Price and Payment

How Much Does the Course Cost?

$29 + Some States may charge a small processing fee. For example the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department charges a $5.50 fee. So in Texas the course would cost $29 + $5.50 = $34.50. The state fee is waived for minors under 17 years old. Each State will vary and some States have no fee at all. When you purhcase the course for your state, you will see the final price including any state fee listed in your cart at checkout. To be fully transparent most State fees are only a few dollars with none that we know of exceeding $10. 

What type of payment do you take?

We accept all major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Diners' Club, JCB, and Signature Debit Cards.

If you are trying to use a debit card that does not have a credit funtion, then it most likely won't work as we don't have a way for you to input your pin number. If you've been able to use your debit card online in the past, that means its most likely whats called a signature debit card, which will work on our website. 

Can I pay for multiple people at once?

While we do not support group purcases for our Hunter Safety Education Class, you can pay for as many people as you would like by either signing them up individually or letting them sign up then have you help them at the billing step. If you prefer to pay by phone please don't hesistate to call us. 

Do you accept PayPal?

Unfortunately we DO NOT accept PayPal as paypal refuses to do business with any business that has anything to do with firearms. Even though this is a Hunter Safety Education Course.

What is the company name that will show on my billing statement for my bank or credit card?

Your billing statement will ONLY show "HunterSafetyUSA.com" for any charge related us. If it says something else, it is not a charge from us.
