LINCOLN, Neb. -- The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has scheduled a firearm hunter education class in Lincoln during September.

Nebraska state law requires anyone 12 years of age or older, born on or after January 1, 1977, to have successfully completed a state-certified firearm hunter education course prior to hunting with a firearm.

The class will be at National/Allied Insurance, 3401 Williamsburg on September 10 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on September 11 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. A shooting session at the Lincoln Trap and Skeet Club will be included in the September 11 class. Students must attend both classes to become certified. Preregistration is required.

Students must be 11 years of age to be certified by instructors. Those younger than 11 may attend, but will not be tested or certified. There is no maximum age limit for students and no charge for the course. Interested parents of youngsters taking the class are also encouraged to attend.

People who want to register for classes scheduled in Lancaster, Douglas or Sarpy counties may do so on the Commissions web site at www.outdoornebraska.org.  Go there, then click on NGPC Programs, then on Hunter Education, then on Available Classes, choose the class you want to attend and click on “Enroll in Class.”
