Regarding gunners and bird people firing poppers. The regs say
“Only 20 gauge to 12 gauge shotguns should be used. Gunners firing live ammunition
must be 21 years of age or older. Gunners firing popper loads must be a minimum of 16 years
of age and if less than 21, must have successfully completed a Hunter/Gun Safety course.”
Now I will state outright I have not looked at the rule book any further than the above. My question is, does the rule book define what a hunter/gun safety course is or who must teach and/or certify them? Can a club run gun handling seminar be considered a gun safety course and meet this requirement? Does it have to be a state run hunters safety course? What about an NRA or similar safety course, would that meet the requirement.
