Bowhunter Safety Field Day

Oregon's bowhunter education teaches bowhunters the fundamentals of safe and responsible archery hunting and a respect for the environment in which they hunt. Students are required to first complete the online Bowhunter Education course to attend this ODFW BHED field day. https://www.bowhunter-ed.com/oregon/

Students will be required to shoot their own bow and arrows at class (No Broadheads). Walk through 3D hunting scenarios to better understand making ethical and successful decisions in the field. Test & shoot to qualify. 

Note: Youth under the age of 9 may struggle with the course material and may not have the physical strength needed to safely handle a bow during a Field Day.
