Other than MBCA wildlife convictions aren't Federal. Just curious why a hunting or fishing conviction could have an impact on whether some guy gets a PAL renewed?

It doesn't. i think the implication was that maybe it should? but i may have read that wrong. but that's what i got from it. which makes sense i suppose, if you have a pile of hunting related convictions, should you really legally possess in canada? debatable.Quote:

No Sawbill has it right under the firearms act section 5 Provincial Wildlife convictions would not preclude a poacher from having his PAL renewed.But if I had access to the convictions I would list them in the results of my applicants background check and forward it to the Chief Provincial Firearms Officer.I could not get them so they did not get listed.Quote:

Dito ,BUT. For all types of hunting. Not just bow. Europe, nordik countries maintains animal pops this way. It works. Most bow hunters actually practice more due to muscle conditioning req'd than the fudds with guns I've seenQuote:

The problem with Archery, not many practice 3D from an elevated stand....seen it many times...10 arrows in the bull at ground level but miss the Bag from 16' up...

In NB if your name gets drawn for the moose hunt you need to pass a shot test at the MNR range I think the target is 100 yards. 3 tries no pass no Moose.
It's called proficiency with arm. No matter the arm or the country. It's needed for all firearms and bows. Ya elevation tricks some archers. Having said that by the time the season comes I'm usually more accurate with bow at any height than Elmer who's thrown a few down range. I've seen flubs by archers. Personally I've seen way more firearm flubbed shotsQuote:
