bluejacket, thanks for these words: "When referring to entry level shooters, we are not always referring to new shooters. You have to remember the real purpose of the IBO. They promote, advocate, and educate hunting or hunters. The game of 3D is a fantastically successful way to encourage the bowhunting populace to pick up their bows all year long. It also offers a way to combine the intencity of the target archer with the determination of the bowhunter. The combined effect is a very accurate hunter who is very familiar with his/her equipment and its limitations."
This is where the equipment rules are lax. I don't know how the IBO can identify a hunting bow, but it certainly isn't bright blue with chrome cams & accessories. I suppose the real problem lies in the shooters that don't belong in the class. I realize there are shooters out there that can, and do, shoot high scores. But they should be moved along, and kept out of HC after they are moved up.
Phil.
