CORE Hunter Education & Hunting License Course

CORE Hunter Education & Hunting License Course 

Silvercore has added several CORE hunter education courses to meet the increased demand this fall. 
Visit www.silvercore.ca for locations near you!



http://www.silvercore.ca/courses/core-hunter-education-1



Course Overview

The Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Education (CORE) Program is British Columbia's Hunter Education Program. It is also a great program for anyone interested in outdoor recreation.

The CORE Program consists of a practical firearms handling test, and a written examination on all of the following subjects:

Outdoor ethics and game care
Firearm handling and archery equipment
Hunting regulations
Animals of British Columbia
Birds of British Columbia
Outdoor survival, first aid & field craft
Hunter heritage, conservation and wildlife management
The CORE Manual and the Hunting and Trapping Regulation Synopsis are the resource manuals used to learn these subjects.

The Examination Process

Prior to starting the examinations, the CORE Examiner will have you complete a registration form. Until both exams have been successfully completed, the registration form may be kept by the student to be shown to an examiner each time an examination is taken, otherwise the record of the successful completion of a test may be lost.

Two Tests Required

The written examination consists of 75 multiple-choice questions based on the CORE Manual and the Hunting and Trapping Regulations Synopsis.

You must obtain at least 56 points overall (75%) in order to pass the written examination. Supplemental information from the CORE Manual is not tested.

The practical firearms handling examination requires the safe handling of two of the five types of firearm actions, including the identification and loading/unloading use of dummy ammunition. A minimum score of 21 out of 27 is required for a pass. The examiner will provide the firearms.

Individuals who have satisfactorily completed the Canadian Firearm Safety Course (CFSC) need not complete the CORE practical firearm-handling examination.

If you are interested in taking the two courses to both own firearms and to get a BC resident hunter number, Silvercore recomends taking the firearms licensing course (CFSC/CRFSC) course first then the Core Hunter Education Course.

You must provide the CORE Examiner with either the completed CFSC report form showing successful test completion, or a Firearms Acquisition Certificate (FAC) issued after January 1, 1995 or a Possession and Acquisition License (PAL) to be exempted the practical firearms handling examination.

A Possession Only Licence (POL) is NOT acceptable for the exemption to the CORE practical firearms handling exam.

2 mm Kolibri - World Smallest Production Handgun - Silvercore Firearms Training BC


2 mm Kolibri - World Smallest Production Handgun - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

The 2 mm Kolibri (also known as the 2.7 mm Kolibri Car Pistol or 2.7×9 mm Kolibri) is the smallest commercially available centerfire cartridge, patented in 1910 and introduced in 1914 by Franz Pfannl, an Austrian watchmaker, with financial support from Georg Grabner. It was designed to accompany the Kolibri semi-auto pistol or single shot pistol, both marketed as a self-defense weapon.

The cartridge weighed 5.3 grams (82 grains), measured 3 millimeters (0.12 in) at its widest point, and 11 mm (0.43 in) from the base of the primer to the tip of the bullet. The cartridge headspaced on the mouth of the case. The bullet itself weighed 0.2 g (3 grains), and was estimated to have a normal muzzle velocity of 200 m/s (650 fps), resulting in a muzzle energy 4.0 joules (3 foot-pounds).

The round was not accepted overly well. The 2 mm Kolibri's small size made handling and loading individual cartridges difficult, and the bullet itself was fairly weak, literature at the time suggesting the round was capable of penetrating only 10–40 mm (0.4 to 1.6 inches) of pine board. The round also suffered some accuracy issues, since the technology of the time was incapable of applying rifling to the bore of such a small caliber, resulting in no spin on the bullet.

The series, and most weapons by Franz Pfannl, were discontinued in 1938.

The cartridge (and related firearm series) is now a collector's item, with individual rounds going for over US$70. Original guns for this round can sell for US$5,000.

Waterfowl - Shot Selection Chart - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

Waterfowl - Shot Selection Chart - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

Here is an easy to read chart to help you get started choosing non-toxic shot for hunting waterfowl!

