Ammunition is a challenge right now! Shooting Sports members in .22 Rifle, .22 Pistol, and Shotgun may have some trouble finding .22 rounds and shotgun shells at a reasonable price. The Shooting Sports program may have some available for members to use, but not enough for all members to use for the entire season. Please be on the lookout to buy supplies for your family. You can set notifications on some websites to alert you when it's in stock, and please check stores for stock regularly.
Hunter education is not required to compete at the county shoots. However, to be eligible to compete at the state competition, participants must submit their hunter education card before the July 1 deadline.
Members who are 11-years-old or older have the opportunity to receive their hunter education card by completing ONLY the online course before May 15, 2021. This is a temporary allowance due to health restrictions, so we recommend getting started now. The cost is $24.50.
For members who are under 11-years-old, the online course at Hunter-Ed.com is required prior to attending the in-person internet completion course.
Register for the in-person class here and then click the button above to register and begin the online course.
The in-person completion course will be held on April 17–18, 2021 at the First National Bank Building at The Ranch and Front Range Gun Club in Loveland. The class fee is $10.
The major portion of this course uses the Internet to complete the mandatory homework. The online portion of this course is $24.50 and is available. Students must show the certificate of completion for the online course to attend the classroom session.
On Saturday, we will meet at the First National Bank building at The Ranch in Loveland from 9:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. On Sunday, we will meet at the Front Range Gun Club at 697 Denver Avenue in Loveland from 8:00–10:00 a.m.
