I don't think the color of your bow make's you shoot better then shooting a camo colored bow.Most of the guy's shooting in the HC Class are shooting bows with a camo paint job on them,color makes NO differnece.I cannot beleive the crying and whining that go's on here about the people shooting in the HC class,if you don't like getting beat,learn to shoot better.You can change all the rule's you want to,but,the better shooter's are alway's going to be at the top.What do you guy's want the I.B.O. to do?Keep changing the rule's until you find a class you can win in?We shot behind some guy's at a local shoot,they dropped back to the HC class thinking how much easier it was going to be for them to win.They told us what a suprise they got by going back with the fixed pins and the competition level.So I don't beleive it would matter what rules you change.I don't beleive you should penalize a person because he or she shoots a good score,or has the ability to do so,90 percent of the people shooting are shooting to have a good time and to help with there hunting.There can only be one winner in each class.Archery is 90 percent mental,with this kind of attitude,most of you are beat before you shoot you first arrow.Ask yourself this,what seperates the guy's shooting the 390's score's from yourselve's,they KNOW they can shoot the high score's.By the way,I shoot in the mid 270's,can the IBO set up a class for me so I can win something also??
