 The National Bowhunter Education Foundation (NBEF) is an independent, nonprofit, tax exempt education organization that develops, implements and administers the International Bowhunter Education Program. The NBEF was created to ensure bowhunting's future existence in a world steadily growing away from the hunting tradition. Its goal is to improve the quality of our ranks through education and protect our bowhunting privileges. The International Bowhunter Education Program (IBEP) is a 10-12 hour, standardized course on bowhunting. It includes classroom study and field experience. The IBEP course is being taught in all 50 states, Canada and some European and African countries. The IBEP course covers the following topics:
In Wyoming, the NBEF with cooperation from the Wyoming Game & Fish Department, offer the IBEP to all bowhunters and potential bowhunters across the state. The student in the course receives a manual and a 3 in 1 responsibility guide, that will cover, Shot Placement, Big Game Recovery, and Tree Stand Safety. Upon completing the course, a graduate will receive an internationally recognized card designating the student as an "IBEP Graduate" which is recognized by all states that require bowhunter education before hunting in their state.
WHY SHOULD I GET INVOLVED? The IBEP will help you become a safer, more accomplished bowhunter
WHERE ARE CLASSES TAUGHT AND HOW CAN I FIND THEM? In Wyoming, we have a State Coordinator, Master Instructors and the Game & Fish Education Division that can be contacted for scheduled classes or setting up a class in your area. These individuals are listed below:

opportunity to help other bowhunters by becoming an instructor. Independent studies
indicate that those who participate, experience more enjoyment of the sport and greater
success.
