Then, if you're lucky enough to find a sponsor,you have to perform several "rites of passage." The Rites of Passage include but are not limited to:
[ul][*]a feat of extraordinary strength, such as killing a wolverine or wombat with your bare hands [/ul]
No wolverines or wombats here,but I did kill a Grizzly with one hand tied behind my back.
[ul][*]a feat of extraordinary intestinal fortitude, such as eating a pack of fishing maggots [/ul]
Had that for dinner with shark guts. (I even ate the liscence plate)
[ul][*]a feat of extraordinary marksmanship, such as killing a groundmole or field mouse from 75 yards away, with only a longbow.OR [/ul]
shot an apple out of a deer's mouth at 100yrds over my shoulder with a recurve.
[ul][*]a feat of extraordinary intelligence, such as deciphering the whitetail language or engineering a better mousetrap.[/ul]
I spoke with the 195 P&Y I'm gong to shoot on opening day. he said to say hello to you guys......He's heard of you all.
Once a sponsor has been retained, and one or more "feats" have been attained, you will be eligible to sign up at the end of July.
I have my pen in hand.
