Invitation to a Challenge

You are invited to attend the Indiana Youth Hunter Education Challenge, sponsored by the Indiana YHEC Association. This event will provide a broad spectrum of outdoor skills challenges. IndYHEC’s goals are: to provide youth with a fun, positive experience that encourages future involvement in the shooting sports; to encourage safety, responsibility, and skill development in all areas of the outdoor/hunting experience; to promote public awareness of hunter education; and to publicize the positive aspects of hunters and their sport - hunting!

IndYHEC is an event where young people ages 11 to 19 can try their hands at field archery using McKenzie 3-D targets, light hunting rifles and muzzleloaders, sporting clays, orienteering with a compass, wildlife identification, and other hunter safety events. All events are set up to approximate and reflect situations one might encounter in the field while hunting. All state YHEC participants qualify to participate in the International YHEC event. Are YOU up to the Challenge?
