Hunter Education, Second 2008 Class

CRGC will hold the second Hunter Education course of 2008 in the middle of July, 2008.  The course will run for 6 sessions starting on Monday, 21 July 2008.  Attendees should be at the CRGC clubhouse at 5:45 PM for the first session.  Classes will start at 6:00 PM each night.  The following sessions will be held on 23, 26, 28, and 30 July, and 4 August from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, except Saturday, 26 July, which will be from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.  The Saturday class is for field work and live firing on the 50 yard ranges.

Anyone interested in participating can just show up with an adult at the clubhouse at the first session.  Adults are encouraged to stay for the class, but it is not required.  If you have questions you can communicate with the instructor, Glen Watson at 503-651-2049, or e-mail at gewatson@netscape.com), or the club e-mail (crgc@canby.com).  Interested persons can also call the club (503-266-2453), or come to the club any Tuesday night and speak with Glen, or a club officer.

On 1/1/08 the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife has started charging a $10.00 per student registration fee.  While CRGC disagrees with the imposition of this fee, we do not believe that the fee should be a barrier to any participant in the hunter education program.  If paying this fee will create a hardship for a participant, be sure that the adult accompanying the participant speaks with Glen Watson or another instructor on the first day of the class, and makes them aware of the problem.
