🐮🐮🐮 Don't Forget to Join The Herd by Signing Up for 1 or More Ag Classes Next Year!! 🐮🐮🐮
One of the largest contest areas that we host is the Hunter Safety CDE, in which we sponsor two teams at both Bandys High School (must be an FFA member) and at Mill Creek Middle School. Students compete in archery, rifle, skeet and hunter skills (which includes a written test and an orienteering component). Due to the size and scope of this contest area, the team is supervised by {NRA} Certified Range Safety Officers and Volunteer Hunter Education Instructors that are members of Bandys FFA Alumni.
