archery hunting course

Do you just need to take a regular hunters safety course to bow hunt or is their a specific archery course?

Like most people have said, it depends on your state. I am in NV and there is one all purpose class and we covered both firearms and archery. Like army dog said in Idaho there are two separate classes. But you might be lucky like me and there might be an easy way around having to take any archery class. Go to your state department of fish and game website and check for a hunter safety menu that there should be, and see if they require an archery class. If they do not, then you shouldn’t have to take any archery class to hunt not only your state but in another state either. I have drawn archery tags here in Nevada for years and I wanted to hunt elk with my bow in Idaho a few years back. Idaho said I needed to take the class or I needed to have hunted or drawn an archery tag from another state. I obviously had hunted archery in NV before, and I was saved from sitting in a room all day going over archery basics. So hopefully for you your state doesn’t require two classes and then you should be set as long as you get a tag and hunt an archery season in your state first. So go to your state website and look for any hunter safety info, if you can’t find any, call them and ask, take the required classes (hopefully just one), and hunt archery in your home state first and then you should be able to hunt every state in the country without ever having to take an extra class. Hope this makes sense and helps.
