Bob H in NH,
"The first year HC was a class, the amount of shooters who dropped down from MBO, MBR, SPM and I beleive even Pro was HUGE. The payout for this class at the worlds was larger than any division with the exception of PMR. I know people who dropped from SPM to HC for the sole purpose of winning the money. People who shoot 395+ don't "normally" fit the description of what this class was intended for, sure, some folks, with hunter setups can do it, but they are rare. What are they being protected from? Simple, remember the second part of the HC, to allow folks in as a beginner level which is less competitive. This gets blown away by the people who drop and shoot high 390's"
My sentiments exactly. This is one thing that removes hunter class as an entry level class.
"I believe HC was originally put in for both beginners, and hunters, folks who don't want to try adn compete with the 3D specific bows, long stabilizers, 5gr/lb arrows etc. It was for an introductory class on one hand, but also a class for people who want to shoot 3D, but want to do it with a hunting setup which typically is not compatible with a top 3D setup."
This I feel is the other. I was ripped for an earlier post regarding the equipment used in HC. Target bows with pins & 12" stabilizers, in target colors, don't have a place in the woods, IMO. I'd never want to carry a 6+ pound bow around all day.
