These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 60 topics.
You're on the ammunition module of your online course and the quiz asks which part of the cartridge ignites the powder. You read it twenty minutes ago and you're already guessing.
That's not on you: the manual describes case, primer, powder and bullet in one paragraph, then adds rimfire and centerfire in the next. Four parts and two ignition systems, all in words, nothing to look at.
In this book the cartridge is one page. You see it cut in half: the case, the primer at the base, the powder inside, the bullet on top. Right next to it, rimfire and centerfire side by side, so you see where the firing pin strikes.
Every other topic works the same way: the 4 rules of firearm safety, zones of fire seen from above, the 3 points of contact on a tree stand, the vital zone inside the deer, whitetail vs mule deer.
You look at the page, you get it, and on the final exam you answer without going back to the manual.
Nine parts: Before You Start, Your Firearm, Ammunition, Safe Handling in the Field, Tree Stands, Muzzleloaders and Bows, Shot Placement, Wildlife ID and Conservation, Ethics and Laws, and Exam Review. 64 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
It's field day. The instructor hands you a shotgun, you're walking in line with two other students, and he's watching one thing: where your muzzle points.
In the book you open the muzzle control page and see it drawn for every situation: walking, sitting, in a vehicle, next to a partner, with the safe direction marked each time.
Same with zones of fire seen from above, the 6 carries, crossing a fence, the tree stand harness and the vital zone: each one on its own page.
Hunter Education Illustrated is 9 parts and 60 topics, all drawn, and it ends with a field day and final exam review: shoot-or-don't-shoot scenes, the most common mix-ups and a night-before checklist.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
Why hunter education exists, how your state course works, using your card in other states and how to use this book.
The 4 safety rules, action, stock and barrel, rifles, shotguns and handguns, rifling, gauge and the .410, chokes, the 5 actions and the safeties.
Inside a cartridge and a shotshell, matching ammo to your firearm, the 20-gauge in a 12-gauge trap, how far a projectile travels, obstructions and misfires: so the wrong shell never goes in the chamber.
Muzzle control, the 6 carries, carrying with partners, zones of fire, blaze orange, fences, loading and unloading, vehicles, storage and alcohol.
Hang-on, ladder and climbing stands, full-body harness and 3 points of contact, the haul line, muzzleloaders, bows and crossbows.
The vital zone, broadside and quartering shots, shooting positions and range estimation, what to do after the shot, the blood trail and field dressing.
Whitetail vs mule deer, elk, moose and pronghorn, turkeys, ducks, geese and upland birds, habitat, the North American Model and the federal laws.
Fair chase, landowners and trespass, licenses, tags and seasons, poaching, your hunting plan, the survival kit, S.T.O.P., hypothermia and hunting from a boat.
What the instructor watches on field day, 6 shoot-or-don't-shoot scenes, the most common mix-ups, the numbers to remember and a night-before checklist: everything you review the evening before, in one place.
At the end of the book: A field day and final exam review: 6 shoot-or-don't-shoot scenes, the most common mix-ups and the numbers to remember.
Practice with exam-style questions on every topic in the book, each answer explained with the page where it's drawn, so you know where you still hesitate before the real test.
The mix-ups that come up most often (zones of fire, actions, whitetail vs. mule deer, hen vs. drake) on one-page review cards you can print and go over the night before.
