Hunter Education & Bowhunter EducationMonadnock Rod & Gun Club is proud to have both a Hunter Education Team, as well as a Bowhunter Education Team. Both teams are certified teachers through the New Hampshire Fish & Game Dept, and teach the state programs. During the year classes are held before each season for both Hunter and Bowhunter Education. There is always something to learn about firearm safety, game management, survival techniques and compass use... no matter your age or experience. Our classroom demographics range from young children to adults in their late 70's! Hunter EducationThe Hunter Education Team schedules classes
just before spring turkey season and before the fall rifle season. This
allows new sportspeople just taking the classes a chance to practice what they
learned while it is still fresh in the mind. The following is the schedule
of the two seasonal classes. Please contact the Chief Instructor Tom Harvey if you have questions.
Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. You must register online through New Hampshire Fish & Game's Hunter Ed. Or contact Tom, and he can help you to register.
