Tennessee Bowhunting Safety and Bowhunter Education Course
The Today's Bowhunter course is the official online bowhunter
education course of the National Bowhunter Education Foundation
and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.
About This Bowhunter Education Course
Tennessee 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 skills evaluation led by certified
bowhunter education volunteer instructors. To learn about
your Field Day and skills evaluation class options, visit
the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's Bowhunter Education Web page.
 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 Bowhunter Education Online Exam Certificate. This Bowhunter Education Online Exam 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.
- By state rule, you must be at least 9 years old to complete
the 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, go to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Bowhunter Education Web page.
