Free Hunter Safety Course

August 17, 2009

Escambia County Extension Services and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are offering a free hunter safety course.

Both traditional classroom style and online training are available. The traditional hunter safety course, which covers the knowledge, skills and attitude needed to be a safe hunter, is 12 hours of classroom instruction with a test and three hours on the range. The online version allows students to learn a majority of the knowledge portion of the course via computer with the remainder of the course covered in a four-hour classroom setting followed by a test and three hours on the range.

Participants must be 12 years of age or older. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

The hunter safety course will be held at the Langley Bell 4-H Center, 4810 West Nine Mile Road. Classes will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on September 15, 17, 22 and 24 with the range portion held September 26 from 7 to 10 a.m.
