The national Youth Hunter Education Challenge (YHEC) is far more than meets the eye. At first glance, it may only seem like another shooting competition, but when observed in context, it showcases the wide array of firearm proficiency, skills and knowledge that the competition's young men and women have obtained over the course of months of practice in preparation for the event and—more importantly—the safety that we should all practice while afield.
