a number of clubs located in Canada. This list

Fundamental Rules for Safe Firearms Handling:

1. Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of firearm safety. A safe direction means that the firearm is pointed so that even if it were to discharge, it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on the different circumstances. 2. Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. When holding a firearm, rest your trigger finger outside the trigger guard alongside the firearm. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger. 3. Always keep the firearm unloaded until ready to use. Whenever you pick up a firearm, always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger, engage the mechanical safety if possible, remove the ammunition source (magazine or ammunition from magazine tube), open the action, visually and physically inspect the chamber(s) and magazine area, which should be clear of ammunition, and leave the action open with the mechanical safety engaged. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s) leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does. FIREARMS SAFETY (from the Canadian Firearms Safety Course) ACTS A - Assume every firearm is loaded. C - Control the muzzle direction at all times. T - Trigger finger must be kept off the trigger AND out of the trigger guard. S - See that the firearm is unloaded PROVE it safe. PROVE P - Point the firearm in the safest available direction. R - Remove all cartridges. O - Observe the chamber(s) or cylinder. V - Verify the feeding path. E - Examine the bore. NOTE: When laying a firearm down (on the bench) it shall be UNLOADED AND WITH THE ACTION LEFT OPEN.
CANADIAN SHOOTING SPORTS ASSOCIATION WHO ARE WE?

The Canadian Shooting Sports Association was created in 2000 by the union of the Ontario Smallbore Federation (est. 1956) and the Ontario Handgun Association (est. 1957). The leaders of these two organizations realized the necessity of creating a large, representative body in order to better promote and protect the shooting sports. The launch of the new organization, along with new printed material, magazine and philosophy, has been a great success. The membership is rising and the Association is committed to uniting the recreational firearms community across the country. Most firearms owners have recognised the principles of safety in numbers but are unable or unwilling to apply those principles. There are approximately 5 to 6 million firearms owners in Canada and a huge potential exists within the firearms community for a large, powerful organization with established credibility, analogous with the largest organizations present in the United States. Such a move, taken on behalf of the firearms community, would help ensure the protection of the shooting sports for generations to come and could wield the necessary wherewithal to change Canadian public opinion.
Association Aims:
To promote, develop and encourage the sport of amateur shooting for recreational purposes. To conduct and supervise shooting events in those disciplines participating in the Association. To establish an association for the affiliation and integration of the shooting disciplines whose aims, objects and purposes are acceptable to the Association. To promote or manage projects, activities, enterprises, programs or other undertakings consistent with furthering the aims, objectives and purposes of the Association. To provide technical expertise, education and instruction to the shooting sports. To disseminate knowledge relative to the laws pertaining to sport shooting and thus make people aware of their obligations and responsibilities. To propose, support or oppose firearms legislation according to what the Association deems to be in the best interests of sport shooters and the broader community. To maintain official communications as approved by the Board of Directors. To aggressively oppose and counter misinformation from any source about the shooting sports and firearms ownership.

GETTING STARTED
HOW DO I START? The best way to familiarize yourself with the shooting sports is to visit your local gun club. All clubs and ranges must be inspected and approved by the provincial Chief Firearms Office (CFO) and their safety procedures are strictly adhered to. Most clubs will offer the mandatory government safety courses and provide guidance on the Firearms License application process. We have provided a listing of many approved gun clubs. If you cannot find a club in your area, please contact our office. In order to legally acquire firearms and ammunition, you must have a valid Firearms License, known as a Possession/Acquisition License (PAL). Although the government regulations contained in the Firearms Act are quite extensive and confusing, the actual process of obtaining a Firearms License is not that complicated. The Possession/Acquisition License (PAL) is divided into two main classes: nonrestricted firearms and restricted firearms. The non-restricted firearm class is comprised of commonly used rifles and shotguns. They are non-restricted in that there are no special permits required for the transport of these firearms as long as they are transported according to the regulations (listed in this booklet). Restricted firearms are basically handguns and some specialized rifles. To have your Firearms License upgraded to include handguns, you must complete one additional course/exam and supply a legal reason as to why you wish to purchase them (either target shooting or collecting). A summary of the process is listed below: 1) Obtain an application for a Possession/Acquisition License (PAL) available from the Canadian Firearms Centre (1-800-731-4000) or download from their website (www.cfc-cafc.gc.ca) 2) Successfully complete the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (for non-restricted firearms) and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course (for handguns) or you have the option of skipping the course and just challenge* the exams (*if under 18, the course is mandatory). If you are already familiar with the handling of firearms, you can purchase the textbooks ($15 for each) and take the exam. However, if you are new to the sport, we would recommend you complete the course and exam. If the local club does not have any certified instructors, you can contact the Firearms Officer in your area for a list of instructors or contact the provincial Firearms Safety organization (eg. Firearms Safety Education Service of Ontario 519-369-5706, www.fseso.org). 3) Forward the license application with proof of Safety Course/exam completion, passport photo and appropriate fees (if any) to the Canadian Firearms Centre in Miramichi, NB. Currently, License fees are as follows: Non-Restricted only - $60, NonRestricted and Restricted - $80 (note: licenses are valid for 5 years). 4) Police checks will be completed as well as reference and spousal checks. 5) If approved, the license processed and mailed to you. will be

