Len in Maryland, yes it is a IBEF Certified course. I don't plan on going over this list with them in class, line by line, I agree that would take way to much time. I will give it to them towards the end of the class, and tell them this is simply a list of advice from other archery hunters that have been already bow hunting and have expreience. Some a long long time and other are fairly new too. I will let them know if they have any question about any advice on the list (or any other question about anything in the class that did get answered for that matter) that they can call me at home and I will do my best to help them and find a correct answer to their question. Len, I get the feeling that you disagree with what I am doing with this list? There is a saying that wise people learn from their expreience, but super wise people learn from others expreience! Thats the purpose of this list, to help them learn from others. Yes some advice will have been already covered in the class, but as you know with bowhunting thier is way too much info out there about our sport to learn in a 12 hour class. Len I don't know if you are an IBEF, instructor or not? I do know you own your own pro shop but I don't know if you or someone else teachers the class. Either way I would welcome any advice or know how that you have to offer. Please feel free to PM me and let me know your thoughts. Thanks Jason
