wildarcher - I think you are confusing Nationals, where there were not enough youth finger shooters, and the Worlds. At Worlds all youth classes received awards, the YMF class had 4 archers and all 4 received payback - same as PCBH. At worlds, everyone that qualifies or participates in the final round (Sunday shoot-off) gets a payback, in each of the classes mentioned - all would qualify for that.

This is only my opinion on the PCBH on a local level. The way it stands now, I can't shoot anything local. (Maybe one course, Dundee, because half way brings you back to the parking lot and I can leave). Would Adams Conservation club set up a course for me on flat, level ground so I can come shoot? Do they have the extra targets layin' around? You ask what qualifies someone for this class, I believe that is a fine line - what do you want medical records? I can only speak for myself, it was a difficult decision to make - shoot PCBH or not shoot at all . . . and as you well know, I opted to play the game that I love so much.
This is my opinion and nothing official.
