What is the Proficiency qualification?
The proficiency test is needed to allow the hunt manager the opportunity to see if the hunter handles their bow safely and that the hunter can put three broadhead tipped arrows at 20 yards in an eight inch circle. No practice tips will be allowed for expandles. Our insurance carrier also requires us to implement the test to reduce the rates on our policy. There is no sharing of equipment and no exceptions. If there is a firearm hunt on the property, a separate proficiency test will take place during the bow season. A hunter MUST use his or her own equipment, slugs only and shoot 3 out of 4 slugs in a 8 inch circle off hand (simulating a hunting condition) at 50 yards. UBNJ will prioritize the bowhunters for all hunt locations.
