yes, if you fail you can take it with fish and game up here the next time they have a class or go with one of the Master IBEP instructors as he has a ibep certified course at his house, you can shoot that everday but no more then once a day for qualification. The shots...well nothing is more then 30 yards. You have 4 targets, 2 arrows per target, in fairbanks we have 2 out of a treestand, and one kneeling shot. You must hit 5 of 8 (62.5% pretty poor for a minimum to hunt if ya ask me)! You also have a blood trail to find. The folks up here have a pretty realistic set up. I cant remember the chemicals to do it (one is dishsoap) but the one thing I do remember from making one is if you get the crap on your hands, plan on being red for a couple days LOL! I know nothing of the muzzl requirments as far as there classes go. just remember, there is no shot OVER 30 yards!!! Cant say that enough. Our longest shot is at an elk and I cant believe the amount of folks who ask me how far it is or tell me that it is well past 30 yards (35-40+!). The really wild thing is when some guy walks up to you and says oh that looks 40 yards and then sticks his 2 arras. We also have 2 different stakes at each target (minus the treestand shot for obvious reasons). Usually the difference in distance is only a couple yards but you also must take into account the angle of the shot. For a kill shot, think of a balloon where the vitals are at...if you pop that ballon you pass! Its as simple as that, if you dont, you dont pass! The scoring rings on the target are out! For a perfect broadside traget you can go off of them and be pretty safe but put any angle at all and forget it! Hope that helps some.
