Hunter Education Course...It’s Free!

Scouts in Longhorn Council

Here is a great opportunity to complete the Hunter Education course.  At each Gun Show,  the Dallas Arms Collectors sponsors the Hunter Education Class for youth who want to learn more about gun safety and proper wildlife conservation.  That’s Right….It’s Free!  Plus, you will get into the gun show for free. The class is one day, Saturday from 9 am – 4 pm, which allows for time to complete paperwork and take the end of course test. You will need to arrange your own (or shared) transportation to Market Hall and bring a sack lunch. Concessions at the gun show are available. If adult leaders are interested in taking classes, there is a nominal fee for Range Safety Officer and Certified Shotgun Instructor. Other classes may be available, if interested, please email kate.ross@sbcglobal.net for into.
