“hunter education”

In 1949, your NRA developed a program that became the basis for hunter education nationwide. Today, as new modes of communication allow such education to reach even further, your NRA crafted a new hunter education curriculum and offered it to the hunting world free of charge.

The grounds of the 33,000-acre NRA Whittington Center exploded during the last week in July when more than 250 youths and their adult coaches and parents traveled from all parts of the country to participate in the 2015 International Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC), held in Raton, N.M.

The NRA announces the launch of its free Experienced Hunter Education Course, an online refresher regarding everything an experienced hunter should know, including a review of firearm safety and safe hunting practices.

At its 51^st annual conference, the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA) bestowed its highest honor—the Gladney Davidson Memorial Award—on Marion Hammer for her significant contributions to hunter education.

The free Web-based course, developed by the organization that built the first-ever hunter education program in the United States in 1949, earns international recognition for its superb approach to instruction.

Your National Rifle Association is pleased to announce its free online Hunter Education Course has raised more than $150,000 for state wildlife agencies in matching Pittman-Robertson (P-R) funds.

In 1985, we launched a program to facilitate friendly competition among youths 18 and younger that would advance hunting skills including wildlife identification, orienteering and rifle, shotgun and archery marksmanship. Today, thousands of hunter education volunteers and parents still conduct this program at the state and local level to produce safer, more skillful and more ardent American hunters.

Not just an after-school activity, YHEC is a hunter’s training camp.

On July 1, Kentucky became the eighth state to adopt the NRA’s free online hunter education course, NRAHE.org.
