Hmmm new idea.....

What do you guys think about a voluntary proficiency test where you could earn a stateissued "marksman" card?

Maybe have three levels of accuracy, first level being the highest levelor "marksman", a second level being "above average"and a third level that would be "proficient".

I would think something like that would aid us securing hunting permission from land owners, it would show them that you take it seriously by voluntary partaking in the test.

It may not get the lazy guys out but it may help those of us out who do practice and are competent with our equipment.



Haha thats funny but...... did you know that there is a majority of world class shooters out there that can drill a ten ring all day long mostly at twenty yards. but if you put them in the situation with a deer in front of them they cant hit the broad side of a barn! And thats a fact! I personally know one that has placed good and won in many shoots including vegas and can never seem to hit a deer?? So to me its a horrible idea?[/align][/align] Another thing with people gettin bows out a couple days before season, do i agree with it.. NO! But a lot of people that are in that situation are trying to start a family, make the money to provide for their family and just dont have the time to practice like the rest of us?? They could also be going through a divorce and constantly have their kids and dont have the time to shoot(Like a Buddy Of Mine)! But can he shoot YES! Its like riding a bike it might take you a lil while but you never forget how!! [/align][/align] [/align]
