The rules for the H.C have always said that if a shooter win a world championship. That shooter cannot compete in the H.C the following shoot year. My question is about the Indoor World. Is the Indoor World considered a world championship.This same question has been posted on this forum before, but I dont think the person that posted it ever got and answer. I dont shoot the H.C because it is very top heavy, and I like the challenge of shooting 45 yds. But I do know a lot of hunters that I sometimes talk into trying 3d shooting. Since they are hunters and have very little experience judging yardage they decide to shoot the H.C. They go to a shoot and maybe shoot the best score of their life and end up in about 200th place. After that they figure they cant compete with 25 0r 30 up and they decide to just shoot in their backyard. And you dont have to join the IBO to shoot in your backyard. But this hole top heavyand forcing shooters to move up thing has been beat to death on this forum and Iam not trying to get it started again. Iam just asking why the 2005 H.C Indoor World Champion shot the H.C in 2006.
