I printed this same idea on the HuntingNet.com forum with no results.That was prior to finding this forum.My question is,why isn't the IBO taking advantage ofa tremendous opportunity if they would just do a better job of promoting 3-D? I dropped out of 3-D competion and went back to shooting trap because at least at trap with the class system they utilize,everyone has a chance to be a winner.They have paid score keepers so there is no cheating.Class isn't based on how much money you can invest in a bow,but rather how many targets on average you can hit.All that is recorded in a central data base and stored to be viewed by anyone with a computer.It gets real old when you only have the ability to score say a 260 and its always the same experienced guys winning that have been at it for years.Its also disheartening to be beaten by those that cheat,claiming the higher ring when its obvious that their arrow never touched that higher scoring ring.I wish that there would be a club that would have paid scorers that would go along with each group just to score and that a class system could be utilized.I also would like to see nice awards offered so that the cost of shooting and the hours of practice were made more worth while and when a person did win,he would have something to show for all his effort.If the archery companys would get behind this it would be of great benefit to all.I would also like to see a sub-junior class as well as a veterans class.Where is the promotion of this great sport?,its dieing and no one seems to care.There are over 58,000 members of the Amateur Trapshooting Association.Its mandatory to be a member to shoot registerd trap,it should be the same with 3-D and the revenues generated by the dues would help support the paper work and promotion.Maybe someone should start another orginization that wants to do something for the good of the sport.There are millions of bow hunters that I'm sure would jump aboard if they had a chance to win something and everything was made fair.Is anyone out there listening?
