What is going on now ,we had everything good some years ago . Then the big meeting at snowshoe where Ken asked what we wanted for the classes to compeat at the 3di . Ibo did not listen to us at that meeting and went ahead with splitting the classes and making RU a 35 yard class . Then we start to get used to that and the next year at snowshoe they changed again to all at 25 and no string walking . I was told it was to get more people in IBO. Now they want to change again with this letter . IF you guys want to no why we cant get any more shooters its all the changing and crying in the trad ,longbow and RU classes that make people not want to shoot. It seem like if you cant win in a class you just protest or change the rulesormake a nether class so you can win.. I think some of us stick shooters think we will get rich by winning or some sort of shelf gratituide. We need to stop all the changes and shut up and shoot and have some fun, thats what it is really supposed to be about. Also this 3di stuff , nothing has ever been laid out to any of us on how we get to go,I dont feel this is a big deal and should be cleared up soon . Back to the letter, in the one I got it just talked of the RU and longbow changes , does this mean that TRAD guys our not aloud to go . Last year at the 2006 world champ Dave Hawkins won the TRAD div. and had the best score out of Trad, longbow and RU class for the hole shoot and all classes shot the same yardeges. Something to think about ,if you really want the best recurve shooter you need to include Trad also. Well just hope you guys can get these thing figured out soon .
