Great program. Loved the style of the instruction - straight to the point with a couple expert/bonus tips. The audio made it easy to learn while doing a menial task. I did, however, find the course to be glitchy at times. Some of the audio files show "ERROR", there were a few slides that had way more time than the content needed, and one of the videos had the wrong privacy setting. All in all a great program and value.

Really enjoyed the course. Was given to me from a son, who in the near future he and I hope to share out of state hunting trips.

I really liked the narrations and being able to read along. It was easy to read and listen to. The only thing I found that was wrong was on the 1st or 2nd quiz, there was a question that had totally wrong answer choices and you had to pick an answer to keep going. The answer choices had nothing to do with the question asked. So someone might want to review Quiz 1 and 2, sorry I can’t remember which it was.
