Hunting safety class.
 

Woooooooooooooo. I start next week. it's a 1 week course on gun/hunting safety and 1 day out on the range. I'm so exited finaly I will be able to shoot guns and go hunting(it's required to go hunting/shooting guns).:D

i did that when i was 10, and ive been shooting since i could point the gun the way my dad told me to(two years ol with a 12guage and .22)

A whole week!!!!! Wow they're really serious in your state. Mine was only a day and a half. It was pretty easy because my husband had already taught me everything.

The thing they really emphasized was identifying your target and accounting for what's behind your target. The worst thing you can do is shoot at some movement in the brush. Guys have shot their own kids that way.

Hunting and shooting is about the most fun you can haveafter a couple of other things.

WOAH DLG!!!!!!! for the sake of this forum i wont ask what those things are that are funner than hunting;):D

and silent, very nice. i had to do the same thing back 6 years ago now. really not to tough to get through if you can manage to stay awake. if its a week long....how long do you have to spend in the classroom each day? surely not to long

I'm also wondering what they do for a whole week. Beyond the basic safety stuff, the rest is pretty much one on one or learn by doing it yourself. Daddy has been teaching me to stalk deer, but it's a skill that will take me a long time to learn. Not much competition though. Most people don't consider crawling through mud and getting burrs in your hair necessary to hunting. But it's a heckuva lot of fun. (If your mom pours vegetable oil on your hair, she can comb the burrs out more easily.) :D

Yeah, mine was just a day and a half too...... I wonder why they have to go for so long........

RE: Hunting safety class.
 

i took it when i could (11 i believe, might have been 10?)
ive been shooting ever since i could hold a gun. and hunting since i could walk

Ours was 2 days, one full day in the class room and part of the day taking the test, getting your hunters ed certification. A week seems pretty long but with some of the kids in my hunters safety class, i would have rather gone a week.

Mine was three days, saturdays actually. We did in the classroom stuff for a couple hours, then they spoke about how to shoot a certain gun(hand-gun, shotgun, and rifles) before takeing us to the range to go shooting. I cant imagine it takeing more then three days, but some of the hunters i have seen need it to be a semester-long course if its going to sink into them

We never even went to a range...
