    Probably just need a practical course added to the FAL process, maybe at a range.... just like a drivers license. the current MSC test is a joke.
    Also a good idea for renewals as it seems a lot of old timers a stuffing up too...... Wouldn't be such a hardship to go through, might even be fun day at the range?

    That wouldn't make much difference as most hunting fatalities are not from poor firearms handling. They are from hunters expecting to see a deer, so when they see something that is like a deer they believe it is a deer and shoot it.

    I guess my thinking is that with some exposure to what can go wrong/right, through drill and practise, it might give people some tools to deal with hunting situations..... rather then taking snap shots etc. We're currently proving we're unable to do it right...... every year

    This is bad stuff, thoughts to all involved.
