Hey all!
Extremely new to the scene. I'm looking for some guidance into getting my RPAL in Saskatoon. I got my normal PAL (back when it was called an FAC..) many years ago when I was 11ish, but now I'm looking into getting into the target shooting scene.
Any help or guidance would be welcomed as to where I can start on the long process to reaching this goal!
Cheers!

Hi Kuolema,
for myself, I just challenged the RPAL course.
Read/memorize the manual (especially the A.C.T.S./P.R.O.V.E.)
Book a date for your test at the SWF- write the test
- do the practical part of the test
Here's the non-restricted and restricted manuals that you can download:
h ttp://www.fseso.org/index_files/Page322.htm
The test if straight forward and common sense. The practical part should have you going through the ACTS of a handgun. For my practical I didn't have to actually shoot the handguns, just show that you can operate it safely (I had never touched a handgun prior to this). I had to do it with a revolver and a pistol.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have anymore questions.

Hi there,
I'm new to this and just got my RPAL in the mail last week, yay! I guess I have to decide which gun I'm buying now. If anyone in the Saskatoon area would be willing to help out a new guy, I'd really appreciate that. I've never handled a pistol before, and am almost decided on a M1911, but I'd really like to shoot one before buying.
If you're interested in showing me around some, please PM me to arrange something. Thanks ahead of time!

Hey. I live in Saskatoon, but am going to school in Moose Jaw.
Anybody know where and when I could take my Hunter safety/PAL course around Moose Jaw/Regina?
Really anxious to get a gun and start practicing for next season.
If not, I have to wait until April to take it in Saskatoon....

Today and tomorrow (October 23 & 24) there is a gun show at White City, just outside of Regina.
From a list I remember seeing Swift Current is having a gun show in December, and Regina has one around January.
If you google "Gun Show" and "Saskatchewan" you should be able to find some more dates.
No the online couse will only get you the Sask hunter ed cert. You will still have to find some one and challange the nonrestricted. But after the online portion S.A.F.E. will get you in contact with a hunter ed instructor for testing and that same person should be able administer the challange.
