Question 1

What exactly is the Junior Hunter Gun?

Accepted Answer

A non-firing, youth-sized training device that builds three things before a young hunter's first live-fire shot: safe handling, proper form, and accurate aim. A barrel camera and on-gun screen give instant feedback, and a companion app tracks progress over time.

Question 2

Does my child need to own a real shotgun to use this?

Accepted Answer

No. The Junior Hunter Gun is its own device, no real firearm required. That's the whole point. It gives beginners a realistic, safe training experience before they ever handle live ammunition.

Question 3

Is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Completely. No live ammunition is ever involved. The device captures visual aim data and video. Nothing fires. It is specifically designed to be the safest possible introduction to firearm handling.

Question 4

When will it ship?

Accepted Answer

We estimate first units will ship in early 2027. This is a hardware product being built for the first time, so that date is an estimate, not a guarantee. If it moves, we will email every reservation holder with a revised date and you can either wait or cancel for a full refund. You can also cancel any time before your unit ships, for any reason.

Question 5

Can I cancel my reservation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, any time before your unit ships, for any reason. Email conner@fledgeoutdoors.com and we will refund you in full. There is no deadline and no condition attached.

Question 6

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

The Junior Hunter Gun is youth-sized and designed for beginner hunters, primarily ages 8 to 16, but appropriate for any first-time learner. It's used by parents, hunting instructors, 4-H shooting sports coaches, and Hunter's Ed programs.

Question 7

What happens if I don't receive my product by early 2027?

Accepted Answer

We will email you with a revised estimate and you can choose to wait or cancel for a full refund, no questions asked.

Question 8

Does it work with a companion app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The device pairs via Bluetooth to a companion mobile app where you can review shot history, session video, and training progress over time.
