Safety Above All
Safe, responsible firearm handling is non-negotiable. Everything we teach is rooted in the principle that every firearm owner has a duty to themselves, their family, and their community.
Our Story
New England Hunters & Gatherers was born out of a simple belief: that everyone who owns a firearm deserves access to world-class safety education — delivered by instructors who actually live the outdoor life they teach.
Our founders grew up in the Australian bush. They learned to hunt from parents and grandparents, to respect the land, and to handle firearms with the reverence they deserve. When they saw a gap in quality, accessible firearms education in the region, they decided to fill it.
Today, the New England Firearms Safety Course has helped hundreds of students — from first-time owners to experienced hunters seeking formal certification — become safer, more confident, and more responsible.
What Drives Us
Safe, responsible firearm handling is non-negotiable. Everything we teach is rooted in the principle that every firearm owner has a duty to themselves, their family, and their community.
We believe knowledge is the most powerful tool a firearm owner can carry. Our courses are comprehensive, clear, and designed for real understanding — not just checkbox compliance.
Australia has a rich outdoor heritage. We're here to preserve it — by creating a welcoming community for hunters, gatherers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all experience levels.
We serve our neighbors. Small class sizes, local knowledge, and a genuine investment in each student's success set us apart from larger, impersonal programs.
