Wake County 4-H will host a Hunter Education course on May 19 - 21 for any interested youth and adults. There is no minimum age requirement to attend the course, but it is taught at the sixth-grade level and there is a test at the end of the course.
This is strongly recommended for youth who wish to participate in the Target Shooting Sports program and required for anyone who intends to hunt in NC.
The course will be taught by an instructor from the Wildlife Resources Commission.
Course times are 6PM - 9:30 each evening and participants must complete all sessions. All materials are provided, but no food or drinks will be provided, though participants are welcome to bring your own food and drink.
There is no fee for the course.

Congratulations New Shooting Sports Instructors!
A huge THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS to our three volunteers - Donna LeSage, Bryan Wynns, and Jill Ruvidich, who attended the NC 4-H Target Sports Instructor training this weekend at Camp Sertoma!
Donna LeSage and myself completed the course and became 4-H certified pistol instructors and Bryan Wynns and Jill Ruvidich completed the course to become 4-H certified rifle instructors. We hope to begin some air pistol and air rifle activities soon, and are working on some additional opportunities for youth.
We are still working through some program planning, safety, and risk management challenges, but hope to have a Wake 4-H Target Shooting Sports Club up and running soon!
If you are interested in participating in target shooting sports, becoming an instructor, or supporting the program, please call (919) 250-1093 or email heather.tart@co.wake.nc.us.
