Today the course continues to stress firearm safety and has added instruction in the history of firearms, responsible and ethical hunting, wildlife management, game identification, survival, current game laws and other important topics related to hunting in Montana. Volunteer instructors educate more than 6,000 hunters each year in the state of Montana.
