Anytime education is involved, what would be the draw back to having more? In most cases, someone getting involved with archery is doing soat the hand of someone more experienced, but what about the cases where someone doesn't have that opportunity? I'd be interested to see a list of reasons why it's NOT a good idea. As far as comparing gymnastics and football and any other physical sport to bowhunting, those sports are all progressive in nature. You just cant walk on a team and be up to speed with people of greater ability than you, and if you could do that, the coach should be fired. Months, sometimes years of practice, EARNS you the right to be on that field or mat or whatever else competeing at whatever level you're at. That's why there's pee wees, little league, minors, etc. All that practice is the same as a hunters ed course in my eyes. JMO.
