Usually the parents are asked to stay behind during the field course.Good luck to her!Isn't this only for the ones that do the in person class? I heard that the online never has live fire and I thought I read that while taking the online course too?

well said and thank You! I was trying really hard not to be the crazy dad as I felt and still feel that children should not be forced two fire weapons they are not comfortable with. My daughter will not be wingshooting anytime in the foreseeable future so why should she have to shoot a shotgun? The responsibility of teaching children how to actually fire weapons is that of the parent in my opinion.The two firearms that were available to the class didn't even come close to fitting my child or about half a dozen other kids in the class yet there they were barely able to reach the trigger just banging away. There were literally kids in tears after shooting the 20 gauge shotgun. That's a great way to start out your firearm career But like I said before, our instructor team was absolutely amazing and truly wanted to see these kids succeed. I can't speak highly enough to their dedication to our youth. I still feel though that there should not be alive fire and if there is they should have some small guns that fit little shooters adequately. I also feel that the rifle shooting should allow support for the front of the firearm and not making kids shoot standing or from a kneeling
Black Diamond Gun club has one this weekend the 26th. I will not be at this one. Taking the weekend off doing some scouting and maybe a little fishing on Monday. Black Diamond doesn't do a live fire. It is a blast teaching young kids and answering their questions. I always say the only stupid question is an unasked question. I am not out to see kids fail but I do put them on the spot when walking through our course. Good luck to her.

We had "that guy" in our class! He added 30 min to the class every night qith random hypothetical questions! All I could do to not turn around and say please shut up
