About this event

  • Event lasts 4 hours

Archery hunting is one of the most primitive forms of hunting stemming from our ancestorial past, yet through innovation and new technology, archery hunting has seen more changes and development than you’d imagine.

Today’s archery hunters have many more opportunities available to them from extended seasons to new equipment available. It can seem confusing to a new or interested archery hunter, but after learning the basics in this class, you’ll be prepared and ready to begin your archery hunting journey.

You will have the opportunity to shoot compound bows and crossbows during the class. We will cover safe practices, hunter ethics and review the equipment needed to be a successful archery hunter

We are biologists, game wardens, and educators all in on a common mission: responsible, safe enjoyment of the Maine outdoors. We believe a healthy ecosystem makes life better for all the fish, wildlife, and people who call Maine home, as well as for the visitors who call it Vacationland.

While MDIFW is a state agency, our work is funded by sportsmen and outdoorspeople. Our revenue comes through the sale of hunting and fishing licenses/permits, boat, snowmobile, and ATV registrations, as well as taxes on hunting and fishing gear. The more people who actively enjoy Maine's natural resources, the more ability we have to enhance, preserve, and protect them for the future.

Basically, we're all in this together. Biologists. Game wardens. Educators. And you – the hunters, fishermen, and everyday adventurers who support our work.

For recreation, for hunting, for fishing, for science, or just for fun: we're all in for the Maine outdoors.
