Thread: Was a bit of a worry how many failed the test...

The little group of people I did my test with in Dunedin were pretty bright, no fails but a couple of people (including myself) got one question wrong. It was something I don't remember being in the firearms code booklet.

I think it would be nice if everyone getting their license had to attend a practical hands-on firearms safety lesson. Those getting a first aid certification have to do practicals, not just multi choice exams, so I don't see why the same can't be applied to firearms licensing.

Honestly when i got my license I still felt ill-prepared since I had never handled firearms before, no one I knew was a hunter, and my only real experience was from reading and watching. I only felt more confident after doing the hunts course with NZDA and going out a couple of times with NZDA members.
