What People Are Saying About BC Firearms Academy
Just got mine in the mail, can't wait to get my first restricted firearm.
Service was fantastic. Received my club card promptly and look forward to using it for my first Restricted purchase!
since there are such waiting lists to get into a gun range this is the best way so you can get your hand gun home.thanks
Great club happy to be part of
Joined the gun club when I was ready to purchase my first restricted firearm. It was quick and easy and my transfer was approved within 2 days.
I like being able to transfer hand guns without being limited to one club and able to go into other gun clubs is great
This gun club membership is perfect, allowing me to transfer my restricted firearms without being held down to a particular range/gun club.
Thanks!
There is nothing better out there. Do your research and you will come to the same conclusion.
I took the firearms course and passed it for a PAL for restricted and non restricted firearms. It was all that it could be, please see my review in that regard.
After receiving my PAL card I called B.C. Firearms for help in joining a gun club and all related issues. Once again, the call was taken immediately, they answered all my questions and others that I was not aware of but would need for a successful application.
The next day all documentation, application, etc was emailed to me all completed for me by their staff. Shortly thereafter my hard copy was in my mail and I was ready to go.
B.C. Firearms was fantastic from the beginning in all aspects and after I received the PAL from the RCMP, they jumped right onto my request for assistance and got it done in the shortest possible time.
One more time, make it easy on yourself, get the best possible training and teaching out there and just sign up with B.C. Firearms for all your needs related to firearms and ammunition. They will always be there for you following the course. Eric Beers was my instructor, he cannot be matched in this business.
Membership has its privileges Very easy to become a member ... one of the fastest application processes I have encountered!!
Purchased the gun club membership the day before I bought my restricted firearm. Upon purchasing I received an email with my membership confirmation that I was able to print out and used it at Cabela's. By the next week I had the actual card in the mail. Super fast and a very low cost to obtain your restricted firearms. I have been very happy with my RPAL, CORE and Gun Membership, thank you Eric and BC Firearms Academy!
Awesome team there would highly recommend
nice to be legal with my art toys and be able to practice where i enjoy it the most
I wonder what has happened to my renewed membership card. It’s been 21 days!
I originally purchased my membership to purchase and transport home a restricted handgun. During the ensuing year I made it through the waitlist for a rod and gun club. My membership came up for renewal and automatically renewed. This upcoming year I will cancel prior to the automatic renewal.
It took 5 to minutes on the phone. My membership card was in the mailbox 5 days later
Great service very cheap and they give you so much five stars
Could not have been easier, faster, good value for the money and providing the legally required club membership that you need, if owning restricted firearms.
Very efficient and professional
Thanks for your courses and help throughout.
I will recommend to my friends
Effective, inexpensive, convenient. Five stars.
Great service, thanks. Got the much-needed membership number within a half hour of applying. Made my gun purchase seamless.
