Successful completion of a recognized bowhunter education course is required by many states, provinces, or in special designated bowhunting areas such as some federal lands or urban bow hunting areas. In addition, it is possible that completion of a valid hunter education course might be required. Therefore, it is always advisable that you check with your state contact regarding all the bowhunting rules and regulations pertaining to the area where you are planning to hunt.

The Today's Bowhunter online course includes topics such as conservation law, the ‘unwritten law’ of the bowhunter, facts on how an arrow harvests game, bow hunting safety, how to practice for bowhunting, lures, calls, scents, bowhunting methods, shot placement, and the responsibilities of being a bowhunter.
