I am sure that Bill and I share common ground on a lot of archery related ideas, but I am also sure we disagree as well.

It has been my experience that if you find someone who is agreeable with everyone, then a red flag should be raised. I would be suspicious of such a person, but that is just me.

I personally feel that there are a number of IBO rules that are nonsensical to me, but I do not think that they can be changed by using this forum to attack persons who disagree with our personal views.

I admitt to being one who will draw my own long knives, once I feel first blood has been drawn, but I hope I am smart enough to resheave them at the first opportuninty.

I am very optimistic that shooting a bow and arrow in the traditional manor has the opportunity to become more popular in the IBO. I feel that rules that govern the traditional classes will have to be addressed by folks who want the best for the whole and the interest of individuals will have to take a back seat.

As for complaints/whining, I am of the opinion that it is human nature to find an excuse as to why we did not finish in the top position, because as we all know it couldn,t be that talent alone could possible out perform us on any given Sunday. With the above said, I think the best we can do isensure rules are in place that make our sport as equitable as possible.
