    Olympic Shooting

    I believe you guys are the expert in this area. How does one become actively training in Olympic shooting? Is that shooting Federation of Canada?

    Is it possible to train in Olympic with a Glock and .22 conversion kit?

    Can a local gun club set up Olympic training day so participants can sign up as training for Olympic?

    Olympic shooting is with air guns and .22 LR, pistol & rifle. Guns specially made for the game, Walter, Anschutz, Pardini ect.
    Shooting Federation of Canada yes.
    No they will not allow any gun that is not made for this type of competition.

    I was at one time a Level 1 instructor, UIT shooting, one hand. A Level 1 job is to start, initiate new shooter to the sport. That start with the proper equipment, rule of the game and a lot more in this line.

    So I take it, if you cannot buy or import a gun you do not already have you can never "train" for Olympic shooting and never get into the Olympics? I guess the government managed to kill off that for the future as well (under the guise of preserving it).

    You are right. How can you enter a sport if you cannot even get a gun to learn with ?
    To become an Olympic shooter, you need a lots of training. You can have 500 people training and only one or two will make the cut to that level.
    Crazy Gov who just want to get rid of anything gun.
