A Crossbow Education Instructor training session was recently held in Kingsville, MO, to prepare Camp Valor Outdoor instructors to teach Crossbow Safety to military veteran participants. CVO hosts a variety of shooting sports and outdoor activities for veterans.
The eight training session attendees were certified as International Crossbow Education Program Instructors and had received their ICEP certification online prior to the session utilizing crossbow-ed.com.

Growing awareness of crossbow skills and safety is part of our mission,” explained NBEF Executive Director Marilyn Bentz. “Barb Terry, the Training and Education Coordinator for TenPoint Crossbows, as well as NBEF Board member, served as the guest presenter.

About Camp Valor Outdoors
Camp Valor Outdoors is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to our military veterans. We recognize and honor ill, injured, and wounded disabled veterans and their families through adaptive and competitive activities such as guided fishing, hunting, shooting, archery, 4-wheeling, or just simply relaxing around the campfire. All branches of the military services, from any generation, are welcome (to include active duty case by case). We understand the hurdles that veterans and their families face after military service, particularly with injuries and illnesses. Warriors are never alone on the battlefield and shouldn't be alone when they come back home. Healing in the great outdoors with Camp Valor Outdoors and reconnecting with fellow warriors is therapeutic and essential to healing. https://www.campvaloroutdoors.org/
