AED & CPR Training
Firearms Safety / Hunter Education
Minnesota Hunter Education/Firearms Safety Certification Course
“The firearms safety class consists of a minimum of 4 separate class sessions (students must attend the entire class for which they sign up), learning the safe handling of firearms, hunter responsibility and wildlife conservation. Students then complete the additional field day.
The field day consists of seven required scenario-based training opportunities. These scenarios allow students to learn and demonstrate commonly accepted principles of safety in hunting and the handling of firearms. It includes shooting a .22 caliber rifle on a range.” – Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
