DALLAS –-(Ammoland.com)- A new online bowhunter education course is designed to help North Dakota bowhunters improve their skills and stay safe in the woods.
Bowhunter Ed, which is an official course of the National Bowhunter Education Foundation, teaches safe in-the-field practices, bow shooting basics, different methods of bowhunting, and shot placement and recovery techniques.
By completing this Bowhunter Ed course, students will receive their Archery Field Training Voucher to gain entrance to the final in-person component of the North Dakota bowhunter education course.
“The bowhunter-ed.com course is North Dakota’s official online bowhunter education course. The training is a great opportunity for new and seasoned bowhunters to learn safe practices and study information that will truly help them in the field,” said John Mazur, hunter education coordinator for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.
