A skills session training will take place in Gallatin on Oct. 20, 2018, at the Gallatin High School from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The skills session is the second step of a two-step process to complete the Hunter Education course. The first step is Knowledge-based training.
The Missouri Department of Conservation recently revised the Hunter Education course for student convenience and to emphasize hands-on training. The course is now a two-step process.
The first step is to complete the knowledge-based training through one of three options.
Option 1: Take the online/mobile study portion and complete the review quizzes. The student must show the Missouri Skills Session Qualifier Certificate to enter the Skills Session.
Option 2: Complete, at your own pace, the home study portion by requesting a Hunter Education student manual. Bring the manual with all review sections completed to the skills session.
Option 3: Register and attend the four-hour classroom session presented by Hunter Education instructors.
The second step is the skills session. The skills session must be attended by all students, regardless of the option used to complete the knowledge-based training. The skills session is a separate from the knowledge-based training. The skills session is a training that is primarily hands-on training of critical skills.
The skills session takes only four hours. The skills session concludes with a 35 question multiple-choice final exam that is weighted heavily on the knowledge studies. You must achieve an 80% (miss no more than seven questions) or higher to pass the final exam and be certified. The skills session is free of charge.
Student manuals for the knowledge studies are available at Pierce Gun Works/Pierce Auto Supply in Gallatin or the Missouri Department of Conservation Regional Office in St. Joseph, phone 816-271-3100.
