When I took the class (in 1969) it was run by the NRA. It was called the NRA Safe Hunter course. It was held at our church and we did the shooting part at Suffield Academy. (they had an indoor range)
The fact that I didn't buy a hunting license for a couple years ( it was actually 6) I all of a sudden forgot everything I had been doing safely for 35 years?
I don't mind terribly doing it over again, but access is poor.
In the beginning there was nothing. Even that exploded.
