I know it is hard sometimes but you need to read the rules of the shoot before you go shoot the course - I currently have the same issue and have questioned the rule interpretation. If you ever have a question that is what the shoots committee is for. If the shoot states IBO scoring rules you are both wrong as a "X" is 11 points.

As for the bow bashing that should never be done it is unsportsmanlike! I shoot a Mathews I would never say one bow is better than another. What works for one person does not necessarily work for the other, if it did we would have only one choice in manufacturers and no competition to make a bow better.
