The field day will train you to apply what you've learned in practical scenarios. You'll practice crossing a fence or obstacle with a firearm, identifying wildlife, the zones of fire and basic rifle shooting fundamentals.

At the conclusion of the field day you'll take the final written exam and participate in a live-fire shooting exercise. Parents are encouraged to attend the training.
