I went to get the mail today and found my IBEP(International Bowhunting Education Program) sponsored through NBEF certification card . Through my regional archery association, the BCAA, I completed the course almost a month ago. It was a good course, a great refresher and I recommend it to anyone involved in bowhunting, especailly if you are new to the sport, Ted Kennedy was the instructor and he did a fine job.
The course covers everything from basic hunter education like; survival,clothing, and ethics all the way to technical bowhunting apsects such as arrow spine, shot placement, and broadhead selection. The practical aspect was fun and educational, we got to shoot 3D targets out of blinds and treestands, as well as learn how to set up blinds and treestands with safety in mind.
I originally took the course to make sure I was well versed and refreshed as the bowhunting world is always changing. I also wanted the course in case I decided to go on an Alaskan Brown Bear Hunt, as the IBEP course is mandatory.
