Our Story
At Canadian firearms Training Corp, safety and skill come first in every course we offer.
The Canadian Firearms Training’s mission is to empower and educate individuals in the safe, responsible, and proficient use of firearms. Our dedicated group of instructors, with diverse qualifications and extensive experience in practical shooting disciplines, guides new and novice graduates through PAL (Possession and Acquisition Licence) and RPAL (Restricted Possession and Acquisition Licence) courses. They also assist more seasoned shooters in enhancing their skill level.
Our expertise spans a broad spectrum of disciplines, from practical handgun shooting to rifle and shotgun sports, tailored to meet the unique needs of each participant. Through structured training programs, mentorship, and hands-on experience, we aim to cultivate a community of responsible firearm enthusiasts who exemplify excellence, discipline, and respect within the shooting sports community.
Practical pistol shooting prioritizes safety above all, with strict protocols to ensure a secure environment for participants and spectators. Safety rules are enforced universally, guided by organizations like the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) and the International Defensive Pistol Association (IDPA). Key safety measures include rigorous firearm handling practices, range commands, and mandatory safety gear.
All newly qualified shooters who are seeking specific training to enhance their skills and improve their overall performance in shooting matches are encouraged
