    Important Notes regarding the Match

    • Timers will be used on all lanes The timer format will consist of 60 seconds of ‘preparation time’ once you address the first target (when your bum hits the bag, or you shoulder your rifle for standing shots or kneel down for kneeling shots, plus 60 seconds for each target. Thus a 3 target lane allows for 7 minutes.
    • A maximum 20 ft/lb limit with the pellet you are using will be enforced in Open and Hunter Divisions
    • A maximum 12 ft/lb limit with the pellet you are using will be enforced in WFTF Divisions
    • Information on accommodations will be emailed to each competitor after they register/commit to attend or upon request.

    Tips for our American Friends

    • Airguns with a muzzle velocity over 500fps are considered Firearms in Canada, and need to be registered. BUT don’t worry; it’s a simple thing to do. 
    • Go to this website and use the pdf form RCMP 5589 / CAFC 909 http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/form-formulaire/index-eng.htm#f6
    • Fill out the form in triplicate to speed things up at the border, but do not sign them. The Customs Officer will want to see you sign them.
    • If you have over three (3) guns, you will need a continuation form from the same website. Unfortunately a flat fee has been added for all rifles on form, not per rifle.
    • There is lots of information on the RCMP site for visitors, but if you are only bringing air rifles, you should have no problems at the border.
