Thirteen students, including one adult, successfully completed a two-day hunter safety certification course in Healy this weekend.

Thanks to volunteer instructors Wayne Valcq and Brett Baysinger, of Clear Sky Sportsman Club, the class was offered locally and quickly filled during the sign-up period.

The class was limited to 16 people. Three students dropped out. Of the remaining students, seven scored a 100 percent on the test, impressing the instructors and the Alaska State Fish and Game mentor who attended Saturday's session.

The class was so popular, a second session will be offered soon, according to Valcq. 

The class offered a combination of classwork and field work.
