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.
What if all these incompetant bowhunters switched to crossbows and it allowed them to shoot much more accurately at 20-25 yards. Would that be a good thing ? Or are we, as bowhutners, comfortable with many in our ranks being terrible shots ?
