Fort Stewart implemented a Bow Certification Test for this Hunting Season. The initial test consisted of 2/3 shots at 20 and 30 yards from an elevated position. This was developed without consideration of the TG'er.
After many phone calls and emails, I finally convinced the authorities to amend the test for TG'ers. The new test for TG'ers will be 2/3 shots @ 15 and 20 yards shooting from on the ground or a elevated platform 10 feet high. The new standard will only be communicated verbally until the  beaurocracy catches up with a Reg change.

Good news for Ft. Stewart hunters. 20 yds is still going to be a stretch for some newbies like myself.

Good Job WhiteOak.

Bun Bun....well....try and look at it in  a positive light...the longest shot now has been shortened by 33%.

And, some things you just gotta work for.

Congratulations on your effort.

I agree 100%. Not planning to take a 20yd shot this year. I'm comfortable at 15 or less. But it is amazing the difference five yards can make....two yards for that matter.  :D

Wow, you got some pull!! Good job

Can you fix this stock market thing ?

Good job WhiteOaks and thanks for helping alleviate that situation, hope everybody feels a little better!  Now to just deal with the Thursday and Sat testing schedule!!!!  LOL

Thanks for your effort WhiteOaks! - John

Outstanding!  Nice job representing us and doing so in a respectful manner.  Ft. Stewert is still a possibility.  Thanks for the work!

That's *great* Randy!

Hopefully, the success rates will show that Trad Gangers are more conscientious and effective!

Have a great 2011 hunting season!

Shoot straight, Shinken

 

It is people like you, that make a difference.  thanks for all your persistence and hard work!  I don't hunt over there, but the whole idea of people making decisions that affect others, without thinking through the consequences, really heats me up!!

Just for TG'ers? How will we ID ourselves?  

That is outstanding!

Bjorn,
We'll be the guys in the funny hats.

We can only hope that other areas follow Fort Stewart. I live in BC and we have no certification which is a scary thought. I can only hope some day we get a certification for bow hunters in my area. Lets hope it lowers the numbers of wounded animals running around in the bush, makes us all look bad.
Good job on the 15-20!
