The International Hunter Education Association (IHEA-USA) now offers low-cost online Firearm Fundamentals courses for gun owners. The new IHEA-USA online training program provides separate online courses for Rifles, Shotguns, and Handguns, each priced at $12.00:

Rifle Fundamentals | Shotgun Fundamentals | Handgun Fundamentals

These programs were developed by the IHEA-USA to meet the nationally growing demand for accessible firearms safety education. These courses were crafted with input from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, state hunter education staff, volunteer hunter education instructors, and professional hunters.

IHEA-USA Firearm Fundamentals include modules on firearms safety best practices, responsibilities as a firearms owner, safety in the home, storing and transporting firearms, specific information on safe handling of types of firearms, ammunition, locks and safes, range safety and etiquette, firearms care and cleaning as well as introductions to using firearms for hunting and sport shooting. The course also teaches new firearms owners about Pittman Robertson funding and how their purchases contribute to wildlife management in America.

“It made perfect sense for us to address general firearms safety for the thirteen million new firearms owners coming into the marketplace over the last two years … we believe that all new firearms owners can benefit from these introductory training modules”, states IHEA-USA Executive Director Alex Baer.

The Firearm Fundamentals course also offers all participating states the opportunity to introduce new firearms owners to hunting, local ranges, sport-shooting, and other firearms-related activities in their states upon completion of the course.
