RE: What is this about having to take a archery safety course?
My husband and I are both Bowhunting Education Instructions here in Idaho. If you live in Idaho you have to take the course in order to get your Archery permit. If you are living outside ofIdaho and can produce documentation that you have had an archery permit in your home state then you can be "grandfathered" in. Hope this helps.
PS I also agree with the others. There is a ton of information that everyone can learn from in this course. I highly recommend that you take it!
