Hunter Safety Training

The ARPC offers Hunter Safety Training in conjunction with its Junior Program.  The ten-week class is accredited by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and is held on Saturday mornings in the spring and fall.  The class is open to the public, and although the training is geared towards junior shooters, parents are encouraged to participate with their children.  Participants that complete the course and pass the final exam will receive a license from the TPWD. 

 

Registration for the Junior Program and Hunter Safety training takes place from 9:00 to 11:00 AM on the first Saturday after New Years Day and the first Saturday after Labor Day.  Check the calendar for exact dates.  

 

 

Ladies Basic Pistol Class

Intended for those who have little or no knowledge of firearms, the Ladies Basic Pistol Class is an eight week introductory course of instruction in firearm safety, the types of handguns and how they work, and basic pistol marksmanship; .22 long rifle pistols and ammunition are provided.  It is not a class in defensive handgun tactics or concealed carry.  Class time is split evenly between the classroom and the range.  As the name implies, this class is for ladies only: husbands, boyfriends, or other male friends of the participants are not allowed in the classroom or on the range while instruction is being given.

 

 

The class starts immediately after Labor Day; check the calendar for exact dates.  For additional information, contact the Ladies Basic Pistol Class Instructor listed on the Contact Information web page.
