COURSE INFORMATION
Courses Offered: On the stated weekends that we run courses, unless otherwise explicitly stated, we offer one or more of the following courses and course combinations on those weekends:
1) CFSC Only – required for your non-restricted PAL
2) CRFSC only – required if you want to own restricted firearms (CFSC or a PAL is a prerequisite)
3) OHEC (Ontario Hunter Education Course) only – required if you want to hunt in Ontario
4) CFSC + Ontario Hunter Ed. – the “One Stop” program – our most common course combination for new hunters
5) CFSC + CRFSC – to get a full Firearms License (PAL+R-PAL)
Ages: You must be at least 12 years old to take the “One Stop” course or the CFSC. For those under 18, a Parent MUST sign a Parental Consent Form on the first night of the course. You have to be 18 to take the CRFSC. We have all ages in our courses – grandparents to grandchildren and everyone in between.
FEES
CFSC (Canadian Firearms Safety Course – for non-restricted PAL) = $190
CRFSC (Canadian RESTRICTED Firearms Safety Course) = $190 ($150 if done within 30 days of your CFSC with us)
OHEC (Hunter Education Program) In-person course and exam = $100
CFSC + OHEC = the “One Stop” Course = $290
CFSC + CRFSC (within 30 days of CFSC) = full R-PAL = $340
A minimum $60 deposit per person, per course is required to secure your spot. The balance is due on or before your course starts.
To complete all 3 courses, we suggest doing CFSC first, then either the CRFSC or OHEC after that, in any order. This is not a requirement. You can, in fact, do the courses in any order you please (or as they are available).
Prices quoted above exclude text books. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain and pre-read the text books prior to the course date. Books are available at several sporting goods stores in the area and online (see FAQs for sources).
