There are now multiple podcasts that cater to the traditional crowd and a few high profile people who have switched to traditional equipment. There is a lot more buzz out there now about hunting with traditional equipment. I think it is natural for them to search for information about how to get started with traditional gear and seek like minded people. It's growing at a fast rate.

I use K&G. Check out knifeandgun.com. Good people, great service and they do an excellent job!

Before you build out the side plate, test your bow to be sure it really is cut past center. I tested three of my bows, built by different well known bowyers, all of which were supposed to be cut past center, only to find out that none of them were cut much past center, maybe 1/32” or 1/16” at most.  The thickness of the strike plate pushed the arrow shaft out to where the inside edge of the arrow shaft was at center at the strike plate, at best.  At the arrow tip, it was well outside of center.  Of course YMMV (and I hope it does!).  This doesn’t mean that I couldn’t tune it; just had to tune it differently than I would if it were truly cut past center.

I think the site promotes itself. I know at least for me, I have gained a ton of knowledge and made some good friends through Trad Gang. It seems that Traditional Bowhunting is growing, and hunters are seeking as much information as possible.

Why don’t the kids needing instruction have fathers willing to help? May be an incentive for them. Another thing we do is take new hunter ed graduates and ask them to help if they seem intelligent.
We make sure they’re w other instructors and we train them the way we need.

Women are often overlooked. Bet if you asked some they’d help too. A friend of mine moved to Oklahoma. She was a great instructor. She taught hunter ed and archery classes w me. She’s had enough resistance being a female out there she gave both up. Shame.  Nothing she couldn’t teach. Ask women and be welcoming to them.
Many companies offer hunter ed instructor discounts. There’s more incentive for ya.
