Our firearm safety classes will fill with local children 1st and then take others on a first apply until classes are filled. (others include Hibbing, G R, etc.) Thank you for your support. New last year and available to all is an "On-Line Hunters Education class".

Click here for 10 Commandments of Firearms Safety On-Line Hunters Education The 1st Part of this program is an interactive independent study program that is found at, We Do Not do one day range day sessions at this time, WE DO traditional classes Here. http://www.huntercourse.com/usa/minnesota/ The On-Line Course has TWO Buttons, One for 11-17 year old and one for 18 and older. The 18 and older has an interactive Range day and the student can elect to complete with an instructor or just register after completion and receive the certificate. Students will sign in on this website and remembering their sign Username and Password, in can work at there own pace while completing the 15 chapters. Each chapter has an exam that must be passed before being allowed to progress to the next chapter. Once all chapters are completed a final test is taken on-line. Everything done up to this point is free to anyone interested in firearms safety, and will take aprox. 15 hours if one passed each chapter exam and the final exam on there 1st attempt as all study is timed with a minimum time requirement and no maximum time requirement. At this point if one decides that this is the route they want their child to go, there is a payment to the host of the web site of $24.95 and upon making this payment a voucher of completion is then printed out with a registration number and instructions on how to continue to the next part of this process. Around the State of Minnesota firearms instructor groups are setting up what is called an "ALL DAY RANGE AND CERTIFICATION COURSE". There will many times be a fee of up to $7.50 to participate in this required activity. This fee will not cover the Firearms Safety Certificate you are looking to get. At the successful completion of this "ALL DAY" program a certification number will be issued to the graduating student that will then be used on the MN DNR web site (click on Buy a Licenes and then look to the bottom of that page and click on "Safety Certificate Self Certification that you will find HERE, and upon payment of $7.50 Through a E-Check or Credit Debit card OR there is a Telephone Number to call if one has no internet access, the number is [MN DNR License Center 651-297-1230 or toll free 1-877-348-0498]a Firearms Safety Certificate will be issued to the student at that time where-upon the 1st phase of a lifetime commitment to safe gun handling will begin. You will have to pre-register for this activity. This will be different than the RANGE DAY associated with a Traditional Firearms Safety Class because students in these traditional classes will have all the pre-requirements completed in the regular classroom setting. When one studies the on-line program there is no instructor student interaction, although in many cases there will be excellent student parent/guardian interaction but each student upon finding and pre-registering for the above mentioned "ALL DAY" program will do the required registration with parent or guardian present and providing identification in the form of passport, birth certificate or other state issued identifications. Then there is another "VERIFICATION EXAMINATION" to make certain this student did preform the on-line study that the voucher is claiming. Next each student will watch the required video, "THE LAST SHOT" A traditional class will have several more. Next the student will be instructed on all firearms handling disciplines and preform these disciplines (carry positions and firearm identification and operation skills)for the instructors. Next will be a hunters walking trail where each student will be presented with many shoot/no-shoot situations. Next will be a live fire exercise where each student will fire a minimum of 15 rounds of .22 rimfire ammunition. All firearms will be provided so no student should under any condition bring a firearm or ammunition to this "ALL DAY" program. There will be several more activity's throughout the day, like a compass course where a student (youth) will get a free compass provided through the Jamie Tennison Program, FREE COMPASS and a hunters plan exercise among other activity's. You will be notified in the pre-registration if you will need to bring a lunch of if one will be provided. Each site will have some differences. One will go to the MN DNR web site "Click Here" To find a "ALL DAY" Range day activity near you. The Nashwauk area instructors may at some point in time offer one of these "ALL DAY" range day activity's, but are under no requirement by the DNR to do so. We have chosen to provide the Traditional classroom class just as we have been doing for the past 45 years. The cost of the traditional class is FREE, and there is a $7.50 registration fee that will be required for certification to the state of Minnesota. An On-line class will cost; $24.95 to the web host $7.50 to the state of Minnesota upon certification Optional fee of up to $7.50 can be collected by a "All Day range program for equipment. For a total of up to $39.95 for this new way of Certification.
