I need to vent here to keep my interest in the IBO, but from what I am experiencing, I am not too happy. I have traveled over 2,000 miles by car and have spent alot of money to shoot an entire triple crown, only to find that the first 2 legs were not busted or flighted. We were told at the last leg that they were not going to flight because they don't do it localy, next year they said they would. I thought that groups took on the IBO shoots and triple crown shoots to abide by the IBO rules. There were also two targets that were set up horrible on this last weekends shoot. One was a turkey with the entire vitals blocked by a tree. The other was a floating alligator that you pulled back to shore to retreive your arrows. The target was left where ever in the pond that you find it from the last group. Or where ever it may drift. Sometimes close, sometimes far. So at the end they gave everyone an automatic 10 on both. Is this practice common? I would like to think that this is not going on in other parts of the country. If this practice continues at the IBO shoots around here. I beleive that I will spend my money shooting at the local shoots or take up golf. When a club says that a shoot starts at 8:00. Should the meeting be before the shoot, and the shoot start at 8:00. Or is it common for everyone to start showing up at around 8:00 or so for a 9:00 meeting, so we can start around 9:30 or so. Sorry about venting but I would like to know if I am being to anal to expect more. One of the clubs members told me that I could get away with anything as far as equipment because they have no way to check my bow or arrows. Seems like a cheap bow scale and arrow scale is all one would need. I have seen local clubs run a tighter ship, who operate on a much smaller budget than this group.
