How this list was compiled: Written from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Code of Regulations as the commission publishes it at https://www.agfc.com/resources/code-of-regulations (Codes 01.00-C, 01.00-K, 03.10, 03.11, 03.16, 05.01, 05.02, 05.03, 05.05, 05.07, 05.08, 05.15, 05.16, 05.17, 05.18, 05.20, 05.22, 05.25, 05.31, 05.33, 05.35, 05.36, 05.37, 05.38, 05.39, 07.04, 08.04, 08.09, 11.02, 11.05, 11.06 and 18.01, in the versions in effect on the day of reading). The code was read on 2026-10-12; each question names its code number. The course facts (who must be certified, the 10-hour instructor-led class that ends with a test, the deferred code, certificates from other states) are the commission's own, read the same day on its Hunter Education page at https://www.agfc.com/education/hunter-education/, which is the published outline this page follows. The commission publishes no question count, pass mark or time limit for the test, so none is given here. Licence: Own work. Questions, answer choices and explanations were written for this site from the text of the commission's Code of Regulations and the facts on its public Hunter Education page; nothing is copied from a hunter education manual, a guidebook, a study guide, an online course, a chapter review or an examination.
How it works
Unofficial practice for the test that ends Arkansas hunter education: our own questions from the Game and Fish Commission's Code of Regulations, each with its code number. Firearm safety itself is taught in the class or the online course.

Rules that are Arkansas's own
In zones open to firearm deer, bear or elk seasons, hunters wear 400 square inches of hunter orange or safety green, and a hat. A deer is checked or tagged before it is moved, and checked within 12 hours. Nobody hunts within 100 feet of the center of a public road.
What the test is
The commission lists approved online courses beside its instructor-led class. It publishes no question count or pass mark for the test that ends the class, so none is set here; exam mode's 25 questions are our own length.
Hunting stays 150 yards from a residence, 50 with archery tackle, unless the owner or occupant gives written permission.
Night begins 30 minutes after sunset and ends 30 minutes before sunrise.
