Proficiency Testing
Would I be in favor of it? - yes.
Would it be practical to administer- no.

I used to conduct proficiency testing for a military base many years ago. I too have seen otherwise competent (?) archers fold under the pressure of folks watching them. I also got a lot of "Gee, my broadheads fly differently from my field points!?". I am no longer a tester, but I still get tested every year to hunt there.

Amore practicalapproach would beto require completion of the National Bowhunter Education Program class. Some states require it, most don't. At least the unwashed masses might learn something that would help the sport we all love.

There are folks who shouldn't be allowed to carry a bow into the woods, sit behind the wheel of a car, or type on a computer, lol. I agree, there is no practical way to weed them out, the price of a free society...
