One hundred fifty six people received their certification cards after attending courses that took from ten to fourteen hours of instruction time per course. This was done with the use of club facilities over a 16 day period and the dedicated work of those volunteer instructors who gave freely of their time when the need arose. Materials, such as inert firearms, ammunition, targets, hunter education manuals, hunting rules and regulations booklets and certificates and other materials are supplied for the student’s use at no charge. In fact there is no fee for the whole course. DEC also supplies instructors with Power Point equipment if they need it. For the actual live fire sessions that we do, DEC supplies some firearms while instructors supply some of their own. At some of the courses Environmental Conservation Officers come in and explain what it is that they do and answer any questions that students may have. They are always well received by the students.

Other instructors that assisted in these courses were Bill Bednarowski, Charles Beers, Pat Chaisson, Ted Helveston, Norm Perazzo, John Van Etten, Joe Viva, Steve and Sue Mackey and Rob Mergen. Not all of these instructors are club members but they appreciate the group of instructors at the club and want to pass on safe hunting skills in New York State. Even with this large group of instructors there is room for more to join the group. We could really use a couple of bow hunters to pass on their knowledge and become new instructors. Interested in becoming an instructor, go to http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/9189.html or call 1-888-HUNT-ED2 or contact any of those named above. For upcoming courses watch the club newsletter or go to DEC’s website http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/7860.html and follow the links. Here at the club we try to do a spring course for turkey hunters, at least one bow course and another two or more firearms courses. Submitted by Jan E.

Price: $125 - Ray Gawlas: 372-2357 Shooting sports safer than ever Mike Raykovicz Blog December 21, 2014 Despite what many people think, hunting and firearms-related sports like trap, skeet and pistol shooting are safe and getting safer. According to information released by the National Safety Council, unintentional firearms fatalities are becoming fewer every year. A recent report published by the NSC states, in the last two decades, the number of unintentional firearms-related fatalities has declined by 57 percent. The report also notes that firearms are involved in fewer than one-half percent of all unintentional fatalities in the United States. In a side-by-side comparison, firearms rank among the lowest causes of injury. Firearms are involved in fewer than 1.8 percent of unintentional fatalities among children 14 years of age and under and are among the least likely causes of an unintentional fatality for children in that age group. Firearms safety experts attribute this dramatic decline to mandatory firearms safety education programs, along with educational efforts by groups such as the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the National Rifle Association, in addition to state-affiliated hunter education programs. Industry-related initiatives include educational programs such as the National Shooting Sports Foundation's Project ChildSafe, the inclusion of free firearm-locking devices voluntarily supplied by firearms manufacturers with all new firearms purchases, and technological advances in firearm designs and manufacturing processes. It’s a sobering fact that a person is 58 times more likely to be seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident than they are with a firearm. Not only that, statistics show the rate of unintentional firearm fatalities is substantially lower than the rate of motor vehicle fatalities. Around the home, poisoning, falls, fire and smoke along with choking incidents cause 85 percent of all home deaths. Only 0.6 of 1 percent of home fatalities are caused by firearms. So, the next time you hear someone say, “guns are dangerous,” be sure to inform them of the findings in the report of the National Safety Council. It’s hard to refute the facts. It should be noted however, while injuries involving firearms are on the decline, injuries related to falls from treestands are not. Each year I hear about or read reports of someone being killed or seriously injured while attempting to build or install a treestand. To my knowledge, neither the New York Department of Environmental Conservation nor the Pennsylvania Game Commission keep a record of the number of people hurt in such accidents, and I feel they should because the numbers are significant. I still know hunters who climb trees and hunt from treestands without wearing a safety harness attached to a safety line.The biggest danger to hunters during big game season is not in getting shot, but suffering injury or death from a fall from a tree. Cold, wet, snowy conditions can cause ice to build up on the treestand platforms and this greatly increases the possibility of a fall. These falls are entirely preventable providing a hunter takes the proper precautions. I’ve heard hunters say, “safety vests are expensive,” and I have to ask them “what’s a broken back worth?” 11 SKEET FIELD TRAPS Authorized & Trained People With Keys Glen L.
