What is the live fire exercise like in hunter's safety course?
This weekend, I will be doing a hunter's education course with my girlfriend. I have extensive experience with firearms, but I have never hunted- So I am not personally worried about passing the live fire exercise.
But my girlfriend has very little experience shooting. We've been shooting together twice, both times we just shot our shotguns and she shot maybe 100 rounds on my scoped 10/22 and scoped mosin.
So I was just curious how difficult the live fire exercise is and what it consists of- Could a girl without any experience shooting rifles with open sights easily pass? I will try to take her shooting this week to get her some practice with my open-sighted .22, but im still a bit afraid that she won't perform well. Thanks!
She is very, very safety conscious. But again, she doesn't have any experience with lining up iron sights- To clarify the question: Is hitting a certain target necessary to pass the course? If so, how large (approximately) is this target and at what distance?
I live in Colorado, live fire is a part of every hunter's ed class I could find. I guess it would definitely make sense that it's just practice. I dont know why i had the idea that it was a part of the test.

In the state that I live in, it is not scored, just for the experience.

It's just target shooting and firearms safety. Work with her on the safety part before you go. Start with this: http://training.nra.org/nra-gun-safety-rules.aspx
