Well it is official. I got a letter from Director Anderson and he fully supports the move to remove all working Firearms from Hunter Education Classes.I expect them to tell everyone at IST in Yakima and have a completion date of July 2013. After that you will never touch a working firearm in Hunter Ed Class. They also want to do away with any live fire days. They are spending thousands on firearms with no firing pin.I am told only on set of five per class.So that is it for me, when the final word comes that I am not allowed to use working firearms in my classes than I am done,
Live fire is not being eliminated.

Its time for all hunter education instructors to let there voices be heard, the program will not work without live fire training, I cannot continue instructing if this becomes reality, the enviros have taken over the hunter education program, we should have a poll asking our fellow sportsman for a no confinance vote .
I'm glad then I got my daughter who was 7 last year through the class already and passed. She is excelled in the knowledge and respect of weapons more so than many other children her age. I like that she got the opportunity to handle many different weapons of different working actions that I don't have in my own gun collection during her class, and liked the fact that even after passing the booklet she still had to carry a gun through a field course, and shoot a live 223 without me to pass hunters safety. Maybe one of the complaints is the cost of live ammo, idk, I donated two boxes to her instructor.
What decision?