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO START? Outside of the cost of the safety course/exam and license fees, the cost of the equipment and club membership can range greatly. You should shop around to the area clubs to determine what they offer. Club memberships can range from $75 to over $500 per year. The cost of the firearms is another major consideration. An entry level target grade rifle or pistol can range from $300 and up. It is usually best to pick up a used firearm first. If cared for properly and not abused, firearms can last for decades and generally have a high resale value. Ammunition is another ongoing cost. Rimfire ammunition is quite reasonable and a box of 50 can be had for under $3. Centrefire rifle and shotgun ammunition is more expensive but many in the sport reload their own ammunition, which brings the cost down considerably. WHEN CAN I BUY A GUN? Once you have received your PAL, you can purchase a firearm. The class of firearms you are approved for will appear on the back of the license. If you were approved for Restricted Firearms (handguns), you will find the terms Non-Restricted and Restricted printed on your license. Otherwise, it will only show NonRestricted. What kind (make, model, calibre) of gun you should purchase will depend on what type of shooting you wish to do. We recommend you obtain advice from knowledgeable members of a gun club. Many will be more than willing to let you try out their firearms to see which would be the most suitable for you. In the case of acquiring restricted firearms (handguns), you must provide a valid reason to purchase one and the Restricted class must appear on your PAL. Unless used for work related purposes (security guard, police officer, etc.) the only allowable reasons legislated in the Firearms Act are for target shooting or collecting purposes. In order to purchase a handgun for target shooting purposes, you must first belong to an approved handgun club. The club will usually offer an additional training course before you can apply for an Authorization to Transport (ATT) which will be necessary to transport your handguns to a shooting range (there is no additional fee for the ATT). Handguns cannot be moved from your dwelling unless you have an ATT which designates the final destination. For target shooting purposes, the gun club will apply on your behalf and the permit will allow you to transport your handguns to any approved range. The permit is valid for one to three years and must be renewed at the recommendation of the club executive. To transport your handguns to any location other than an approved range, i.e. gunsmith, border point for competition in the US, etc., requires you to obtain another ATT from the provincial Chief Firearms Office. As stated above, we highly recommend you contact your local gun club as they will explain and facilitate the processes mandated by the Firearms Act.
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE FOR THE SHOOTING SPORTS? As noted at the beginning of this guide, recreational shooting is for young and old. The Firearms Act dictates that you must be at least 18 years of age to apply for a Possession Acquisition License (PAL), however, there is provision for a Minors License for ages 16 to 18 which will allow for the possession of a non-restricted firearm under certain conditions listed on the license (such as competition shooting and hunting). As well, many clubs have Junior Programs that will allow younger enthusiasts to participate in the sport at ages as low as 9 or 10 years of age. The Firearms Act allows for unlicensed individuals to shoot under the immediate supervision of a person holding a PAL. This allows for supervised shooting for juniors. Also, juniors can start shooting airgun competitions. Air Rifle and Air Pistol competitions are Olympic Sports and are also included in the provincial Winter/Summer Games and Canada Winter Games. Most airguns are not considered firearms and therefore do not require a Firearms License.
WHAT ABOUT REGISTRATION? As of this printing, all firearms must be registered with the Canadian Firearms Centre (government policy on this issue may be amended). This also includes any air guns that have a muzzle velocity over 500 feet per second. Registration can be accomplished on-line with no fee. Whether you purchase a firearm from a dealer, private individual or if you inherit a firearm, you must ensure that it is registered in your name. Also, you must have a valid Firearms License (PAL) and be qualified for the class of firearm you wish to register (rifle/shotgun or handgun). The registration and transfer process is fairly simple. You and the seller must call the Canadian Firearms Centre (1-800-731-4000) to transfer the registration. They will check the information and advise you when the transfer has been approved. If the gun has not yet been verified, then the CFC can direct you to a local Verifier who will inspect the firearm to ensure the information on the registration form is accurate (this policy may be changed as well). CAN I KEEP MY GUNS AT HOME? Yes. The regulations that are part of the Firearms Act are specific as to how firearms are to be stored, transported and displayed at your dwelling. For the actual wording of the regulations, you should refer to the website for the Canadian Firearms Centre (www.cfccafc.gc.ca). See Page 45 for a summary of the Storage regulations.
If you experience any problems through the licensing or registration process, please feel free to contact our office for assistance.
THE SHOOTING SPORTS

