The Online + Field Course is ideal for young bow hunters who already have been shooting archery and/or bow hunting. Adults should still assist them with the online course and accompany them during the field course.

The certification process consists of two parts:

  1. Online coursework: Complete the pay-for Online Bowhunter Education Course.
  2. Pre-register for and attend a “Field Course” with a TPWD-certified bowhunter education instructor.
  3. NOTE: Search and register for a field course prior to taking the online bowhunter education course.

**If you are unable to find a Field Course near you or in the time frame you need, place your information on our Wait List. We will contact instructors in your area and attempt to schedule a course.**

When you arrive at the Field Course site:

  • Bring the “Field Day” Certificate (Voucher)
  • Pay the $15 fee to the instructor.
  • Demonstrate appropriate knowledge, skills and attitude while completing the Field Day
  • Take the written exam and score at least 75% correct to pass.
  • Upon successful completion of Parts 1 and 2, you will PRINT out your permanent card once the instructor submits an online payment. The instructor will let you know. You may legally bow hunt with a valid Texas hunting license and proof of bow hunter education on certain areas (e.g. Hagerman NWR; Granite Shoals Urban Bow Hunt) or in other states  that require such certification in addition to their state’s hunter education requirements.
  • Note: A bowhunter education certificate does not take the place of a hunter education certificate or state requirement.
This is a private course for the youth hunters, guardians and volunteers of the TYHP hunt at Lake Georgetown (01/27/23). This course is designed to teach and develop bowhunting skills by including the content of the standard Bowhunter Education course and is enhanced with the Archery Trade Association’s “Explore Bowhunting” content and other teaching aids. Participants must register and complete the Online Bowhunter Education Course at www.bowhunter-ed.com prior to attending the Field Course (use discount code TWA1022X for a 30% discount).  Please bring a hard copy of the “Field Day Qualifier Exam Certificate” proving completion of the Online Course/Exam to the hunt, and note that the fee for the Field Course will be only $5 (cash only). Participants should bring their own archery/hunting equipment (field points only on the archery range) and test their archery ability to fulfill the proficiency requirements of some states and properties. All legal archery equipment and aids, as defined by TPWD, are allowed.
