I am thinking of moving to Canada from Europe and have some questions I hope to get answered.
Firstly where I can find out the locations of clubs in Ottawa and which ones who are in to AR. Then how many competitions there are in the area and if it is tricky for a non-Canadien shooter to participate? (assuming I have joined the organization)
Maybe all this information are out there somewhere but I have not found it yet so I appreciate all replies. And if someone wonders, I am 28y.

Questions about AR in Canada
Moderators: pilkguns, Marcus, m1963, David Levene, Spencer
Here is a link that shows a number of different SFC affiliated clubs.

There is a number of them in Ontario, should be able to get a hold of them pretty easily.

There are a fair number of active AR shooters in Ottawa. If you want to pm me your email I will pass it on to Asmir who shoots AR in Ottawa.
As for comps
Nov- March we have the LSBA matches monthly
Canadian Airgun Grand Prix in Feb.
Indoor Provincials- Apr.
Nationals in the July August.
There are a bunch of other matches both in Ontario and Quebec, and some in the US too.
As for ease of entry it's no problem pay your money and your in, being a non resident it may effect what you can win, example you can't be Ontario Champion or National CHampion (if you did win you'd be High Visitor)
There are basically almost at least a match a month.
Mark Briggs who also posts on here is from Ottawa and can probably tell you a little more about the shooting scene in Ottawa area.
You're also close to Quebec where there are AR matches too.
Hope to see you in Ontario.

Perfect, that seems better than my first thought!
When I have been looking around earlier I´ve had some trouble finding out all this and just thought I would end up in my basement with a SCATT and an electronic target.
Without a citizenship I was not expecting to win competitions, as long as I can join in and get match training and maybe a final here and there I´m happy. If you could pass my e-mail on that would be great! I have more questions but it is probably easier answered by a local person.
Thanks for fast replies!