There are a large number of shooting disciplines for rifle, handgun and shotgun; so many in fact, that it can be quite confusing to a new participant. In this chapter, we will attempt to explain the various types of competitions and equipment.
Handgun
There are 2 main sections for handgun competition shooting; Bullseye Pistol and Action oriented shooting. We highly recommend a new shooter start off with the Bullseye pistol in order to learn the basics of shooting and to gain confidence in handling the firearm before moving to the action oriented disciplines.
Bullseye Pistol: is divided into two main, but similar categories:

National Rifle Association (NRA) type targets and International competitions. Targets are typical bullseye targets with numbered scoring rings. 10 shots are fired on each target for a possible score of 100. 1 - International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) Competitions these are the events you find at World Championships, the Olympics, Pan American Games, Commonwealth Games, etc. The rules are set by the ISSF and are the same no matter what country they are shot in.
Air Pistol : This match is shot at 10 metres in a standing position.

Competition air pistols are very accurate and the .177 pellet is discharged using one of 3 methods: CO2, compressed air or spring compression. Course of fire is 60 shots in 1 hour and 45 minutes (men) or 40 shots in 1 hour and 15 minutes (women).
Standard Pistol: Shot using a standard .22 cal. pistol, either

revolver or semi-automatic. The match consists of 60 scoring shots for a total out of 600 points. Targets are available for 50 ft, 20 yd., 25 yd., and 25 metre ranges. - sighters 5 rounds in 2 minutes - Slow Fire 4 strings of 5 rounds each in 2 minutes - Timed Fire 4 strings of 5 rounds each in 20 sec. - Rapid Fire 4 strings of 5 rounds each in 10 sec.
Free Pistol: Shot using a specialized .22 cal. single shot pistol at
50 metres. Course of fire is 60 shots in 2 hours.
10
Centre Fire: Shot using any centre fire pistol, although the .32 S&W Long is the most popular
for this competition. - sighters 5 rounds in 5 minutes - Precision stage 6 strings of 5 rounds (3 targets) each in 5 minutes - Rapid stage 6 strings of 5 rounds, one shot fired for each facing targets face for 3 seconds where 1 shot is fired then turn away for 7 seconds and repeats Sport Pistol: Previously known as the Ladies Match, this competition is identical to Centre Fire except it is shot using a .22 cal. pistol. 2 - National Rifle Association (NRA) Competitions: The NRA, in addition to shooting the ISSF courses of fire, also have their own similar bullseye competition. It is based on a 90 shot match and is known as the NRA 2700. The 90 round course is shot 3 times (total of 270 shots) with each 90 shot section using a different caliber of handgun: .22 rimfire; any centre fire caliber; and finally, .45 Colt (military). The course of fire is identical for each calibre: Slow Fire: 10 shots in 10 minutes 3 targets Timed Fire: 2 five-shot strings each in 20 seconds 3 targets Rapid Fire: 2 five-shot strings each in 10 seconds 3 targets
Action Pistol there is a considerable variety of action type pistol

