On Friday, I opted to hang out until someone from my stake(45 yds.), not necessarily from my class, came along after they tried to put me with all hunter class shooters(35 yds.). The two people at the tent acted like that was absolutely awful. But, oh well, I am the one that is competing, not them.
They could solve this problem by putting shooters who shoot the same stake on one course. Two different stakes at the most on one course, if need be. Then us shooters wouldn't have a problem finding someone who shoots at the same stakes as us.
I don't know if it was you that I saw illustr8, but I saw a girl shooting from the green stake shooting with cubs at the white stake. I felt for that shooter.
For as long as these shoots have been going on; I think this should not happen.
Also, groups still aren't being busted! They come along and say they are together and "wa la" they stay together. And I am not talking about the groups who decide to stay together after they have met each other and shot together the first day.
These problems need to be addressed and should have been addressed a long time ago. This is a competition, not a shoot for fun shoot.
I like the IBO and their shoots, but these problems are getting worse, not better. I truly hope the IBO officials find a solution for these problems soon! If these problems were fixed and I am sure most of them can be; IBO would be the a greater and better organization that would grow even bigger then they are now. Just my honest opinion. Good Luck IBO!
