Youth Hunting Education Challenge

Our Goal
NRA's Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC) provides a fun environment for kids 18 and under to improve their hunting, marksmanship and safety skills.
Through its simulated hunting situations, live fire exercises (bow, rifle, shotgun and muzzleloader), educational (orienteering and animal identification) and responsibility (hunter’s safety) events, YHEC helps build upon skills learned in basic hunter education courses and encourages safer, lifelong hunting habits.

Firearms and Archery

Animal Identification

Hunters Safety
From basic first aide to real life simulated shoot and no shoot situations, learn everything you need to keep you safe while enjoying the hunting sports.
