Now you can take the Florida
Bowhunter Education Course by completing an online,
Distance Learning component, then attending an abbreviated field
day.
The Field Day is designed to be a hands-on,
constructive learning experience that will include bow set-up and
shooting, field walks,
blood trail exercises, erecting and safely ascending and
descending from trees stands, as well as equipment preparation
and survival techniques.
A small fee to take the distance
learning course is payable to the National Bowhunter Education
Foundation (NBEF) on their website. At least one distance learning field day
will be held in Florida each month. Access the online
distance learning course on the NBEF website
here.

Emphasis is placed on bowhunter history,
safety, ethics, fundamental skills, techniques and tackle.
The course is based on the National Bowhunter Education Foundation
text. Some states require an NBEF certified safety course in
order to bow hunt.
