It's a moot point that doesn't apply to this case since it didn't come on Air Canada. But a competition isn't the only reason; recreational shooting, hunting (non-restricted) etc.. are also valid reasons.

The standard rule is unloaded, secure locking device and locked in a hard case. You sign a declaration stating that it is unloaded and it goes through the oversize luggage station (maybe not handguns). You are allowed 11lbs of commercial ammunition as part of your checked luggage, has to be in the original packaging.
Rules for having them checked are exactly the same for non-restricted and restricted.