There are many choices of non-lead shotgun ammunition for waterfowl hunters. The shot types that are approved for waterfowl hunting include steel, bismuth, and several combinations of tungsten, iron, nickel, tin, etc. Steel shot is lighter and harder than lead. Steel's more aerodynamic shape than lead shot creates shot strings (the shot pattern length) that are smaller in length and diameter, delivering more dense patterns.

 As you read this chart, you will see some options for gauge, shot size as well as choke recommendation. For shot, there will be a recommended size given for steel shot as well as the other approved non-toxic alloy types. The options in BOLD type are those recommended for beginning shooters for the best results for their shooting skill level.

EQUIPMENT VS. SKILLL - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

EQUIPMENT VS. SKILLL - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

BY JOE   |   POSTED ON 04/21/2014 BY JOE   |   Silvercore Firearms Training BC

The firearms industry is driven by the aftermarket, not necessarily the weapon manufacturers themselves. Through advertising, aftermarket manufacturers convince the average shooter that they “need” every trinket and gizmo to make themselves a better shooter. This seems to be a never ending battle I have with people, convincing them which is more important, the software or hardware.

A fast shooter is fast not because of his equipment which SO SO SO many people can’t grasp. A person isn’t a good shot because of the rifle he/she holds, the rifle is accurate because of the person holding it. I’ve used this analogy before, that you cannot purchase muscle memory and no matter how many things you bolt onto your gun the shot timer will not reflect large improvements without rounds sent down range. You can’t rent experience, or borrow the needed skill to make a difficult shot, make it through an actual gunfight or life threatening situation. Those reflexes and abilities are earned on the range, and too many people focus on the tool and not the skill to use it.

A mechanic isn’t the person with the shiniest Snap On tool box and fanciest tools, he has built up years of experience that helps him do his job efficiently and right the first time. I get asked a lot about what drills I would recommend to become a better shot with a precision rifle. I would venture to say, most good instructors can get new students the same or better results and smaller groups in an afternoon with a iron sighted 22lr or scoped 22lr at 50 yards than a .308, 6.5 Creedmor or equivalent. The same can be said of a carbine with iron sights or a standard Glock 9mm without all the work everyone thinks they absolutely need to put into it.

Now am I saying that these things, additions, technology doesn’t help in some aspect? No I am not. I would venture to ask, do most people even know the reason they put all the Pic rail attachment items, or modifications on their gun? Other than that they saw their favorite Youtube, high speed instructor using it that way? Each person brings different dimensions, hand sizes, eye dominance, previous injuries to the table that will lead to changes in body position, grip, what gun is comfortable, trigger finger placement, what sight someone prefers, shape of trigger, stock they put on a gun, or any million other modifications you can make to your personal firearm.

Have a good reason and know why each modification is for you and why, it will only help to make you a better shooter and have a much better understanding of your shooting style and skill level. I challenge anyone to start basic, shoot till your fingers bleed, and then shoot some more. Burn some barrels out, get your hands on as many different options as possible for everything before deciding that just because instructor X uses it that way it’s the way for you.

FANCY PLASTIC GUNS. DO WE NEED ‘EM? - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

FANCY PLASTIC GUNS. DO WE NEED ‘EM? - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

BY TIM LAU   |   POSTED ON 12/19/2013   |   IN MODERN SERVICE PISTOLS WEAPON MODIFICATIONS



A quick look on popular social media sites such as Facebook or Instagram will yield plenty of photos of highly modified modern pistols worked over by shops such as Boresight Solutions, Salient Arms, ATEi, and others?

 I don’t think it is debatable that the guns look damn sexy, but do these guns really need all that fancy, and expensive, work to be truly serviceable?

