Dave Bartlett - Firearms Instructor

David Bartlett teaches Canadian Firearms Safety Course and IPSC Black Badge Courses in the Ottawa area and to the east of the city in communities such as Limoges, Embrun, Casselman, Navan, Hammond, Bourget, Russell and Rockland.

Canadian Firearms Safety Courses are scheduled when there are enough students to merit a session. Canadian Firearms Safety Course and the Canadian Restricted Firearms Safety Course examinations are available in both English and French. Class size are limited to ten students to ensure that you get the attention and hands on practice you need to pass the tests, in keeping with the standards set by the Firearms Safety Education Service of Ontario. I periodically teach the CFSC and CRFSC over one weekend with the assistance of another instructor to classes of twenty students at a central location in Ottawa.

Dave is also the founder and owner of www.FirearmsTraining.ca and the content developer for www.GunExams.com.

Dave Bartlett (Instructor #ON-0965), also teaches the Canadian Defensive Pistol Shield course, and the International Practical Shooting Confederation "Black Badge" course for competitive action pistol shooters and the Canadian Shooting Sports Association Handgun Safety Course, and has acted as a senior official at various National and Provincial shooting competitions. He is also trained by the Universal Shooting Academy as a Practical Pistol Instructor and by the Remington Shooting School in shotgunning. Dave also offers IPSC shooting clinics for those who are looking for more personalized instruction in the fine points of action pistol shooting, when his schedule permits.

The next combined CFSC/CRFSC course will be held on the weekend of March 3/4 at a central location in Ottawa. The registration form is available here. As of February 2nd I only have one seat left for the CFSC portion of the course. The handgun course has sold out. Contact Dave@FirearmsTraining.ca to register for the course or be added to the waiting list. A seat on a course is not confirmed until payment in full is received before the course date.

On December 14th, 2010, the Firearms Safety Education of Ontario decreed that instructors are not permitted to conduct the CRFSC (handgun) test for youth under the age of 17.5 years. Youth can still take the CRFSC course but they cannot be tested in Ontario until six months before their 18th birthday.
