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.

FN 5.7×28mm - Silvercore Training BC

FN 5.7×28mm - Silvercore Training BC



The FN 5.7×28mm is a small-caliber, high-velocity cartridge designed and manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium. It is a bottlenecked centerfire cartridge that is somewhat similar to the .22 Hornet or .22 K-Hornet.[7] The 5.7×28mm was developed in conjunction with the FN P90 personal defense weapon (PDW) and FN Five-seven pistol, in response to NATO requests for a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge.

In 2002 and 2003, NATO conducted a series of tests with the intention of standardizing a PDW cartridge as a replacement for the 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge. The tests compared the relative merits of the 5.7×28mm cartridge and the 4.6×30mm cartridge, which was created by Heckler & Koch as a competitor to the 5.7×28mm. The NATO group subsequently recommended the 5.7×28mm cartridge, citing superior performance in testing, but the German delegation objected and the standardization process was indefinitely halted

2,500 Meter Rifle Shot - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

2,500 Meter Rifle Shot - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR6n7ztRJfs

Hitting a target more than 2,500 meters away proved to be no sweat for this long-range shooter, even though the bullet had to travel for almost a full five seconds in the air.

LiveLeak user Grizzman uploaded a video showing viewers his set up and successful near-1.5 mile shot with a .338 Lapua Magnum rifle and a metal target.

“A few days ago I took out the 338 Lapua and attempted the 2,500-yard shot,” Grizzman said. “So I placed the target at 2,530 yards or 1.43 miles away, at that distance the bullet flight time is almost 4.5 seconds!”

“I went out early in the morning to beat the mirage, luckly [sic] there was very little wind around 3-4 mph coming from the left, I dialed 2.6 mils Left,” the shooter explained on LiveLeak. “I had to dialed the maximum elevation my scope (Nightforce NXS 5.5-22×56 MIL/MIL) had at 27.4 mils then held over 2.5 mils on the reticle to get me to 29.9 mils.”

THE FNH SCAR- 16 - Silvercore Firearms Training BC

THE FNH SCAR- 16 - Silvercore Firearms Training BC



BY JERRY JONES   |   POSTED ON 04/17/2014 BY JERRY JONES   |   IN LONG GUNS REVIEW

In late 2004, FN Herstal won the contract from the United States Special Operations Command for a new, modular, and adaptable rifle system. The FNH entry was called the Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle (SCAR). The new rifle system offering was rumored to be slated for several different calibers, including 6.8 SPC. To date, the FNH SCAR is only available in factory form in 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm. The FNH SCAR saw service with the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in the two variants, the SCAR MK16 (5.56), commonly referred to as the SCAR-L for Light, and the MK17 (7.62), commonly referred to as the SCAR-H for Heavy. In 2010, SOCOM announced that it was cancelling the MK16 program. The initial claim was that the MK16 did not do anything better than the current M4 offerings.  To my knowledge, a couple of units still field the 5.56 SCAR-L in the 10.5 inch CQC variant. The SCAR family of rifles operate off of a short stroke piston system. The SCAR family of rifles are also completely ambidextrous, a bonus for left handed shooters who often are at the whim of right hand designs.

My love affair with the FNH SCAR line of rifles began in early 2010, when I acquired my first personally owned SCAR 16s.  The rifle is the civilian version which currently only is offered in the 16 inch, and in semi-automatic only. Some of the features really struck me. The first thing I noticed was the massive size of the bolt carrier. It appeared very well designed and more robust than the standard AR15 offerings.

