Bob Barnette is NBEF's International Instructor of the Year.

Barnette is a lifelong hunter with a passion for bowhunting. He became hooked when his first bow harvest, which happened on his family's ranch, became his personal best whitetail buck.

Since 2017, he's been a hunter ed and bowhunter ed instructor, certifying hundreds of bowhunter students. He's the past president of the Texas Bowhunters Association and was the Texas Bowhunter Education Instructor of the Year in 2022.
