We Support Hunter Safety and Education

Hunter Safety and Education

While we all like to have fun hunting upland game birds, safe gun handling and field activities are critical. Through classes and education sessions, we teach the proper ways to hold, maneuver and care for shotguns, getting those who are not familiar with a shotgun comfortable and confident in handling their firearm so that they can enjoy their hunts safely and successfully. New hunters are also instructed in safe and proper behaviors in the field. Classes are scheduled every summer to prepare you for the fall/winter season.

Become a Ringneck!

What exactly are they?

Ringnecks is the term used to describe youth members of Pheasants Forever. Ringnecks are youth who enjoy outdoor activities such as hunting, shooting sports, archery, photography, fishing, and gun dog handling; and who believe that they can make a difference in habitat conservation through educating other youth.

In addition, Ringneck members of Pheasants Forever serve as role models in their communities by promoting leadership, helping other youth to establish a connection with nature, and educating their friends and families about the importance of habitat conservation.

If I become a Ringnecks member, what do I get to do?

The Pheasants Forever Ringnecks Program is dedicated to introducing youth to hunting, shooting sports and other outdoor activities as described above.
