I for one aggree with the trend for BowHunter education requirements. I feel that it will weed out some of the ones we dont want out there anyway. I believe there is always something left to learn, and I was very impressed with the calibre of people who attended the class that I did. Would be happy to hunt with, or invite any of them to hunt with me. I used to teach Firearms Safety In Arizona. Knowing those kids had at least proper training gave me a very good feeling. Of 45-50 who graduated I only know of 1 who got into trouble. I have seen a post ending with something like, "Take a kid hunting and you won't be hunting for the kid".How True!! Anyway take a BowHunter class I bet you'll be glad you did. Just my $0.02