competitions ranging from a former police training course of fire (Police Pistol Combat or PPC) to steel plates, to more scenario-type shooting such as Canadian Defensive Pistol (CDP) or International Practical Shooting Confederacy . Another type of shooting which is growing tremendously in popularity over the last few years is Cowboy Action Shooting sponsored by the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS). Competitors dress in period costume and use either original period firearms or modern reproductions. To shoot in most of these types of competitions, a person will be required to successfully complete a training course to ensure safe handling and knowledge of the rules and courses of fire.
Police Pistol Combat (PPC): Many years ago, PPC was a

training course of fire for police officers and it developed into a very popular competition. The main course of fire for PPC consists of back-to-back 60 shot matches for a total out of 1200. Firearms used are generally .38 revolvers or current police service calibres of semi-autos. Each 600
11
course of fire is as follows: - Stage 1 12 shots in 20 seconds, standing unsupported, using a B27 target at 7 yards - Stage 2 18 shots in 90 seconds 6 shots kneeling, 6 shots left hand at left barricade, 6 shots right hand at right barricade using B27 target at 25 yds - Stage 3 6 shots in 12 seconds, standing unsupported, using a B27 target at 25 yds. - Stage 4 24 shots in 2 min. & 45 seconds 6 shots sitting, 6 shots prone, 6 shots left hand at left barricade, 6 shots right hand at right barricade, using a B27 target at 50 yds or a B34 target at 25 yds
International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) www.ipsc.org: This exciting style of Extreme Sport Shooting has quickly spread over the years to other continents including Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and Africa.
In Extreme Sport Shooting, the competitor must try to blend accuracy, power, and speed into a winning combination. Targets are 57 centimeters by 45 centimeters with a 31 centimeter center representing the "A zone" or bullseye. Most shooting takes place at close range, with rare shots out to 30 or 40 meters. Hitting the A zone at 40 meters or less might seem easy to an experienced pistol shooter, but in IPSC, only full power pistols are allowed (9mm or larger). This power minimum reflects the heritage of this modern sport, and mastering a full power handgun is considerably more difficult than shooting a light recoiling target pistol, especially when the competitor is trying to move as fast as possible. Time also plays a factor. Multiple targets, moving targets, targets that react when hit, penalty carrying targets mixed-in, or even partially covering shoot targets, obstacles, movement, competitive tactics, and, in general, any other relevant difficulty the course designer can dream up all combine to keep the competitors enthusiastic and the spectators entertained. While the rules of IPSC state that the course of fire should be practical, diversity is encouraged to keep the sport from becoming too formalized or standardized. In fact, some matches even contain surprise stages where no one knows in advance what to expect. Although the roots are martial in origin, the sport matured from these beginnings, just as karate, fencing, or archery developed from their origins. Now, IPSC, or Extreme Sport Shooting is an international sport, emphasizing safety and safe gun handling, accuracy, power, and speed, in major competitions around the globe.
12
In order to compete in IPSC matches, a competitor must successfully complete a training course known as the Black Badge course. This course is offered throughout the country. For information check their national and provincial websites: www.ipsc.org.
Canadian Defensive Pistol:
So what exactly is Canadian Defensive Pistol? It is a Canadianized version of the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA) shooting sport where the participants carry holstered pistols and on safety officer command, draw their pistols and engage multiple targets. Time is electronically recorded and accuracy/score computed. The most accurate shooter with the best time wins. Most matches have multiple stages providing various levels of challenge for the shooters. The emphasis with CDP is basics as you can compete with your standard Glock, 1911 style pistol or even a revolver. You also compete in your own division, i.e. revolvers against revolvers, or 1911 against 1911. In all there are 4 divisions. Holsters are even easier; a basic holster that covers the trigger guard and retains the pistol is all you need. Any clamshell style will do, no cross draws. Another important feature of this shooting sport is that you dont have to be an athlete to compete and not even necessarily a good shot. Each shooter can be classified at their current level and move up through the classifications as their skill improves. Obviously many of the laws and regulations in Canada differ from those in the U.S. However, within the confines of our rules we have developed a similar shooting sport, Canadian Defensive Pistol under the auspices of Canadian Shooting Sports Association. This means we have a way to publish matches and results, keep a database of member qualifications and provide approved training for new shooters. For more information on this activity, check upcoming issues of the magazine or contact the office. See www.canadiandefensivepistol.org as well.
Cowboy Action Shooting: Cowboy Action Shooting has become the fastest growing shooting sport in the last two decades. You ask what is it? That question can easily be answered with words such as friendship, fun, family and good times, to mention just a few. It is a shooting sport that takes us back to the days of less complication and stress in our lives. In this activity you leave the world as you experience it everyday and enter the time era of approximately the 1860s to1890s.
