STOP! Read this before proceeding! You 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.

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.
A few EASY steps is all it takes:
- To complete the independent study portion of the bowhunter
education course, you will need an adequate computer, printer,
and Internet access.
- Study the Today’s Bowhunter material in
each chapter and then complete the chapter review questions.
Re-study any material you may have answered incorrectly.
- When you have studied all eight chapters, take the Practice
Test as many times as you like—free of charge—to
ensure you've mastered the course material.
- Then
if you wish to become eligible for admittance to a Field
Day, take the Field
Day Qualifier Exam for $20.00, collected via a secure transaction using Verisign Secure
Server Digital ID. This fee is collected whether you pass
or fail. A score of 80% is required for passing the exam.
- When you pass, print
out your official NBEF Field Day Qualifier Certificate.
