The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is
sponsoring a bowhunting field day in Bay County on Aug. 27 for
serious archers who have taken the online portion of the
course.
Instruction will be from 8 a.m. to noon at the FWC's Northwest
Regional Office, 3911 Highway 2321 in Panama City.
The purpose of this class is to provide advanced instruction to
the bowhunter on such topics as the fundamentals of bowhunting,
safety, hunting techniques, stalking, trailing and sportsmanship.
Even though it is not required in Florida, completion of a
bowhunting class is required in at least 14 other states before a
person can purchase a bowhunting license.
Participants must have completed the online National Bowhunter
Education Foundation course and bring the official NBEF Field Day
Qualifier Voucher with them. In addition, participants should dress
for hunting and bring their own archery equipment, including bows
and arrows (field points or target points), pen or pencil and a
packed lunch.
People interested in attending this course can register online
and obtain information about future bowhunting classes at MyFWC.com/HunterSafety
or call the FWC's regional office in Panama City at
850-265-3676.
