IBO HC site rules

[Grndzer]

I am just getting started and I wonder if someoe could better define the FIXED PIN SITE rule. SurLoc has a Hunter Site Kit but it seem to be an adjustable site even though it has 4 pins. Is this HC legal? I was told by some one that this site was legal but I cant see how, Of coure the told me I had to use 125 grain tips in HC too so I thought I better ask.

Grndzer - <font color=red>The sight that you are interested in would be legal, HOWEVER, if someone saw or thought you had moved it on the range they could file a protest and you could be DQ'd</font id=red>
The following is from the IBO rule book, (this might help you out)

I.B.O. CLASSES DEFINED

Hunter Class (HC)

A compound, recurve, or longbow with or without sights, may be shot with release aid, finger tab, glove or bare fingers. If a sight is used it will have no more than four (4) fixed or crosshair style pins. Circle pins allowed if all circles are the same size. Arrows must have screw in style points and a minimum of 4 inch vanes or feathers. Only one (1) single stabilizer being less than twelve (12) inches in length from the nearest point of attachment is allowed. A maximum of eighty (80) pounds of peak weight is allowed and will be shot from the yellow stake with a maximum of 35 yards. * - **

If a shooter wins twice while competing in the Hunter Class at a national or world level tournament during one IBO shoot calendar year, that shooter must advance to a higher competitive level the following IBO shoot calendar year. Once this shooter advances to the higher competitive level, he/she must remain at that level for an entire IBO shoot calendar year.

This should help you with your grains question...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I would suggest a change in the lock down knobs to a system that requires an allen wrench or other tool to adjust. This set up would preclude the problem mentioned above.

there are many sights out there now that are HUNTING sights that can be moved without tools (sure-loc lethal weapon, cobra ascent, toxonics hybrid, sight master, and many others) the key is that you just dont move it during a shoot. This is something that can be policed by us the shooters on the range. If we all work at this it will be easyer for all. SO JUST DONT TOUCH THE SIGHT ON THE RANGE.

Well I decided to get the Sure Loc challanger kit with a 6&quot; bar and .030 pins.

Thanks for the advice!!!
