I sent the info to Ken. The Triple crown was a world qualifier and an IBO sanctioned event. Each of the first two legs were about 500 miles from my house. Making it a 1,000 mile round trip for each of the first two legs. Everything here in the west is FAR away. Thank godness the last leg is only a 2 1/2 hour drive.

I would think that whether it be a national, or regional triple crown. If I shoot an IBO sanctioned event, all the rules should be followed. The reason I joined the IBO and started attending IBO tournaments is because of the fact that rules were outlined and it should not be a free for all when I attend them. These qualifiers are being run like local shoots and I am more and more turned off every time I go to one. There was a great showing by people in my area several years ago at the IBO sanctioned events. The attendance by people I know has dropped considerably. They all have the same issues, but nobody chooses to speak up. Any organization maintains its strength by maintaining or increasing numbers. I just don't see that happening in this region. Thank you for adressing my concerns, I do care about archery and hope that my grandchildren will have the same opportunities that I have had.
