For MANY years the local Corp of Engineers controlled property around lake Georgetown has required hunter safety and an ANNUAL ARCHERY TEST. This year they required a $10 fee to take the test. The $10, I was told covered all of the costs associated with the archery hunting program. The test, is two shots at each of 5 3D deer targets in the woods. The walk tru course is done with groups of four. Passing grade is 8 of 10 shots. If successful your name is thrown in 3 pots (10's, 9, 8) and 120 archers are drawn. The $10 fee I can handle, but on top of this there is a $90 fee if your name is drawn. The $90 goes into the "general fund" in Waco, TX. In our group of 4, two of us passed the test. IMO the test is a fair way of reducing the numer of names in the pot, but the $90 is unfair.
P.S. The guys who failed to qualify were shooting Matthews, FYI
