Against the progressive decline of hunters, Hunting Federation try in its small way to reverse the trend and attract young enthusiasts: this year, the hunting qualification course will be free. One way to meet who would like to start hunting but do not yet have the financial means to do so. The decision came, unanimously, on January 14th during the board of directors of the Federcaccia from Piacenza - chaired by Luigi Salice - where it was decided to proceed with the unusual resolution.
The course has not yet been set but in the meantime Federcaccia has already decided to discount the registration fee: who will participate in the next training course of qualification will have to pay only the compulsory revenue stamps for the endorsement of the documents and the didactic material. The qualification course, which serves a apply for the firearms license for the rifle, consists of a public examination in the seat of the Province before a regional commission.
First, you need a course with lessons on various topics; from hunting legislation to zoology (with practical tests to recognize huntable species); from the knowledge of weapons and ammunition (and the laws that regulate their use) to the protection of nature and of agricultural production, up to the rules of first aid in the event of an accident (Liberta.it).
