Jmarley,
I think that your suggestion was genuine and an effort to contribute something constructive to the IBO competition class system. I think that you should keep in mind that your efforts were read by more than 3 people and the majority chose not to make light of your suggestion. As a game we should always be open to suggestions of ways to include more people. The class system is showing a decline in many areas and suggestions of ways to gain more people in any part of the sport should be taken seriously. I'm sure that there are more than a few people that would like to go to a shoot knowing that they are shooting against archers of the same skill level or even a little better. If a class of 400 people has 20% winners, how long will be before some of the 80% start thinking about another sport where they may be appreciated.
Don't get discouraged and the only dumb questions are the ones that you don't ask.
