Every farm owner/manager of a hunting farm
would like to know that the hunter who enters through the farm gates are competent, with the ABO COP programme we are able to assist them.

an unknown distance. |

ABO developed the Certificate of Proficiency (COP). The COP is a self-study course designed to be implemented as a minimum standard in bowhunting. To be certified a candidate needs to pass a written examination and a practical shooting exercise, when these are
