WHOA WHOA WHOA ethics and be being able to hit the broad side of a barn are 2 very differnt thing's. First I will answer the question about " how does passing A test make hunting better? Well it takes a guy who bought a bow today from going to the woods tomarrow. It keeps the slob who can't hit a vital sized target 3 or 4 times in a row out of the woods. A guy who has been hunting for 40 years probably would be responsible enough to practice and take good shots so this test shouldn't even bother him. Also you say well what about the guy who only takes 15 yrd. shots well come on thats a crappy excuse and you know it any one who can shoot good at 15 can shoot good at 20 yrd.s it's only five more more yrd. and like someone else said how many people do this? Then what about the guy who can stack arrows on top of each other at 60 yrds. but flings arrows at deer at 100 yrds. come on another bull crap excuse a guy who is that proficient with his bow definetly knows his limitions and I doubt he would even be shoot 60 yrds. when hunting live animals. Now case c the hunter with a scoped bow if he has a scoped bow and robin hoods arrows then his hunting bow is going to be set up as good and shooting at peak preformance come on this guy cares about how he shoot's so this is a baloney excuse. now the other guy already explained how they would fund and people would help do it so I will leave that alone. Now you say what about the guy who is a world champion and gets buck fever. Well here goes this guy can nock the eye ball out of a nat at 30 yrds. I saw that show and he later killed a deer with a good shot and I believe he misjudged the yardage. This guy can make the shot easily but the guy that can't hit his own rear end couldn't hit the deer if he had buck fever or not. GleninAZ you called out krisken on answering your question well I did it for him so now you answer my original question how are you over regulated? There is no regulation about the only thing we can't do is spot light at night and shoot them out the window of the truck. We owe it to these animals to be able to cleanly kill them. With out a doubt every one will at some time loose a deer or make a bad shot. What we are trying to do is weed out the guy's who never make a good shot. Look at it like this you and I might loose one deer for every 20 we shoot the guy that can only hit a pie plate at 20 yrds. 1 out of 6 times will wound 5 deer before he hit's one in the vitals. How can we be over regulated there is no regulation. I still stick to my belief that the only people who don't like this are the one's who would have a problem passing it!