13
This is the shooting sport where you take on an alias cowboy name. Then you decide what type of character you are going to be. Now you know what you want to wear and who you will be out there. We have everything from people that are just cowpoke wranglers to saloon girls, bandits and schoolmarms. One does not have to pick anything from history. We have characters ranging from historical people to movie cowboys, and then of course there are the all-original cowboys who are just themselves. Ask yourself deep inside, when you played cowboys, who did you always want to play? And go for it. Outfits do not have to be elaborate. Most of us start out slowly and we find, as time goes on, we seem to modify what we thought we wanted into something that just says it is us. The equipment that one uses is a revolver (usually two but not always), shotgun and rifle, with an occasional knife required. The firearms are required to be of certain calibres, types and models. There is also other equipment that one can use such as a belly gun, derringer and buffalo gun. As with your firearms, your ammunition has certain specifications. Our sport is one of stages, which are shot, each of which has a story line attached to it. You will find all kinds of interesting props at these stages that both enhance and may be part of the story line. Scoring is very simple. It is by time and number of misses. But who is counting score anyway, because we all know that we come out simply to have a great days activity and fun with our friends. This particular sport of Cowboy Action Shooting has a very unique concept that rules our competitions. This is what we call The Spirit of the Game. We come to participate fully, participating in all parts of the days events. We do not look to become gamey, and try to figure some way to get an upper advantage over the other cowpokes. Otherwise, you follow the stages as stated and not as you wish to interpret them. All said, good sportsmanship is the true definition of The Spirit of the Game. In the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting there are several classifications under which you may participate. The classification would be determined by the type of revolver and powder you have chosen to use. For example, a basic way to know which class is as follows. If your revolver has adjustable sights, you are in the Modern class. Should your revolver have fixed sights, you would participate in the Traditional class. Then, of course, should you be using black powder in your cartridges, you may choose to participate in the Frontier Black Powder class. The choices you may have will depend upon which range you attend. It is best to query this with the club contact person. Your ammunition, equipment and apparel are subject to a few rules. These are mainly for safety, and simply, these are the outlined rules that were established by the society which started this game some many years ago. The Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) established this sport,
14
and if you are looking for exact and unwavering rules, feel free to link to their web site, www.sassnet.com. A purely Canadian version is the Canadian Cowboy Confederacy (http://www.wssclub.com/ccc.htm).
Metallic Silhouette: Handgun Metallic Silhouette is one of the most visually appealing
shooting sports as there is instant gratification when a target is hit and it flips, twists and falls off the rail. If you own a handgun of any sort you are probably already equipped to shoot at least one of the categories in the course of fire. There are basically three courses of fire that can be shot; the Big Bore course extends out to 200 metres with ten life size chickens, pigs (javelinas), turkeys and rams at 50, 100, 150, and 200 metres respectively. The Big Bore course is shot with higher power handguns such as .357 magnums, .44 magnums, 30-30 and 7mm single shots and many of the more exotic calibers in single-shot pistols. The .22 rimfire course is the same as the Big Bore but with much smaller targets (3/8 scale) and at ranges of 25, 50, 75 and 100 metres. There are now six categories in Big Bore and .22 rimfire: - Production Shot freestyle with any over-the-counter handgun - Standing shot standing only, with a production gun, - Unlimited shot with customized guns in any position, - Unlimited, Any sights shot freestyle with unlimited guns with scopes, - Unlimited Standing shot standing with scopes. The third course of fire is the Field Pistol course, which is fired on half size targets at the same distance as .22s. Field Pistol is shot standing only and there are two categories, open sights and scoped. Any .357 magnum is good for the Field Pistol course, although many shooters use .44 magnums and the caliber choice of many is the .22 Hornet, which is very accurate and has little recoil. In all three courses there are several classes in each category, so everybody is competitive from the first time they shoot until they become an expert. With the three courses of fire available, Handgun Metallic Silhouette can truly be a sport for the whole family. Also, each shooter is allowed a spotter who can coach and call each shot placement for the shooter, making it easy to involve spouses, sons and daughters. Scoring is easy, if the target falls it counts as a hit, if it does not fall it is a miss. In regular matches, a course of fire consists of five sighting shots and then ten shots at each of the chickens, pigs, turkeys and rams, making a total of forty scoring shots. Championship matches usually consist of either sixty or eighty scoring shots. Handgun Metallic Silhouette is sanctioned by both the NRA and IHMSA (International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association, www.ihmsa.org).

