Jr. Bowhunters:

STOP! Please Read this before proceeding! You absolutely must complete the Online Bowhunter Safety Course BEFORE registering for a Field Day. You will need your Online Bowhunter Safety Course exam completion certificate number to register for a Field Day. Field Days can fill quickly and completion of this online course does not guarantee you a spot at a Field Day. Please check on availability and register for a Field Day immediately upon successful completion of the Online Bowhunter Safety Course.
About This Bowhunter Safety Course
Begin your bowhunter education by studying at home on your computer. Upon successful completion of the bowhunting education course (which is confirmed by taking an exam online) you will be issued a Field Day Qualifier Certificate. This Field Day Qualifier Certificate is necessary to obtain entrance into the final portion of your bow hunter education which takes place with a certified instructor in the field. After completing the Field Day portion, you will then receive your NBEF/IBEP official card of completion.
This online course is intended for self-motivated students 14 years old and above who have some bowhunting or archery knowledge or experience. It is not recommended for students under 14 years of age and we suggest that students under 14 may be better served by attending a traditional classroom course where they receive instruction from certified instructors. However, students 10 years old and older may be tested and certified in this course.
Completion of the online requirement is only a portion of the required curriculum. You must attend a Field Day and complete any remaining course requirements at that time. You will have 365 days from the time you successfully complete the online portion to enroll and complete the Field Day portion of the curriculum.
For further information about Field Day options, visit Idaho Fish and Game's Hunter / Bowhunter Education Independent Study web page.
