One thing I remember most: Not only was considerable time spent telling us how to safely cross a fence (action open, gun laid on the ground, pointed in a safe direction along the fenceline, etc.), but we each had to demonstrate the process (a fence was never very far away in the country where we lived).
Clearly it wasn't just to show us how to cross a fence; we learned the kind of effort it takes to stay safe with a firearm.
You and I must have taken the same class.