Smallbore Rifle
Smallbore rifle shooting has always been in the modern Olympics and also is part of the Commonwealth Games, Pan American Games, as well as World Cups and World Championships. Canada has a proud history of developing world-class shooters who represent the country around the world. Smallbore is defined as .22 calibre rimfire cartridges or .177 calibre pellets. The official distance for .22 competitions is 50 metres although targets are available for 20 yd, 25 yd., 25 metre and 50 rd. ranges. The .177 calibre pellet matches are shot at 10 metres.
Free Rifle 3-Position (an Olympic event) - Shot in 3 positions (prone, standing, kneeling),
this 120-shot match is fired with an elaborate .22 calibre rifle and many accessories. A heavy rifle (up to 8 kg) with a light trigger is most common. The course of fire consists of two 20-shot targets in each position with a time limit of 30 minutes to 40 minutes for each 20-shot target.
Free Rifle Prone (an Olympic event): This 60round event is shot in the prone position only. Almost any .22 rifle is permitted; most shooters use a specially designed match rifle that can weigh up to 8 kg, with a very light trigger, and a variety of shooting accessories. Again, the targets are divided into 20-shot groups with a 30 minute time limit for each.
Sport Rifle (an Olympic event): The Sport Rifle is the female equivalent to the Free Rifle
match. The only difference is the weight of the rifle (max. 6.5 kg).
Air Rifle (an Olympic event): This increasingly

popular event allows any .177 (4.5 mm) air/gas rifle under 5.5 kg. The target is shot at 10 metres, and the "10" is a pinpoint. All firing is done from the standing position and the match consists of 60 shots in 1 hour and 45 minutes (for men) or 40 shots in 1 hour and 15 minutes (for women). Most people are surprised to find that good quality air rifles are the most accurate of firearms.
Sporting Rifle 3-Position: Sporting Rifle

shooters use ordinary .22 calibre rifles, with little additional equipment. Most North American makes easily qualify, as do several European ones. Bullseye targets are shot at 20 yards indoors and 50 metres outdoors. There are prone and 3-position (prone, standing, kneeling) matches. The normal course of fire is 60 rounds per match, again using 30 minute time limits for each 20-shot target. The weight of the rifle is limited to 4 kg with a minimum trigger weight of 1 kg.
16
Silhouette: A basic principle of Metallic Silhouette is

the use of unmodified (factory) rifles, both in the "hunter" and the "match" classes. The targets are cut out of metal in the shape of animals and are designed to fall over when a "hit" is scored. The four different targets are each set up in banks of five, at distances ranging from 40 to 100 metres. All shooting is done from the standing position. When shot indoors, paper targets are used.
Hunter Rifle: similar to Sporting Rifle but has fewer equipment restrictions, allowing
repeaters and optical sights. Also, specialised accessories such as shooting jackets and gloves are not allowed.
Running Target (an Olympic event): involves a bulls-eye target moving at various speeds and is shot from the standing position. The 50-metre outdoor match is shot with a .22 calibre rifle and the 10-metre indoor match is shot with a .177 calibre air rifle. Airgun Field Target (cafta@cogeco.ca): Air gun Field Target is a sport that was first
developed in England as a way to keep your hunting skills sharp during the non-hunting periods of the year. It has grown and there is active participation in more than 16 nations throughout the world, and it continues to grow every year. The basic principal is to hit a paddle that is behind a target (shaped like typical air gun quarry), through a hole in the faceplate, and that paddle pulls over the target. The hole can be any size, from 3/8 to 1 5/8 in diameter, and the distance can be anywhere from 10 yards to 55 yards. They can be set below grade (like in a dried up creek bed), up in a tree, partially covered by a fallen log, or set inside a cage, as a few examples of how targets can be placed to make things more interesting than simply placed on the ground. The air guns can be as simple as a beginners break barrelled rifle, to a purpose built FT rifle with a very high magnification scope. These air guns are divided up into three main divisions, which are Piston (any piston powered air gun), PCP (any Co2, single stroke pneumatic, multi-stroke pneumatic, and high pressure air gun), and Hunter (any air gun but limited equipment and scope magnification). There are limitations placed on subdivisions within the Piston and PCP divisions and limiting hold improvements is the primary difference. A match usually consists of 60 shots with two shots being taken at each
17
target in a shooting lane and up to three targets per lane. Scoring for PCP and Piston is one point for each target knocked down, Hunter is scored two points per target knocked down and one point for each target hit, but not knocked down.
Centre Fire Rifle

