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.

Well, its official now. Derya Mk12 Prohibited! The CUSF is still opposed to the prohibition of all sporting arms, including the Mk12. This shotgun, in 12g, is a fun and effective mag-style firearm.

#DYK Canada entered World War One not with the famous Lee Enfield rifle, but with the lesser known Ross rifle?

The Ross was a .303 caliber straight pull bolt rifle designed and built in Canada, though very accurate for its time it was quickly phased out due to its poor reliability in dirty environments (such as the trenches of WW1)

Black guns, or modern sporting rifles, get a bad r

Black guns, or modern sporting rifles, get a bad rap due to their similar appearance to some military rifles. However many are purpose made for civilian use and function the same as any gun made of wood. The advantage of these newer guns is numerous: the synthetic materials last forever, the newer designs makes them safer and less prone to misfires and often parts are cheaper and easier to find.

This type of firearm has been safely used for shooting sports, such as 3 gun, for the last 50 years. This type of gun fills a valuable niche in our firearms industry, as many small Canadian manufacturers produce rifles in this style!

CORRECTION Our previous post today regarding the

CORRECTION

Our previous post today regarding the Derya MK12 contained incorrect information. As of today the MK12 is still classified as a non restricted firearm and not as prohibited as represented in the previous post. The post was intended to be about the Typhoon F12, a different model of 12 gauge shotgun similar in function to the MK12 but not the same firearm. The Typhoon F12 is rumored to have been reclassified as a prohibited firearm as a result of a change to the RCMP Firearm Reference Table describing it as a variant of the AR-15.
The CUSF would like to apologize for the misinformation spread during this confusing time.

The CUSF is still opposed to the prohibition of all sporting arms, including the Typhoon F12. This shotgun is widely used in action shooting sports such as 3 gun due to its relatively low price, availability, and functionality.
