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

Exactly what I was thinking. Most every time I've had this happen, it was a scope issue. Sometimes, scopes get dinged in transport or its a "Monday morning/Friday afternoon" product. I'm guessing NF will honor it and repair it. Good luck.

My pleasure. Here is all the information: https://www.azgfd.com/education/hunter-education-2/hunter-education-classes/

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.

When do you need it, Casey? We have a couple up here in Flagstaff and I'm happy to loan you one. Might be able to send one back with my daughter next weekend when she comes up for an ultimate frisbee tournament. PM me so I know what you're thinking and actually see the message.

My buddy and his girlfriend are supposed to come up to Flagstaff for dinner soon, so I'll get the full lowdown and make sure they know how popular Flatline is. I do what I can on here and hope someone finds something useful. Next time I'm in the valley and near you, I'll stop in. Good luck to you, too!

I wouldn't lie to you about that stuff! I sat in the youth turkey camp this spring with one of the owners and got the whole scoop. And then I bugged them about getting maps going for my other favorite unit! Glad you finally heard back. I hadn't had a chance to reach out yet because my buddy, who is dating one of the owners, is on an elk hunt.

I know one of them and was told their printer was damaged this winter. They were on a temporary shutdown at one point while trying to get a new printer and get it up and running. I should cross paths with them soon and can find out more.
