Default RE: For or Against Mandatory Bowhunter Education

I would like to see a shooting proficiency test as well as an education course. Treestand safety should be in there somewhere too. Not sure how the sports referenced have any bearing on this discussion, haven't been able to find the relationship yet, but i'll keep trying. Far as I know, there are no coaches involved with hunting, whereas in sports, you are constantly monitored by coaches telling how to do it properly, whether that be football or any other sport. So, there kind of is a safety course for sports, just not as obvious as a classroom setting.
