We all know the ibo rules.Arthur just told you how the 5 gr rule came about.The 280 speed thing was just added a few years ago so the short draw people could shoot some of the same speeds as the other guys.Shorter draw shooters have less to worry about when it comes to equipment breaking so the rule can be relaxed for them,couple that with the newer equipment being stronger,some changes were warranted.



Passthru,I assure you that Arthur has tried it your way.He does get passionate about this because he knows what he is talking about and loves this sport.


He doesn't need me to take up for him but some of us have been here along time and have had the EXACT SAME ARGUMENTS with him and I will promise you that you can not win it against him.


I personally don't think his way is the only way and maybe not even the best but I assure you that under the current regs that his way will help the average guy out.



Now,Arthur,maybe you can go take a pill and relax.[8D]