Take a look at the pistol above. This pistol started out as a Glock 17 RTF2 that had nothing more than aftermarket sights (10-8 Performance brass bead front and .140″ notch rear), a factory minus connector, Apex extractor, TangoDown mag catch, and a metric sh!tload of trigger presses. It was one of my favorite pistols to shoot because it was pretty accurate and extremely reliable. But when the opportunity to get some fancy machining done to it by ATEi, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

So now the pistol’s been back a couple weeks and I’ve had the opportunity to shoot the heck out of it on the range. Honestly, all that fancy work does not really affect the shootability of this gun. It shoots no better or worse with all that fancy metalwork. Where the work comes into play is during manipulations. Loading, unloading, and chambered round verifications become easier thanks to the secure grip the vertical serrations offer (especially the front ones.) Yes, that finish on Glocks and M&Ps is slick. Anyway, through welding and fancy CNC machining, ATEi deleted the stupid fish scales on the rear and replaced them with aggressive vertical serrations. The top serrations are not much more than cosmetic, so while I like the look, that’s not a “must have”.

With the above in mind, 99% of the population would be best served by getting a good set of sights, shooting the heck out of their modern pistol, and spend the money on ammunition and a SIRT Pistol from Next Level Training. But if you have the resources to eek out that last 5% of performance and ease of handling out of your pistol, then look to do these types of mods.

THE MODIFIED GLOCK - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

THE MODIFIED GLOCK - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

BY JERRY JONES   |   POSTED ON 04/14/2014 |   IN 10-8 CONSULTING COURSES 10-8 PERFORMANCE GEAR MODERN SERVICE PISTOLS WEAPON MAINTENANCE WEAPON MODIFICATION



Glocks tend to run great out of the box.  They are reliable, and accurate.  I have a friend who shoots a lot of 3 gun and IDPA with a completely stock Glock 17 with the plastic sights, and does it well.  Some folks like to simply change out of the plastic “filler” sights that come stock, for aftermarket sights such as 10-8′s.I like my Glocks a bit more modified.  Above is a brand new Gen4 G19 that is a recent acquisition.  The gun shot great out of the box, but there are changes that I like to make for my own benefit.The first thing that has to go for me is the serrated trigger and trigger bar that come standard on compact and subcompact Glocks.  After a few hundred rounds down range, the serrated trigger becomes bothersome for me, so I just swap it out for the non-serrated full size trigger.

The next thing I like to change is the connector.  While the stock connector, or (-) minus connector can be shot well, I like the addition of the Ghost Rocket 3.5 “Deluxe”.  Across the dozen or so Glocks that I own, the trigger pull across the board with the Ghost Rocket and factory trigger return spring lends a pull of about 4.25 to 4.5 pounds.  But the reduction in poundage isn’t the reason I like them.  I like them because I can get a smooth prep shot to shot, even at four or five shots per second.  The factory connectors tend to wind up with a little “pressure wall” at the end of the trigger stroke, when can disrupt the sights just a bit at the time of ignition.

Moving onward, I add an extended slide stop to my G19′s.  While I don’t like them on the G26, G17, or G34 (or the .40 caliber counterparts), I do like the extended slide stop on the G19.A good set of sights.  I like and advocate 10-8′s.  I also have guns set up with Trijicon HD’s, and Scott Warren’s.  The thing I’ll caution people to is that you do need to research the particular sights before you purchase them, if you intend on shooting the gun past conversational distances.  A lot of the sighting systems out there will cause the point of impact to be above the point of aim on Glocks.  It is the nature of the beast.

I like the “butt plug” on the Glock, and have used them for years.  On the Gen3′s I used mainly the Jentra, but this round I bought two or three and tried them out.  I use them for an aid on the reload, and the Pearce seems to work the best for me.

Rounding the gun out with an Apex FRE, some spare recoil springs, a few plus two extensions to play with and 20 new G19 factory magazines, and this is going to probably be my primary training and teaching gun for 2014.Glocks run fine out of the box.  If you like a little modification, like I do, they run a bit better!

Accuracy International (AI) -Silvercore Firearms Training BC

Snipers aim to remain unseen but one made headlines last month when he killed six Taliban in Afghanistan with a single shot, by hitting the trigger of a suicide bomb.

