here in Minnesota its included in gun safety.... We had this guy come in.... he was pretty old.... but he had shot over a hundred deer and lots of otherr species... he decribed what it was like to hunt each kind and also told us of experiences he hadd with tracking them... an example is.... he had a bad shot on a deer once and it ran for miles bleeding... he said he would tie a strip of suveyors tape to a limb every few hundred feet to yards depending on the thickness of the area...he explained that he never found the deer and the reason is the blood trial slowly slakened till it disappeared. He explained the types of bows and that here in mn crossbows are onlly legal for handycapped...he showed us how to put a string on a recurve bow also... thats all i can really think of i took the couse 6 years ago so i' ve kinda forgot a lot of bow stuff from that.
