Hunting Safety Videos. What goes in a good one?

[M.T. Pockets]

I'm a firearms safety instructor and we have a box set of DVD's from somewhere that we use each year.

One suggestion, keep them in topics that can be covered in about 15-20 minutes. That's about as long as you can keep kid's attention. It's also a good length to fit in your schedule when you're lecturing and have some time to fill.

Keep them simple, direct to the point and practical. I remember one that spent a half hour showing how to build water gathering pits in the desert. I simply told the kids "bring lots and lots of water if you go out in the desert and stay out of the sun".
