This is one of many “Hunting and Shooting Sports skills classes” that will be offered in the Panhandle and elsewhere throughout the state.
Hunting and Shooting Sports classes are intended to offer more in-depth instruction and expertise on specific skills relative to hunting and shooting. For example, there is a skills course being offered at Black’s Creek Public Shoot Range in Kuna on May 14 to learn the basics of sighting in a rifle.
At the end of the day, we want you to feel equipped and be successful in your hunting and shoot endeavors!
