Default RE: does your state require you to prove you can shoot

Ok, one question. I bet nobody here supports more gun restrictions right, and with each new gun law it is said to be a small step toward taking away our guns. <font color=red>Having said that, I do not support another hunting restriction of which mandatory proficientcy testing amounts to.</font id=red>Does this sound far fetched? Down the road in a few yrs. anti-hunters or non hunters in a state legislature decide that bowhunters should be able to robin hood arrows at 20 yds. regularly!

Shooting at targets and shooting at live animals are two different things. I know a few regular 3D shooters who react differently in hunting situations. Education, guidance, and experience makes for good hunters. Not allowing more laws to dissuade those who want to hunt.
