I thought that was a pretty good idea, any thoughts on that?The obvious question is why are so few graduates hunting? It is clear that some students come to class to learn about firearms, not to prepare for hunting. Parents may think that sending their children to a class that costs $5 is a great way to learn about firearm safety, and to some extent they're correct. Other students that plan to hunt don't for a variety of reasons. I think sometimes it is dad pressure on the child to hunt, and they end up not wanting to. It may be at the end of the class there is a fear of firearms. Think of it another way, why as kids get older are they less and less likely to play in sports?
