 About
This Bowhunter Safety Course
Arkansas accepts an independent study method that involves
a two-part process:
- This online course, completed on your own time and your
own schedule, followed by,
- Field Day instruction and testing led by certified bowhunter
education volunteer instructors. Call 1-800-482-5795 or visit
the Education page of the Arkansas Game and Fish
Commission website to learn about Field Day options
in your area.
Begin your bowhunter education certification by studying
at home on your computer. Upon successful completion of the
online bowhunter 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 bowhunter
education course, which takes place with a certified instructor
in the field. After completing the Field Day portion, you
will then receive your official proof of course completion.
- There is no minimum age to be tested and certified with
this online 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.
- At the present time, Field Day options are limited, so
please ensure that a Field Day is offered in your area
before taking the online exam. For information about Field
Day options, call 1-800-482-5795 or visit
the Education page of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission
website.
