aeroslinger, great post.
I once attended a "qualifying" match/event to be eligible to assist in herd-thinning taking place at a local metropark. It was for archers only.
I hate to even post this, but I was appalled at the low level of proficiency seen by the dozens and dozens of archers that showed up to qualify at what I thought was a test that was waaaay too easy to prove much of anything.
If you want to be amazed, simply work in an archery shop the month before the season opens. It gets down right humorous to see what walks through the door.
