[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2926597, member: 126670"] I took a hunter education course through the PG Rod and Gun Club to get my PAL and hunting license. They had 3 courses, the basic course just to pass the test, and a longer course to learn more about it, and a longer yet course to really get into it. I'm so glad that I took the longest course. We had fake guns we carried through the bush just to get used to carrying them even, we would be told to all get in the standing shot or prone position or whatever the instructor told us and treat it like a real rifle, and squeeze off a fake shot. He even pointed out the edible plants, and identified the wildlife we saw on our hikes. My class was only 4 people including the instructor. In my experience 9 days well spent, and not just for the range time. Really a range is a waste of time to me, I live in the bush, my nearest neighbor who doesn't live on the ranch is 7 kms away in a straight line. Heck behind us there is nobody for 50 kms. But the guy was a wealth of knowledge, and had been instructing for almost 30 years, and was a guide in the fall. [/QUOTE]
