Since '97. I've been with a few different groups of instructors. I enjoy it. I seem to learn something every year myself, from my fellow instructors and the students.

For a long, long time.
IBEP is not required in Alabama, so makes it tough to get up enough for a course.
I have three scheduled to this season, only 4 signed up so far.  The only time anyone worries about it is when they have to have it to go out to a state that requires it.
Right now we're doing the on line version, so far its working good.  We still do the traditional style course when enough want it.  The on line saves my instructors time and money.  We're all vol. so there no funding.  Bowhunters of Alabama, Inc. foot the bill for materials, and we travel on our own!

I taught IBEP for ten years as a master instructor, really enjoyed it, but the classes kept getting smaller so I passed my class teaching on. really liked the hands on back in the 90"s.   :cool:

I taught it for 18 years in MT as well, Levi.  I finally let go of it a couple years ago.   One of the most satisfying ways I ever "gave back", and thoroughly enjoyed the experiences.  Keep up the good work all.

I've been a NYS Certified Bowhunter Instructor 20 yrs. Never regretted becoming one, its great to share knowledge with both the young and old who attend our classes. In fact, I have a refresher course next month...

It is a serious consideration for me right now.  We have a local NRA range that is willing to do archery classes and start a range.  A board members son and I are exploring our options.  Right now I can't support the NRA's stand on crossbows in my state.  What to do, what to do?

I coach all 3 venues for 4H, compound barebow, compound hunter, and recurve barebow, help them all but focus more on the recurves. I also taught the complete hunter saftey  course here in KY for several years, 2 evenings videos and test, one morning final test and skill out in rifle, shotgun,  muzzleloader and archery. I like it and still enjoy the coaching, especially seeing the kids learn how to shoot and hit insticntively.
