I just happend to stumble across this thread. I think having different classes would help the sport of archery. I shoot in a local 3-d league every Sunday with my wife and we love it. We would love to shoot in some tournaments but we both know we would get smoked. I shoot in the bowhunter class and my average is probably in the mid 260's.So I am definitely not a threat of winning anything. I know I would love to travel around and shoot with people at my level. But with the current classes I save myself the aggravation and do not shoot them. Thats just my 2 cents.
