I'm kind with Greg on this in that I'm very on the fence about this subject. On one hand, a very good friend of mine's father is a true blue gun hunter. With a gun in his hand he is very lethal, however, with a bow he needs a quiver full of arrows because he'll likely shoot them all...in one hunt! We encourage him to practice, but he does so very little and does not tune his equipment. An accuracy test would benefit him greatly.

On the other hand, one property I used to hunt required a permit and to get the permit you had to pass an accuracy test. All you had to do was hit the mid-section of a deer targetat 10, 15, and 20 yards. There were guys with arrows in the spine, in the gut area, in the brisket, that all got permits. Where and how do you set the criteria?

While the thought of a test is good, the practicality in administering and the challenge of setting the qualifying requirements make it very difficult to put into practice.
