If you have a large number in any class (200) for instance and move the top part of that class to another class what does that do to the people that have established a ranking in that class that may be working their way up. This is not fair to the people in the other class and you are also taking away their right to choose. You are right that this subject has been beat to death but it never seems to go away. I shoot in a league at home where 40% of the shooters are shooting HC and I am sure that there are many other places that are expierencing the same type of numbers shift. Another class which we have established in our league is the range finder class and that to is growing bigger each week and we shoot 36 weeks a year and average over 100 shooters a week. I think that it is time to look at the numbers at shoots around the country and see if maybe it is time to consider sometlhing that may be being overlooked and that is what the majority want. If you make changes in the organization for what a few people want than you may loose what the majority is telling you through the numbers being posted. The only way that you can never make a mistake is to never do anything different. Or is it? Based on numbers the IBO is still the biggest and best competitive 3 D shooting organization, LETS KEEP IT THAT WAY.
