The program, given free, included 10 hours of coursework in areas such as safe handling of firearms, shoot – don’t shoot field situations, hunting and safety regulations and many other subjects geared toward the safe and enjoyable pastime of hunting in Pennsylvania. Subjects covered in the class included:

Safe handling of sporting arms and trapping equipment

5 members Bull Creek, all certified by the state, conducted the class and were helped by a dozen other members to produce an excellent experience for all who took part. The class was free but class size was limited to 50 participants to ensure every one had a seat and could hear the instruction without interruption.
Our next class will be held in August in conjunction with the West Deer Twp Police Department. Details will be posted as soon as they become available.
