Super Rookie at that...I officially fired my first handgun at about 1145h today :D

A member from here took me, and told me about the site, don't know his name on here though. I do know a couple other members. I must say, for the 4 handguns I've fired, I really really liked the HKS USP. By far the most comfortable and far and away my most accurate.

Today involved (my apologies if I get some wrong, read the title!)
Smith and Wesson 460V
Glock (not sure which model)
Beretta 90two
Beretta Cx4
12 ga. pump action
HKS USP

Anyways, just thought I'd sign up and read the FAQs and such, been wanting to get my PAL for a while (and PAL-R). I have to hit the range some more, I had a blast (really, no pun intended). I fired .22s and a couple shotguns when I was younger, but under Grandpa's watchful eye in fields in Saskatchewan. I'm 23 now, engaged, and a lot more mature, so I figured it was time to do some learning...it's not like I didn't have enough expensive hobbies...

As an FYI, I couldn't get any of the links in the "START HERE - Newbie Frequently Asked Questions" to work. I did find a place here in Calgary (ITTA) that does the PAL course.

Looking forward to getting some information!
Cheers:rockOn:

Hi and Welcome Endo !

I am a rookie in Calgary also ! ( just got my rPAL beginning of August )

I would recommend AHEIA for your safety courses ( www. aheia.com and click on Calgary) or study the manuals and challenge the exams ( that is what I did, and I had NO handgun esp ;) so you are way ahead of me ) The safety manuals are posted in the legalese section about the 10th sticky down from the top. AHEIA also runs challenge exams too, I wrote both and did the practicals in about 2 hours.

As for being engaged congrats !
 
To go back to an old thread...I know, I don't post much.

I went to ITTA in Calgary today and obtained my non-restricted and restricted. Just have to send in paperwork now, but all the testing stuff is done :D
