Thanks for the info. The VA course is a combined firearms and archery so will not be accepted in CT. VA does not even offer a bow hunting specific course so it would appear his only option is to come up and here and take the CT course. Since they are all booked up that is not an option. Personally I think since he can hold a VA archery license he should be able to get the CT. Do you happen to know if there are any generic on-line courses he can take that would meet the requirement?
