International Bowhunter Education Program

What is Bowhunter Education?
The International Bowhunter Education Program (IBEP) is a program designed and administered by the National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) to train bowhunters throughout North America as well as other international locations. The ultimate goal of the IBEP is to provide bowhunters, both experienced and new, with the basic fundamentals of good, safe bowhunting while maintaining the highest ethical standards in the sport. The immediate objective is to instill in all bowhunters a responsible attitude and to adopt and follow acceptable behavior towards people, wildlife and the environment in which they hunt.

Alabama has adopted the NBEF program of bowhunter education in cooperation with the Bowhunters of Alabama.  This internationally accepted course teaches bowhunters to be ethical, considerate, humane and safe.  Topics include: hunter ethics, treestand safety, shot placement and blood trailing.
