The following events will take place:
.22 Long Rifle
This event will consist of six stations where five shots will be taken at each station (for a total of 30 shots). Shots will range from 0-75 yards. Each station may use a different shooting position (standing, kneeling, sitting and prone). Stations may use props or shooting scenarios (standing using a post, tripods, shooting from a ground blind, prone using a log, etc.). Targets will be standard rimfire silhouette targets (chicken, turkey, pig and ram).
Shotgun
This will be a sporting clays-style competition. Expect clay targets to be thrown from all directions. Most targets will be true doubles but some report pairs (second bird is launched at the sound of the first shot) may be thrown. A total of 30 shots will be taken. The best practice for this would be 5-stand or a walk-through sporting clays course.
Muzzleloader
The muzzleloader event will consist of 10-12 shots. You will shoot at metal silhouette or knockdown style targets. Shot distances will range between 0-75 yards. Each station may use a different shooting position (standing, kneeling, sitting and prone). Stations may use props or shooting scenarios (standing using a post, tripods, shooting from a ground blind, prone using a log, etc.). There will be a possibility for a written exam.
Archery
The archery event will be a walk through a 3D-style course. Targets will range from 0-40 yards. A total of 30 shots will be scored. Scoring will use the traditional 3D rings and will be scored 10-8-5. Targets will be standard Delta or Reinhart targets. Rangefinders are not allowed.
Written Exam
The written exam will consist of 60 questions. All questions will be taken from 
Utah Hunter Education Student Manual and Utah Hunting Guidebooks
.
 The questions will go over everything from ethics to information on wildlife species. This will not be an open book test so be sure to study.

The safety trail is designed to test the young hunter’s ability to make safe and ethical decisions. It will go over basic safety scenarios and have you react to each of them. You will find anything from crossing a fence or ditch properly to encountering animals in the wild. You may even be tested on judging an animal's distance in yards.
Orienteering
Orienteering is the ability to use a map and compass. You will be tested on how well you can use a compass to find waypoints along with how well you read a map to find different landmarks. Traditional and modern technology methods will be used.
Wildlife Identification
Wildlife identification is the ability to identify the game animals of North America. You could encounter all sorts of things from scat and tracks to a small piece of fur, skulls or bones. The best way to study is to study

聖殿廣場

歷史建築

小思文

聖殿廣場也是一個鹽湖城很有特點地方，廣場上可以看到一些蠻有意思的設計風格，整個聖殿廣場都是一座巨大的值得参觀的好地方，廣場的四周圍繞了很多的當地的社區綜合體。

猶他州議會大廈

猶他州議會大廈也是一個很值得参觀的去處，議會大廈蠻大的規格，也是猶他州的州政府最重要的行政所在，大廈內的很多的設計都是比較有意思的，可以申請参觀這裏，就是較難。

“就是這裡”遺址公園

love is blue

這是我們在到達鹽湖城的第一站。我們有在這一帶住了很多年的朋友。這裡是第一批摩門教徒定居者到達的地方。有很多描述這段歷史的紀念碑，也有帶這段歷史的小電影的遊客中心。

鹽湖城大禮拜堂

大禮拜堂也是一座很巨大的聚會的場地，在魔門教聖殿的附近，這裏的禮拜堂也是美國當地人很喜歡聚會的場所，禮拜堂內部的裝飾和作為都是很有特點的，很喜歡這裏的一些風格。