The near 1,000-yard shot the British soldier took was made using an L115A3 rifle produced by Accuracy International (AI), a small company based on the outskirts of Portsmouth.

This feat is just one of many achieved by troops armed with AI products. The world record of 2,710 yards – more than a mile and a half – is held by Corporal of Horse Craig Harrison, of the Household Cavalry.
Shooting at a Taliban machine-gun position that was attacking an Afghan army patrol, it took Harrison’s bullet nearly three seconds to hit its target – a shot he then repeated twice more.
That AI can produce rifles capable of such precision is incredible in itself. That the company which makes the weapon of choice for Britain’s elite marksmen and special forces started out in the garage of one of its founders is perhaps even more remarkable.

These photos are of a Sig Sauer Pro that was left in an electric oven at 210°c / 400°f for 20 minutes. After cleaning it was put in to dry. The owner was then distracted by a phone call. -

GLOCK VS. M&P REVISITED - Silvercore Firearms Training

GLOCK VS. M&P REVISITED - Silvercore Firearms Training

BY HILTON YAM   |   POSTED ON 04/07/2014   |   IN MODERN SERVICE PISTOLS



A couple years ago, I wrote an article titled “Glock vs. M&P…or Why I Shoot An M&P.”  At the time that I wrote the article, the Gen4 Glock was still in an early phase of adoption and had some function issues, and the M&P had not yet begun what is now the most current round of production upgrades. Since no one seems to read the linked articles, I’ll sum it up for you right here: I opted to work around the issues of the M&P, using that as my primary training gun – M&P fans cheered, Glock fans burned me in effigy. I thought it would be worthwhile to revisit this now that the state of both pistols has changed quite a bit in the last couple years. 

The M&P has undergone a series of production upgrades in the last 2 years which makes it a very strong candidate for an out of the box service pistol, with no significant flaws.  The previously known issues with accuracy of the factory barrels with the 1:18.75″ twist have been resolved with new barrels featuring a 1:10″ twist, the same as in factory Glock barrels.  The M&P is no longer ammunition sensitive, and provides accuracy similar to the Glock using various bullet weights.  The M&P slide stop, trigger bar, and sear have gone through several generational changes, and the latest guns have crisp breaking trigger with reduced overtravel and positive reset.

Glocks, in particular the Gen4 9mm variants, have undergone changes with the ejectors and recoil spring assemblies, largely resolving the reliability issues of the early guns.

If you are shooting .40 because of departmental constraints, then the playing field has leveled out a bit with the production of the Gen4 Glock, which offers a purpose built dual recoil spring system which significantly softens the recoil and promotes greater longevity than the Gen3 guns.  Function with attached weapon lights is also dramatically improved in the Gen4.  Only 2 years ago, the clear choice in .40 was the M&P, but now users have the added option of the Gen4 Glock 22 or 23.

On of the other quirks that I highlighted in the original article compared reloading in both guns, and that has not changed.  The M&P still has the edge in factory configuration, as the Glock frames still have the big hole at the rear of the frame which is a huge snag point for incoming reloads.  If department policy permits, this is an easy fix with the installation of an inexpensive grip plug.

Another feature was that of magazine disassembly, which for some reason brought on some bit of ire from readers.  The Glock magazine is still slower and more difficult to disassemble than the M&P – if you don’t believe me, time yourself disassembling 4 mags.  Why should you care?  If you train enough, you’ll end up out in the rain or mud and a mag is sure to end up nose down in something which should be cleaned out of the tube.  The M&P mag is quick to disassemble for cleaning, and my Glock mags have defaulted to getting brushed out in the assembled state.  No real functional advantage to either platform here, just different if you are rebuilding mags or installing base pads (which I do a lot, since we seem to have a lot of those here).

Given the choice between the two bone stock pistols as pictured above, the current state of manufacturing has left us in a dead heat.  Sorry, not much fodder for flaming me on fan forum threads, but it’s a good thing for the end user as both the Glock and M&P are solid contenders now.  It’s just up to you to choose which one fits your needs best.
