2) I do know that IAABO has put out literature that goes beyond the NF and this is not a very hard thing to do.
I am not here to debate IAABO or what IAABO does as a whole.

1) Whoa. I'm just trying to find out exactly what the differences are between the IAABO and NFHS manuals. So far I've received answers ranging from "none" to "the mechanics are the same but the presentation is better". Now you said...
a)
"I may not agree with everything that IAABO does, but they do a better job than what the NF does as it relates to mechanics or teaching the mechanics", and..
b)
"IAABO has more training materials on mechanics just as my state association does as well'.
Those are pretty definitive statements coming from you about mechanics, and they seem to be very IAABO-specific also. All I'm trying to find out is what basis you used for those definitive statements. Again, exactly what is IAABO doing and teaching that makes them better at teaching mechanics than what the FED is currently doing?
2) What literature has IAABO put out that goes beyond what the FED is doing, and exactly what is in that literature that that makes it better than the FED manual? Examples, please.
3) Um, I'm still confused. Isn't that why you posted? Didn't you want to debate that the IAABO manual was better than the FED manual? I'm just trying to find out "how" and "why" it is better. If I can find something that might be helpful for my own Association's training, I'm sureashell not above stealing it. Before I can even think about whether stealing it is worthwhile though, I have to find out exactly what the differences are and why the IAABO approach is better than the FED's.
