This is one of many “Hunting and Shooting Sports skills classes” being offered in the Panhandle and elsewhere throughout the state. 

Hunting and Shooting Sports skills classes are intended to offer more in-depth instruction and expertise on specific skills relative to hunting and shooting. For example, there is a Muzzleloading 101 class scheduled for March 25 at the Black’s Creek Public Shooting Range in Kuna, ID where participants will learn the fundamentals of muzzleloader shooting.

We want you to feel equipped and be successful in your hunting and shooting endeavors!