Centre Fire Rifle shooting uses larger and more powerful calibers as opposed to Smallbore Rifle. It is usually fired at long distances using military ranges, although some clubs with heavy duty backstops will allow indoor shooting. The Dominion of Canada Rifle Association (DCRA) is the national sport governing body for fullbore (center fire) rifle sports and they have shooting programs to suit many types of rifles: Black Powder Cartridge Rifles (BPCR) original or reproduction rifles shooting prone at various ranges (300, 400, 800, 900, and 1,000 yards) Scoped Centrefire Rifles (F-Class) any rifle, any calibre is allowed rifle is supported on a rest or bipod shooting prone position at Typical Precision Rifle 300, 500, 600, 800, 900 and 1,000 yards. Military Rifles good match for beginners any type of rifle allowed shooting prone at a range of 300 yards Precision (Tactical) Rifles any calibre rifle (ideal for varmint hunting rifles or F-Class rifles) shooting prone at 300, 400, 500, 600 and 800 yards. Service Conditions Shooting using current or former military rifle, primarily box fed magazine semi-auto rifles (AR15, etc), however, separate competition classes are set for bolt action rifles all 4 shooting positions (standing, kneeling, sitting, prone) are used shooting at ranges of 200, 300 and 500 yards. Sporting & Vintage Events any centre fire calibre and any rifle shooting 4 positions (standing, kneeling, sitting, prone) at Swiss Rifle K-31 ranges of 100, 200 and 300 yards Swiss Rifle Days using Swiss service rifles (from 1896 to current) shooting prone position at 300 yards. Full Bore Target Rifle bolt action rifles of 308 Winchester or 223 Remington calibers only shooting prone at 300, 500, 600, 800, 900 and 1,000 yards.
18
Shooting distances can vary, depending on the competition, from 100 to 1,000 yards using a variety of calibres and manufacture of rifles. For more information on the DCRA and the rifle shooting disciplines, check out their website at: www.dcra.ca or www.ontariorifleassociation.org.
Shotgun Disciplines
American Trap
Trapshooting is a specific form of clay target shooting. Trapshooting is a game of movement, action and split-second timing. It requires the accuracy and skill to repeatedly aim, fire and break a 4 1/4 inch disc which are hurled through the air at a speed of 41 mph, simulating the flight path of a bird fleeing a hunter. Trapshooting's continual growth and expanding popularity is due to the fact that people of all ages, incomes and abilities can compete. Nine year old boys and girls shoot alongside 90 year old men. Many 70-year olds have been in the sport 55 years and some began just two years ago. Trapshooting's participants include millionaires and hourly wage earners, inventors and businessmen, former sports figures in other fields, professional men, farmers, truck drivers, musicians, actors, students and housewives. The shooter is required to shoot at a target after he calls "pull." It does not matter in scoring if the shooter hits only a small piece of the target or whether he shatters the target. The target is considered a "dead" or "lost" bird. If the target is hit it is "dead." It is the shooters responsibility to check their own score. A squad of five shooters shoot in rotation from five positions arrayed in an arc located 16 yards behind the traphouse, with five targets thrown at each station before the shooters change. A round is 25 targets with one shot allowed at each target. An English variation is called DownThe-Line, a two-barrel discipline that allows two shots at a single target with a scoring penalty for a second-barrel hit. For more information and provincial contacts, check out the ATA website at: www.shootata.com.
Skeet
Skeet shooting is very similar to Trap and was originally designed as practice for hunters. A round of skeet consists of 25 targets in a set sequence of singles and simultaneous doubles. Squads of up to five shooters take their turns from eight shooting stations. Each squad member takes two singles and one double from stations 1, 2, 6 & 7. Two singles are taken from stations 3, 4, 5 & 8. The 25th target is taken after the first target is missed, or as a final target (low house #8) after 24 hits. Targets are thrown a distance of 60 yards. Variations in the angles
19
of the targets presented form the high and low house result from the shooter moving from station to station. American Skeet is the only discipline that has regular, specific tournament events for sub-bore shotguns: 20 gauge, 28 gauge, and .410. For more information on Skeet shooting and club locations, contact the following websites: www.mynssa.com or www.ontarioskeet.com.
English or American Sporting Clays

