The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is offering free bowhunting courses in Palm Beach and Miami-Dade County.  Bowhunting courses are designed to help students become safe, responsible and knowledgeable hunters and learn about conservation. 

All classroom materials are provided free of charge. Students should bring a pen or pencil, paper and all bowhunting equipment they have. An adult must accompany children younger than 16 at all times. 

Anyone born on or after June 1, 1975, must pass an approved hunter safety course and have a hunting license to hunt alone (unsupervised). The FWC course satisfies bowhunter safety training requirements for all other states and Canadian provinces.
