OK, for those of you that teach Bowhunters Education or those that can answer some of these I would like to hear from you.
Does your state have a bowhunting education course other that the NBEF one?
Does your bowhunting education courses (NBEF or other) get good support from the leadership above?
Do you know if your state helps fund these courses?
Do these classes cost the students to get enrolled?
Do you have a problem getting students for the classes?
If the classes you teach need impovements where do you think they need to be improved?
The bowhunting organization I belong to wants to put education as a priority. Answering these questions would help me in this discussion.
Im interested in the responses to these questions. You can post them here or send me a email.

Thank You

I am a former instructor here in MD (currently on the inactive list):
1. No
2. No - not a state requirement, but a requirement on the military bases within MD. BTW, "good" is a qualifier that is subject to personal interpretation...
3. Yes, in that they certify instructors and provide instructor material.
4. Cost is up to the team ($6/student max).
5. Classes were never crowded, see #2.
6. Hard to teach a rookie the basics in 10 to 13 hours, there should be an advanced hunter course...
