WATER CERTIFICATION

Land test must be passed in order to qualify to take the water certification. Water hides are not considered as part of the Land test – they are a separate certification and require 100% for a successful pass of the test. Misses will not count against the Land test.

Water certification can be defined as “shoreline only” or “water recovery” (boat).

3 Hides will be placed for each type, depending on what is available. All hides must be found to pass.
