Gun powder needed for hunter education

HUNTING — Hunters education classes can use any gun powder that might be sitting unneeded in shops or basements of the region’s hunters and reloaders.

“We do a powder burning demonstration for our classes to demonstrate the different burn rates for rifle, shotgun, pistol and black powder,” said Paul Weekley, one of the certified instructors for the Inland Northwest Wildlife Council .

The powders keep forever, so if people have some they’re not using, these classes are a worthy cause.

Bring it to the Big Horn Show, which closes today at 5 p.m. at the Spokane Fair and Expo Center.

Or contact the council office, (509) 487-8552.
