 Due to COVID restrictions, there are not many current PA Hunter Education classes. Those that are having classes are restricted to a smaller class size, so even if you find one, it may be hard to register. Depending on how regulations evolve, we may or may not have one at the PSC Main Hall.

AR-15 Training and Challenge 8:00 am to 11:00 am Rifle Range - public invited $10.00 per shooter $5.00 per re-shoot ECI, safety glasses and hearing protection required Due to current ammo situation, the round count will be low. There will be ammo available for sale. Optics and shooting mat are optional. Stage 1: Zero your sights - 10 to 20 rounds Stage 2: Qualification - 10 to 40 rounds (optional) Stage 3: Steel Change - 3 to 6 rounds (optional) Stage 4: National Match - 15 to 30 rounds (optional) Due to COVID restrictions imposed on events and gatherings in Pennsylvania, the Paris Sportsman's Club will not be conducting a Pennsylvania Hunter-Trapper Education course in the fall of 2020. We believe that the mandates limiting the class size, the logistics of social distancing in the hall, the inability to provide snacks, the responsibility of verifying that no one in the class has been exposed to any situation that warrants a 14 day quarantine, and not allowing parents/guardians to accompany attendees (unless they also register for the class, thus limiting the amount of attendees who need to take the class), will make it difficult to conduct a class this year. Also, each student will only be allowed to bring into the classroom a jacket, keys, phone and wallet or purse, so notebooks or other written materials are not permitted.

The is a $19.95 fee for the online course. https://www.hunter-ed.com/pennsylvania/  Concealed Carry and Home Defense Class at PSC This class scheduled for September 19, 2020 is full If there is enough interest, a smaller one can be scheduled for Sunday - September 20 Did you know that if you just discharge your weapon into the air to scare an individual, you can be charged with attempted murder?
