GHAA Hunter Education Course

Safety, Knowledge, and Ethics — the Foundation of Every Hunter
The GHAA Hunter Education Course has been developed to provide all members with a solid foundation in what it means to be part of an ethical hunting club.
​
Through a series of practical, easy-to-follow lessons, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to represent GHAA and the broader hunting community safely and responsibly.
You’ll cover essential topics such as:
  • GHAA’s history, purpose, and Code of Conduct
  • Safe firearm handling and the Four Pillars of Safety

It is very easy to see the huge amount of effort that has gone into putting it together, and it has definitely left me with a passion to go out there and learn more and give it a go

I believe that each and every participant will have gained invaluable knowledge from the course, as I have, despite their experience. The firearms industry is one that is under constant scrutiny, and subject to negative media and political comment on a regular basis, it is only through organisations such as yours that enable and empower the end user in a positive way.

Would recommend this club and course to anyone with a genuine interest in hunting. Great value for money, thanks again.
