Unfortunately, due to the little demand we do not schedule many Bowhunter Education field days in advance. What we will do is keep a waiting list with your needs and then we will make sure that you are able to complete your Bowhunter Education Certification before it is required.
Typically we will do additional classes late summer, early fall, before the fall hunts begin, or when we have enough studetns to warrent a class. Classes are usually held during the week in the morning at the Ben Avery Shooting Facility. We offer so few classes, and will waive the 90 day completion on your online certificate. You will have one full year to attend a field day. If you have any special requirements, let me know; for example: you need a weekend class, or need it by a certain date.
To get on the wait list send the following information for each student to azhuntereducation@azgfd.gov:
- Certificate number (should start with an ‘AZ’)
- First and last name
- Date of birth
- Address
- Phone number
- Email address
