Crossbow Ed

Crossbow Ed delivers state-approved crossbow safety education for Alaska residents and non-residents through an ICEP-delegated provider model. The course meets mandatory education requirements set by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

Alaska residents born on or after January 1, 1986 must complete an ADF&G-approved crossbow education course to hunt big game with a crossbow. Your certification card must be carried in the field.

Non-residents born on or after January 1, 1986 also need this certification to hunt crossbows in Alaska.

Important: Crossbows are not considered legal archery equipment in Alaska—they require separate certification from regular bow hunting.
