Do you have to fill out the online crossbow certificate of qualification every year. Even if you have it from last year?

Where does it say that you have to do this every year? I think it is one time deal, the certificate that is.

That's why I askedi it doesn't say yearly.  But I will fill it out just in case.

option 1 .... Review the DEC online crossbow qualification training and complete the Crossbow Certificate of Qualification*.  NOTE *

 

• Option 3: Complete a Hunter Education or Combination Education course to receive a Hunter Education Certificate of Qualification. Certificates must be dated on or after April 1, 2014 to meet crossbow qualification and safety training.
  *Note: The Crossbow Certificate of Qualification from 2012-2013 is no longer valid.

 

and if i remember correctly it was the same little cut out form ...

 

so for piece of mind ,, i'm cutting out a new one for this year ...
