The cost of our program is just $15.00 per student, inclusive of all materials and ammunition.
Enrollment is limited and space for this class is in high demand. Students are expected to attend all scheduled sessions. Absence from the first session, more than one session, or field day for any reason constitutes an incomplete course, sorry.
If you cannot make all classes and field day, please sign up for a different course.
Eligibility and Enrollment
To take this class, you must be 11 years of age or older on Monday, April 13 2009. Sorry, no exceptions. The DNR will not issue you a certificate if your 11th birthday is after this date. The first night of class a parent or LEGAL guardian is
required to sign a release authorizing the Post 435 Gun Club Instructors to allow minors to handle and fire guns. Without this authorization, a minor cannot be allowed in class and will be dropped! Also, if you have a MN Driver's License and you are registering for this class, you must present it on the first night of class. If the student who is registering does NOT possess a Driver's License, then an ORIGINAL birth certificate must be presented on the first night of class.
Enrollment begins March 14 2009 and concludes when the class is full, usually in about ten days from the opening of registration. Enrollment is by e-mail only and all registrations are first-come, first-served. Payment must be made by check or money order at the time your registration is accepted and all class registrations are non-refundable for any reason.
