Range Session: April 13th- 8:00am-12:00pm)- Rapid City Trap Club- 9200 South HWY 79

STUDENTS MUST ATTEND ALL 3 SESSIONS to receive their card- no charge- all materials and firearms provided

This free, classroom-style course allows students to participate in multiple in-person sessions; providing the student with knowledge and skills relative to hunting and hunter safety.

To be eligible for certification, students must:

  • be present and participate in all the required sessions.
  • attend all scheduled course meetings. No absences will be accepted.
  • pass a written test at the end of the course. Students are also evaluated on their skills and attitude throughout the course.
  • demonstrate what they have learned about firearms safety. Most courses include a live-fire exercise, under the close supervision of the instructors.

HuntSAFE courses are designed for persons age 12 through 15. Persons who are 11 may participate, but will not be issued a Hunter Safety certification card until their 12th birthday, unless the card is clearly marked that the card is not valid until the person’s 12th birthday. Adults are also welcome and invited to attend. Your HuntSAFE certification does not serve as bowhunter education certification.

Exception: If a student’s 12th birthday falls on or between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31, he/she may be issued a card and is eligible to obtain a license and hunt beginning Sept. 1 of that year.

Students who successfully complete a HuntSAFE course receive an identification card containing their name, date of certification, a certification number and the signature of the instructor.

Until the student is 16, a parent or guardian must present the HuntSAFE certification card to a license agent when purchasing the young person’s hunting license.

HuntSAFE Independent Study Course

The Independent Study HuntSAFE course is a blended learning course where a student completes their coursework online at their own pace and as their schedule allows. The student must sign up for an independent study field day prior to starting the independent study course. The course features English and Spanish voice narrations, realistic illustrations and students can study for free and pay only when they pass.

Once complete, they will participate in an in-person field day for about 4-6 hours. At the field day, the student will review the knowledge and skills they learned online and take a written HuntSAFE final exam.

After completing their online component the student will pay $17.99 to receive their field day qualifier voucher. The student will take this voucher to the Independent Study Field Day they sign up for.
