Hunter-Bowhunter Education
Monadnock Rod
& Gun Club is proud to have a well-staffed Hunter-Bowhunter
Education Team. All Members of our team are certified instructors
through the New Hampshire Fish & Game Deptartment, and teach the
state-run program multiple times annually. During the year
classes are held before each season for Hunter-Bowhunter Education. And
as of 2014, MRGCI has been teaching the combined Hunter Ed (firearms)
and Bowhunter Ed (archery) course, which will be the only course (which
can be completed via the Field Day option at other locations) offered
by NHF&G after January 1, 2015.
There is always something to learn about tree stand safety, firearm and bow 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/Bowhunter Education
The
Hunter-Bowhunter 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.
You may email him, just click on his name: Tom Harvey
.
Classes are $5.00 and include a materials packet and a successful completion patch for you to keep.
Our
team is formed of enthusiastic and experienced Club Members and
associates. It includes Members of past teams, and several hunters and
teachers trained and certified in several related fields from First Aid
to Firearms and Bow training, including New Hampshire State Certified
Guides and trappers. Tom Harvey was voted in as Chief in May of 2011.
The
team consists of: Chief - Tom Harvey, Martin Bowen, Ken Caisse, Mark
Carbone, George Streicher, Butch Taylor, and Chris Tremblay.
Two
3-Day Traditional Hunter/Bowhunter Ed Courses have been scheduled for
the 2019 season. No Field Days are scheduled and none are planned thus
far. Please check the NH Fish
& Game website
for registration opportunities. Please be aware that as of January of
2015, NHF&G has now combined the Traditional Hunter Ed (firearms
training oriented) Course and Bow Ed (bow hunter training oriented)
into a single course. There is no longer an option to take the
Bowhunter Ed course separately. So, participating in any of the classes
listed below will cover both classes required for New Hampshire
licensing for both the regular firearms hunting license and an archery
hunting license upon successful completion. And as a note, if you have
already participated in a Hunter Ed course and are in need of the
Bowhunter Ed course (or vice versa) to attain your license, then you
must take the combined course, it is your only option.

Bowhunter Education
There
is no longer a separate Bowhunter Ed class. As of January 2015, the
only available option is the combined Hunter-Bowhunter Ed class which
is run in the 3-Day Traditional format, or the single Field Day format
which includes a large online contingent.
