if you havent seen or touched a firearm in your life take the course, but for some other folk they teach you nothing thats not in the manual? or a friend with a firearm couldnt show you in a home enviroment. it takes soooo long because the instructor lets everyone play with the firearms for a reasonable amount of time loading and un-loading fake ammo. i could have did all that at my fathers or brothers or friends house, and challenged the test, no live fire happend but in the 90's i did the hunter course(lost proof i took it thats why i had to do it again and MNR said they couldnt find proof in their records) and in the 90's we went to the range a fired live rounds from any firearm of choice be it shotgun or rifle or even muzzle load, but i suppose today its all simulation
course was
friday 5-10pm
sat 8-7pm
sun 8-7pm
cost 290 bucks
not worth the money or time, maybe if i was a video game kid with nothing else better to do i could sit there for the wk-end and my parents were paying ya i do the time, but iam married with kids and that was a long long day in a classroom setting with 15-20 people eating ,farting,burping!
all i was saying in the first post was if you think you can challenge the test and pass after reading the manual than GO FOR IT and put the cash in your pocket, but again some people need to drive a car with someone for awhile before they do the drivers test,some dont.
and sinker yes iam already drooling over moose rifles! is october here yet? whats taking soo long
