Bowhunter Education

[WDFW-SUX]

There are a bunch of hunts in alaska that require a bow hunters ed card to get you tag.. no exceptions.

Bowhunter Education classes are required in many states and provences. Our Washington classes cover all the requirements for the World, in fact our washington teams are the best in the world as we have been asked to help set up many programs in other countrys including Alstralia!
You can get a replacement card for free but give us time to look up the reccords. Send me a PM.
Most the classes are taught during the spring and summer and once August gets here most of us are bowhunting or scouting somewhere! If you apply for an out of state tag you should plan on taking a class even before you find out if you drew or not because there may not be a class avaliable  when you get ready to go. EVERY year someone puts it off and can't get certified.
Haven't had a class on the S.E. side in a long time but I'm planning one down by Dayton in July. Classes in Deer park  are taught every year. The scheduals will come out in the WDFW pamplet in the spring or you can send me a PM in January when I get them.
I'm glad you enjoyed the classes , thoese of you who have, There's always need for more instructors!

Sounds cool. What all does the class cover? How much does it cost?

[WonkyWapiti]

The class was two days and only cost $13.00.  The class covered bow hunting safety, shot placement, animal tracking, post shot tracking, and a bunch of other cool stuff.

I'm a trained IBEP/NBEF bowhunter education instructor and used to teach classes.  When my teaching partner left the country on assignment with the military and I had my first daughter, I just naturally stopped teaching.  I miss it and would like to get back into it.  I had very interactive classes, and we focused heavily on eithics, shot placement, anatomy and physiology, equipment, blood trailing, survival, first aid, treestand use and safety, among many other topics.  I am certified by the ODFW and WDFW as well.

And I'm more than willing to informally share/teach anyone interested about these or any other topic.  Just PM me and I'll be glad to help!!

I have also done a lot of shooting coaching, specifically focused on overcoming target panic.  I also co-operated a bowhunting school/clinic in Colorado with my hunting partner, who at the time was the Technical Editor at Bowhunter Magazine.  We focused more on hunting aspects and specie specific tactics.
