What do you know about the classification of Canadian firearms?

There are two main parts: legislative (the Firearms Act, Criminal Code, and Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and Other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited, Restricted or Non-Restricted) and the Firearms Reference Table. The legislation is passed by the goverment which carrys the weight of law, while the reference table is solely an administrative document created by the RCMP.

CLUB SPOTLIGHT: BCITSA Firearms Club In January 2

CLUB SPOTLIGHT: BCITSA Firearms Club

In January 2019, a few British Columbia Institute of Technology students and alumni started getting together to go shoot at a nearby range. Posters advertising this and inviting other interested students were put up around campus, and more interested students joined the beginnings of the BCITSA Firearms Club, largely organized on Discord. Small groups going to shoot together has been the foundation of our club, introducing several new shooters to the experience, principally just plinking, but occasionally more organized activities like target shooting or Trap.

In December, our club applied for and was officially recognized as a BCIT Student Association club at BCIT, holding our first Clubs Day event on campus in January 2020, and gaining almost 30 new members. Not long afterwards, the student council suspended our club’s ability to promote group club events off campus pending BCIT’s insurer’s satisfaction of appropriate insurance being secured. Proof of insurance coverage was provided both from individuals with PALs and from several local ranges, unfortunately COVID19 complicated getting the club’s approval for such events reinstated, as well as put a damper on regular range visits.

Despite that, several local ranges have offered to host club events with larger groups and RSOs on hand, and a variety of local businesses have offered the club discounts on CFSC, CRFSC and CORE courses. In June 2020 the club transitioned to a new club president, while the old one remains on the club executive.

We believe the best way to bring people into the shooting sports is to bring them to a range and introduce them to safe practices, and educate and share information as much as we can. For now, given the pandemic, we don’t encourage any unnecessary meet ups with large groups of club members.

- Qinzhou Bai, BCITSA Club President

CLUB SPOTLIGHT: University of Windsor Firearms Ass

CLUB SPOTLIGHT: University of Windsor Firearms Association (@u_w_f_a)

Our club has had a strong first year. The executive team has grown to 5 members and our overall membership is 80+ people, not a bad start. The club has nearly acquired all the gear needed to fill our marksman and trap/skeet needs. We have had amazing success in partnering with local groups including the Windsor Sportsman Club for all our shotgun needs. We want to give a huge shout out to all the General Gun and their staff for the amazing support they gave us this year.

We have begun to reach out for partnerships and sponsorships to improve our events and expand our abilities. The support we have received so far has been amazing and a great help. We have also begun our very first fundraising pushes this summer and we will try to have everything set up for summer Trap/Skeet when safe to do so. We have also been joined by a fellow canuck from across our stream who has been a great help in providing us with advice, support, and coaching. He has been an amazing help and we couldn’t be more grateful.

As our first year ends, all of us are looking forward to our new partnerships being built, new relations forming in the community, and to the upcoming trap and skeet season. We hope to hit the range soon once safe to do so and our fundraising events will follow. We want to thank everyone at the CUSF, UWindsor, and the Canadian firearms community for all the help we have been given in our first year!

Did you know that more Canadian adults have a fire

Did you know that more Canadian adults have a firearm licence than play golf, hockey soccer or baseball? In 2010, 1.5 million adults participated in golf (the most-popular sport), and 1.85 million had gun licences.

As an amateur sporting body, the Canadian University Shooting Federation strives to make shooting fun, safe and accessible for students from all backgrounds. From recreational range days at the club level, to competitive tournaments held on a national scale, there is something for everybody.
