   Canadian Firearms Safety Course
Firearms in Canada fall into one of three categories, they are non restricted (most modern hunting firearms including rifles and shotguns), restricted (primarily handguns), and prohibited.  In order to aquire non restricted firearms in Ontario you must be the holder of a valid "PAL" or firearms possession and aquisition license.  The CFSC or Canadian Firearms Safety Course is designed to teach you everything you need to know to be successful in both the written and hands on portion of this course.  The CFSC includes 8-10 hours of classroom instruction which is a combination of multimedia presentation, discussion, and hands on training with a variety of firearms.  At Buckeye firearms training we want to provide you with the most comprehensive training available, which is why we have over 30 rifles and shotguns in our inventory.  Each student will be issued the official CFSC student manual which is an excellent resource and will act as the guideline for our training session,the manual is broken into the following 10 sections:

-Introduction, including the Vital Four ACTS
-Introduction to firearms
-Basic firearms safety, including PROVE
-Ammunition 
-Operating firearms actions
-Safe handling and carrying of  non-restricted firearms
-Firing techniques and procedures for non-restricted firearms
-Care of non-restricted firearms
-Social responsibilities of the firearms owner/user
-Safe storage, display, transportation & handling of non-restricted firearms

When the classroom instruction and hands on instruction is completed you will be given a "quiz" (we hate the word test) consiting of 50 questions.  In order to pass the course you must achieve an 80% score on this written test (40 out of 50 correct).  Students will also be taken aside by their firearms instructor (all of whom are licensed, registered, and insured to conduct firearms training and testing in Ontario) and asked to demonstrate a number of firearm handling and safety procedures, during this portion of the test students can earn marks or have them deducted based on their performance.  Once again a score of 80% is required to pass this test.  At Buckeye Firearms Training we are very thorough in our teaching and boast a very high success rate.

      Ontario Hunter Education Program

Hunting in Canada and in particular Ontario has made a huge resurgence, we have opportunities in Ontario that most of the world can only dream of.  Ontario has been a leader in the area of hunter training for many decades, and this has led to a huge reduction in the number of hunting safety incidents annually.  Whether you want to hunt with rifles or with bows you must successfully complete the Ontario Hunter Education Program.  The OHEP course is offered in two manners, either as a standalone course or as part of a "onestop" program where the student is attending both the Hunter Education course and the Non Restricted Firearms course.  

-Explore why we want to hunt
-Wildlife management, ecology, ecosystems and habitat
-Understand responsible and ethical hunting
-Laws, Regulation, and the annual "Hunting Summary"
-Clothing, Equipment, Survival, and Hypothermia
-Hunting techniques, calling, scouting, wind, treestands
-Shot placement for Ontario big game
-Field dressing and preparing animals for taxidermy
-The 10 rules of hunter safety
-Bow hunting, bow types and parts, it's a short nature sport

  Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course

For those wishing to aquire restricted firearms in Canada (primarily handguns) you require a firearms Possession and Aquisition Licence (PAL) with both restricted and non restricted endorsement.  If you have taken the non restricted course or CFSC within the past month we are allowed to skip three modules of the CRFSC (overlap with the non restricted firearms class), however if you took your non restricted PAL over 12 months prior we must complete the full curriculum.  Depending on class size we can often finish the extra modules on the same day.  Please note if you have not successfully completed the requirements for a non restricted PAL you cannot take the the restricted firearms training course.
