Sorry Ranger77 but in this instance you are wrong. As plainly stated the newby wants to hunt his setups, which is the OP's decision to make. I wont' allow my son to step into the woods to hunt, even thought he is legal, without proving to me that he is proficient every year. He's 15 and out shot me and a buddy the other night, ended up busting his own nocks (yea I am proud of him!) The OP sets the rules, unless it's family land, if it was aquired by him. The newby can legally hunt public grounds.

And to say that not being proficient with a bow is not what gives bowhunters a bad name is wrong. Here in NC, where I live, there are stories on the news and such about deer being seen with arrows in them. Being a taxidermist, I have skinned out deer with arrows in them, just last year had one that had a broadhead in it's head, healed over. Shot down through the head stopped in the back of it's throat, how the thing survived IDK.
