Firearms Courses
The CFSC includes 8 hours of instruction and handling plus tests. Our courses begin Saturday mornings, doors open at 7:45 am for registration. The course will commence at 8:00 am sharp! The Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) was developed in partnership with the provinces and territories, national organizations with an ongoing interest in firearms safety, and many firearms and hunter education course instructors from across Canada.
The CFSC consists of both classroom instruction in correlation with the Student Handbook, as well as practical instruction with hands on use of non-restricted firearms. This course is also the pre-requisite for persons interested in obtaining the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course.
Topics covered in the CFSC include:
the evolution of firearms, major parts, types and actions;
basic firearms safety practices;
ammunition;
operating firearm actions;
safe handling and carry procedures;
