Is there any exemption for older archery hunters to be able to receive the archery license with out a class?

I was told at fish and game I had to take the archery education class even though I am 42 and have been into archery for well over 30 years and belong to an archery class. I think it's a waste of money and is just red tape I already know safety well. I didn't have to take a hunter's safety class because of my age. Does everyone have to really waste time on repetivatly redoing the same stuff we already know? And pay for it? Or am I exempt because of my age and knowledge?
Answer: 
    To buy an archery permit in Idaho, all bowhunters must possess a valid hunting license and show proof they have completed an approved bowhunter education course or show evidence of having been licensed for an archery-only hunt in Idaho or another state, or complete an affidavit to that effect.
