hey new to the whole shooting thing was wondering if there is any instructors in the regina area, I was also looking for available safety courses in order to obtain a pal and non-restricted to own a handgun.
any advice will be greatly appreciated

[Drewz]

Instructors are few in Sk but PM me and I will see what I can dig up for you. My club is trying to get a couple guys setup for instruction.

i'm interested in obtaining a pal licence as well in the regina area, how do you go about doing this?

[Drewz]

You will have to get ahold of SAFE and see who the authorized trainers are and then contact them. If you are looking to get out to a range and learn a few safety things as far as do's and do not's you can come any weekend I go out. Have you shot any types of firearms before??

[drindle]

i've shot a few .22 rifles and a 20 gauge remington shotgun

[Drewz]

I have seen people advertise the training on usedregina as well but be warned there is one trainer that has taken money and not done the course. Be careful.

[drindle]

so if there not official place you go in regina to take a course or get certified? you just take the course from someone who already has their PAL and they can pass you for yours?

[Drewz]

Nope, they have to be a certified instructor only.

[drindle]

thanks for the info

Any time. I am a board member of a local club here and make it my personal "thing" to help new people get into this wonderful sport/past time. I warn you it is addictive though.
