IA Born Report post Posted September 26 We are hosting an in-person classroom Hunter Ed class in Flagstaff Nov 21-24. It is open for public registration and has 5/30 seats filled. Class schedule is below. Classroom portions will be at the Flagstaff AGFD office and the field day will be at the NAZ Shooting Range. 100% attendance for all portions is mandatory. NAZ NWTF and the local AMDO group will be providing pizza lunch on Saturday, Nov 23. All firearms and ammunition will be provided. Preference is for kids who need the class to hunt; however, we encourage parents to take the class with their younger kids. As of this afternoon, there are 25 seats left. Thursday, November 21, 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm Friday, November 22, 2024 6:00pm - 8:00pm Saturday, November 23, 2024 8:00am - 5:00pm Sunday, November 24, 2024 8:00am - 12:00pm Full transparency as I've posted previously on this: we set the class schedule up based on local instructor availability and local (Flagstaff, Williams, Parks, Bellmont, etc.) kids' availability. We've found that drawing a class out 2 hours at a time over 3 weeks gets old and information retention is not great, leading to lower success/passing rates. Saturday can be a long day, but we break it up by rotating stations with the AGFD conference room split with a divider and rotate between each side, plus the lobby so kids aren't sitting in the same seat all day. Throw in plenty of breaks, an hour lunch with a test review, and plenty of jokes, and the day flies by. The kids get plenty of time and opportunities to blow off steam and pent-up silliness and wiggles. On top of that, we rarely, if ever, go until 5 pm. We will not be accepting online students into the field day for this class. We do not have enough instructors to maintain the required instructor:student ratio and keep everyone safe. Our Flagstaff instructor group will be hosting several online field days this coming spring-fall 2025 for those students who took the online course and need a field day. https://www.register-ed.com/events/view/217571 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct. There is now the option to complete the entire course, including the field day online. There is one online option that is like the current online class with a field day at the end ($25?) and one that is class/field day combined into a very interactive setting ($49?). We're continuing with classroom options because there is still a demand. So there are now three options: 1) completely online, 2) classroom class w/field day, and 3) hybrid online class w/field day. The last two are what have been in place for several years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted October 28 2 seats left. And, because I've had a couple more inquiries, this is a classroom class Thurs-Sun with 100% attendance mandatory for all sessions. We can't take online students who need the field day because of the number of instructors/student we have to maintain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
