Outdoor News Offers Free Subscriptions to Youth who Complete Minnesota DNR Firearms Safety Certification
(Plymouth, MN) – Outdoor News Inc., publisher of locally written fishing and hunting outdoor newspapers in seven Great Lake states, is offering youth ages 11 to 17 who have successfully completed the firearms safety certification program through the Minnesota DNR in 2016 with a complimentary three-month subscription to Minnesota Outdoor News.
"When it comes to being true to our hunting heritage, Outdoor News is an authentic voice for what matters to hunters in the great state of Minnesota. By providing an opportunity for youth to receive their own subscription to Outdoor News, we are committed to reinforcing the hunting heritage and building upon the foundation of growing interest for the shooting sports by these young sporting enthusiasts." said Rob Drieslein, president of Outdoor News.
The MN DNR firearm safety class consists of classroom and field experience in the safe handling of firearms and hunter responsibility. The field experience allows students to learn and demonstrate commonly accepted principles of safety in hunting and the handling of firearms. Youth ages 11 to 17 can complete the online course at HunterCourse.com, and still be eligible to enjoy the newspaper subscription offer, although the MN DNR recommends that parents register their child for a sanctioned Field Day before the youth completes the online course.

The "junior subscription" offer is available for youth who have completed their safety certification program in 2016. A downloadable form and additional details on the program can be found online at http://www.outdoornews.com/Jr_Sub_2016.pdf