Looking at the external features, the rifle was fully adaptable right out of the box. It requires no extra purchase of MIL-STD 1913 rails to mount any mission essential gear on. It is fully adjustable for both length of pull, and for cheek weld adjustment. The length of pull is helpful, as the ability to shorten the stock to fit various different day to day body armor styles is very helpful. The folding stock might be an asset for some officers, but I am neither hot nor cold on it.  I could see it might be a bonus for some in car mounting systems where space is limited. As I stated earlier, the rifle is fully ambidextrous.  It comes from the factory with an ambidextrous magazine release.  It also comes from the factory with an ambidextrous selector switch. It is also worth noting that the selector switch only rotates 45 degrees instead of the 90 degree selector found on most AR15 style rifles. The bolt on the SCAR line of rifles is reciprocating, and the bolt handle is designed so that it can be mounted on the left of right side to accommodate a wide variety of shooting styles.

In the next 15,000 or so rounds that went down the tube, one of the major perceived drawbacks to the weapon became pretty apparent to me.  The SCAR 16s gets hot when ran hard.  While the heat transfer on the bolt is minimal, the front of the factory fore arm and front sight block get very hot. Adding the FNH rail extension helps if your shooting style puts the off hand out front as far as possible. Or if you are going to run it hard, you can simply wear gloves. It isn’t really a problem for me as much as an observation. Aside from that, some officers that I work with and I have found the recoil impulse to be very accommodating to speed shooting.

Another of the perceived drawbacks of the SCAR line of rifles is the length and positioning of the bolt handle. Some operators have rightfully stated that depending on which optic that is used, it becomes harder to use the bolt handle due to how close the bolt handle rides to the mounting of the optic. There are a number of good offerings out there of after market bolt handles if this is a problem for you.

In my humble opinion, the police carbine has a few things that fall in the category of a must, and a couple that fall into the category of things that are nice to have.The first must is a good sling. The SCAR 16s has multiple sling points on the rifle as it comes from the factory.  They are both right and left side, and also include a slot in the top of the rear of the stock. It is completely left up to personal preference and the imagination on the set up of the sling. I personally like the HK style hooks on the Viking Tactics line of padded slings.  I also added a Magpul Rail Sling Adapter to the bottom rail and run it all the way back near the magwell. I like this a bit better if I have to transition to a pistol, or sling the rifle tight for whatever reason.

Another must is a good white light. While there are literally thousands of offerings out there, some are problematic due to the design of the SCAR rifle. I spent quite a while toying with the various light attachment designs. I am a fan of the Viking Tactics light mount attachments. However, to accommodate the bolt carrier design, the SCAR is a little taller than most AR15 designs. I prefer a lighting set up that I can shoot a high thumb, or C grip from either shoulder, without having to change my grip and style of shooting. The two methods I found that best accommodate this is to either run a 500 lumen SureFire X300 ultra at the 12 0′clock position or the SureFire M720V Raid light with the pressure switch at 12 o’clock on the top rail. A good white light and sling are the must on any police carbine.

The nice to have items start with a good quality red dot sight. The full length rail on top of the SCAR gives an officer a pretty wide latitude on where to mount it. The Aimpoint T1 is a great fit. I bought a tan EoTech and mounted it on one of my SCAR16s and ran it for a while without issue.  The T1 in an intermediate mount that provides absolute cowitness is a great option. The T1 has an obscene battery life and I just leave it on constantly. When I pull the rifle out of the trunk of my cruiser, I just have to chamber a round. I do not have to worry about turning my optic on, or worry about the battery running down. I just replace my Aimpoint battery in the spring when I change out my home smoke detector batteries and I am good to go.

I also run the Magpul stubby vertical fore grip on my SCAR rifles.  I use it primarily as a hand stop, and it also comes in handy in supported barricade shooting.

The last item that can be problematic with the use of a SCAR as a duty rifle is that not all magazines will work in the SCAR16s. Most GI spec metal magazines will work fine, but some of the Magpul magazines will not work in the SCAR16s. The new version Magpul Gen3 mags will work in the SCAR without issue. Older Magpul magazines can be successfully modified to work in the SCAR16s.  All it takes is a few minutes, a file and an internet connection.

The FNH SCAR16s is a great all round police carbine. Its modular design and ruggedness makes it ideal for police service in any conditions.

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.

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.
