About the Course
The Internet + Field Course is ideal for those under 17 years of age and adults wanting a more hands-on field and live-fire experience during the basic course. We recommend younger students be accompanied by an adult during the field course. The certification process consists of two parts:
- Online Course: Complete the FREE TPWD on NRA online course option.
- Field Course: Attend a course with a TPWD certified instructor. The fee for the Field Course is $15.00. Some instructors may charge additional fees associated with a shooting range or other facility.
ONLINE COURSE: Free Online courses include TPWD and NRA. For TPWD, please print out the results of the FINAL QUIZ. For NRA, please print off the Field Course Voucher. Both allow you entry to an approved Field Course. Be sure to register for a known field course near you prior to taking the online course. Note: If you search a browser for an online course, you may get information about PAY-FOR courses which apply only to those 17 years of age or older.
FIELD COURSE: A Field Course is typically completed in about 4 hours (min.) a discussion of ethics, a skills course and live-fire exercises. You must pre-register for this course, preferably before you complete the free online course.
ARRIVAL: When you arrive at the Field Course:
- Pay the $15 fee to the instructor. Some instructors may charge additional fees for a shooting range or other facility.
- Demonstrate good knowledge, skills and attitude.
- Take the written exam and score at least 75% to pass.

This class offering has an additional $20 fee to cover the Austin Rifle Club charges for range, facilities and liability. Thus the total price is $35 per student.

We plan to have live fire exercises.
If so, firearms and ammo will be provided for use.
My Live fire is not a test of marksmanship or a requirement for the Basic course, Knowledge of safe firearm handling techniques is the course requirement.
This Live Fire exercise is intended to be fun and expose the shooter to multiple
types of shooting including: 22 rimfire for plinking and small game, 20 ga shotgun for field hunting and the 357 as a low end big game gun. Live fire starts with 22 long rifle rimfire. This is a very low / almost nil recoil. Shooting will be at range G ( a range specifically designed for hunter ed students / close range shooting. ) Thus it's lots of fun and a safe environment. The recoil / kick is minimal for even the 357. Shooting for fun is an option that the student shooter makes. Parents are encouraged to support whatever decision a youth hunter makes and to be an observer during live fire.
Minors not demonstrating competent gun handling experience will have restricted live fire opportunities
Minors under 9 years old will not shoot in the live fire exercise.
Shooters must be able to stand with their shoulders above the shooting table.
If the student demonstrates safe gun handling techniques and can put rounds on target, then they may get the option for the additional shooting / weapons / calibers
( I try to have water jugs available, they seem to be popular )
While on the range, the Range Master / Range Safety Officer has complete authority over shooting to promote & improve range safety. All activities on the range are subject to the Range Master approval.
Shooting is not required to pass the course.
At the time of class we will complete registration. You may pay in cash or be prepared to write a check.
I can not process credit cards.