Sporting Clays, like Trap and Skeet, uses traps and clay targets to duplicate, as far as possible, conditions and presentations you would normally find while hunting. A typical sporting course is laid out over a 10, 20, or 30 acre site, ideally in rough, hilly terrain. Usually, the path the shooters follow will take a circular or horseshoe shape enabling shooters to start and finish in roughly the same place. Along the path targets are thrown from 10 to 14 shooting stations. Courses can be laid out with either automatic or manual traps, usually set out of sight. Six different types of targets can be used: standard, midi, mini, battue, rocket or rabbit. Target sequence may incorporate singles, report pairs, following pairs and true (simultaneous) pairs. A round usually consists of 50 or 100 targets. The shooters gun must be visible below the armpit and may not be mounted until the target is visible. This discipline has taken over from skeet as the hunters preference for practice. There are numerous other variations of the clay target sports, some of which meet Olympic standards and some are played just for fun. Other newer games such as Five Stand and Make-abreak were designed to bring the new shooter and the non-shooting public to a shooting event. They are colourful, fast, fun to shoot and interesting to watch.
Black Powder Disciplines

If you enjoy the outdoors, are more at home in the woods than at the mall, if you have a sense of the past, then Black Powder shooting is for you. Canadian Shooting Sports tries to bring together many aspects of Black Powder shooting, most are centered on shooting a firearm that was invented in the late 1600s and used well past the 1860s. We are a community of living historians who study and teach. We re-enact not just the battles, but the day-to-day living of our ancestors. The pageantry of the French and Indian Wars; the passion and pomp of the American Revolution; the riotous camps of the western Mountain Men; Trappers, and World Class Target shooters. We do this all for our own enjoyment naturally, but for a higher purpose as well, to pass on to the very young the vast but all too often lost knowledge of the past.
20
Black Powder competition uses a number of different types of original and accurate reproduction black powder firearms such as flintlock muskets, wheel locks, match locks and percussion caps. Following are some of the event which also cover Junior, Womens and Mens. Percussion and Flintlock Rifle Events: - Long Range World muzzleloading @ 300 to 1000yds - Off Hand, open and peep sights @ 25, 50, 100yds - Bench Rest, open and peep sights @ 25, 50, 100yds - Prone, @ 25, 50, 100yds - X-sticks, open and peep sights @ 25, 50, 100yds - Log Rest, open and peep sights @ 25, 50, 100yds - Primitive, open sights @ 25, 50, 100yds Flintlock Musket events - Off Hand, no rear sight @ 25, 50, 100yds Matchlock Events - Off Hand, @ 25, 50yds - Kneeling, @ 25, 50yds Handgun - Flintlock smooth bore @ 25yds - Percussion rifled @ 25yds - Matchlock smooth bore @ 25yds - Percussion revolver @ 25yds

Exceptions: In areas where it is legal to fire a gun, a non-restricted firearm needed to control animal predators can temporarily be kept handy and unlocked: - The firearm must be unloaded - Ammunition must be kept separate In a remote wilderness area, non-restricted firearms can be kept handy and unlocked. They must be unloaded, but the ammunition can be kept handy.
