Hunt Ed Field Course Question
« on: April 26, 2014, 06:36:06 PM »
The course dates are either open but full, open and enrolling or future dates that will open to enroll later.

If a date is June 1 open for registration with a June 20 course date, what time does the registration open?  Midnight June 1?  6AM, some other time? 

I know that some courses fill really quickly so does a guy need to log on at 12:01 am?  This is for a junior member of our family.  Thanks

The class should come available the first minute of the day the instructor selected to allow registration .

The reason they are doing this is because people would sign up for several classes. Than never show up because they found one closer or better dates. So hundreds of seats were un filled. And hundreds of students could not find a class.

They are hoping shorting the time between sign up and class will curb this problem.

That's not correct.

Classes become available for registration at 10:00 p.m. Pacific time. A class that has a June 1 registration opening will be available at 22:00 on May 31.

Many of our online sessions are full by 10:02.

I might be wrong. But I was told today that they have put a clock which shows when the class would allow students to register . Because the old setting was for a different time zone thus triggering the two hour difference.

It is my understanding from the IST I attended today that that issue has been corrected.

Maybe I understood it wrong.

Good to hear if they corrected it. Kalkomey's computers are in the Midwest, and the registration was run on that time zone.

I just checked the student view of my upcoming class.

There is now a clock at the top of the page which is counting down to the second when a student can register for my class.

OP
Go to the info page for any class and view the clock. It will answer you question.

The on line registration is changing on almost a daily basis fixing bugs.

I just went and looked at the class I'm wanting to get my daughter registered in, and yep, I see the countdown clock as well.

The clock is still referencing 22:00 as when registration opens for our next course.

I set up an account for my daughter do to hers online.
Question: To do the field test what types of weapons are used?
Caliber/style? Bolt, break, semi?
Do they actually shoot?
Any info would be great
Thanks.

When my daughter took it they shot a rolling block .22.  I wouldn't worry too much about the field session.  I sat in the in-person class with her and was really glad we did it that way.  Great time together and I think she got much more out of it than the online version.  That said, I did online and it was a quality program too.

It depends on the particular course. Many do not include live fire as part of the online skills evaluation. All should include some form of firearms handling.

Not knowing how a particular action works would not cause a student to fail. Pointing a firearm at someone or carelessly handling a firearm would, regardless of the action. If a student does not know how an action works, ask the instructor.
