Hi Ken,
Yes indeed, I did see the changes made and I think they are a great change for the better. I shot in the MHC at world and had a good time. I like the new name as that is what we have in our BHA(Bowhunters of Alabama) tournaments. We have bow novice, bowhunter and bowhunter advanced,and the men's unlimited class(MBR class for IBO). This is a natural progression for a shooter that wants to compete at a higher level with pins instead of a scope. The 40 yard max is another great idea that several of us voted on at world also. I am glad to see that we as members have a voice and that it does count. I am already for the southern triple crown to get here and have already booked my same room for world next year. I hope everyone has a great hunting season and I look forward to seeing a lot of our IBO friends at Wetumpka next spring.......
