All the firearms course gives you is a primary dose of critical firearms safety. Use it, live it, and be safe.
However, there is not much on how to shoot a firearm (shotgun, rifle or pistol) properly (for me that means consistent accuracy), and in a large class, there is nowhere near enough handling of firearms.
To go hunting, I believe you also need to complete the Hunter Education Program.
I would recommend:
- read the Firearms Course book and know it well.
- Contact a range near you and see if someone is willing to mentor you.
- Get all the handling in that you can prior to the course.
- Take the course
- Consider mentored hunts initially to get your feet wet.
