[QUOTE="Andy, post: 260438, member: 5096"] Marg - The kids need to go through this class in order to legally be out in the woods having gun in hand with their family during hunting season. I wish it was mandatory for even non-hunting kids to go through. There are some great videos showing how easy it is to be careless and every night of class the three major hunting rules are hammered into them. If by the test time the kids do not know: Be sure of your target and what is around it, handle your gun as if it is loaded at all times, and control your muzzle at all times then they automatically do not pass. They go through what to do if you become lost and stress to make a plan and stick to it. Many injuries are due to one of the hunting party getting bored and changing positions without the others knowing. So, others have no idea where that person is. That happened to me on a drive once. The idiot I was next to dropped out of sight. I stayed put and after 10 minutes of not seeing him left the woods (I was very close to the edge). I refuse to go forward not knowing where the other hunter was. He had found a dead deer and decided to stop driving the woods (didn't stick to the plan). He had stooped down to examine it. Very very foolish. He should have marked the spot to come back to later. If I had continued and the person outside the woods saw me go past and figured it was clear and saw a deer, he could have shot the idiot that changed the plan of the group. I think they get more than what most of their dad's would teach. difficult child may not be carrying a gun, but we want him to have this class to be out with the hunting party. He wants to go out this fall. I will actually be surprised if he does. I don't like watching kids running through the neighborhood playing "cops and robbers" and "shooting" at each other. Those kids have no clue about respecting guns. My neighbor is surprised that while I allow difficult child to carry a BB gun I am not comfortable with airguns and paint pellet guns. I don't like the paying big bucks for kids to run around (should not run with a gun in hand - loaded or not) shooting at each other. [/QUOTE]
