Glad you cleared that up for us.If they have doubts about new members shooting abilities they could've just asked you to shoot a few rounds at the distance they expected the shot opportunities to be at.I can understand them not wanting a dog or themselves cut up or killed by a wounded bear. If I ran a hunt club I would want to have a couple of weekends, where members were required to show up and sight in what they were going to hunt with.Maybe a planned work weekend or something like that.Sure some would complain but you would know if they could shoot or not.It wouldn't hurt my feelings to be asked to shoot and I would really expect it.Now they know you can shoot under pressure though.
