Bowhunter Education Instructor Training

[HunterFisher]

I am going to put together a bow hunter ed instructor team out of the Silver Arrow Bowmen club in Mt Vernon.  If all goes according to plan, we should finally have a class that people can actually drive to in less than an hour along the I-5 corridor in Skagit, Whatcom and Snohomish Counties.

If there are others out there that would like to get certified to teach this class, post up and I will see if Butch has room in his training class in March.  I would really like to have a couple more instructors to lighten the load of this course.  You must have already taken the course to be an instructor.  I don't know what other requirements there are, but being a HE instructor already, I think I have them covered.  Non-HE instructors may need to have the background check, etc.

Just a question. Are you going to use orange bows?

I think this is great! I need to take the class, and think its a great opportunity for all of us up here in the NW corner of the state.  I look forward to working with you on this!

Until they stop passing on traditional theory as fact I will never support the NBEF.

Mind expanding on this a bit?  In a PM is fine, too, since I may know your main sticking point with what we teach.

I'm lost, please explain.

I'm lost too, When I took it they didnt push anything that I would consider traditional theory, seemed like just a hunter ed course geared to archery. Thought the class was a great class and feel that more archery hunters should take it.

I'm with RADSAV on this one. I was A çhief hunter ED instructe, and have sat in on several BH ed classes. I've seen several thery based posistions turn into facts..and the purpose of the class is to inform, an to lay down a foundation to be built upon from actual archery experts.

Its interesting that you are taking it as if I attacked you personally. It is evedent that this is NOT the forum for such discussion..I do want you to know however I am and have been in discussion with the board of directors about this.
