"Students are required to attend all class sessions including all field day exercises.  The class is an interactive course with several "hand-on" experiences.  Students are expected to participate in all activities.  the final exam consists of a 40 question written test and also a "gun handling" assessment.  Both are given individually to each student on the last day of class.  There are also homework assignments, called chapter reviews

in the back of their manual, that the students must

complete.  Thereafter, our new graduates will become

our future safe hunters and shooters."

    The Southport Masters clubhouse provides

appropriate classroom and range facilities. 

Wisconsin-FORCE, the Wisconsin state firearms

association, has contributed funding for the purchase of eye

and ear protection as well as ammunition for student use.

    WDNR training is recognized in all 50 United States, Canada,
