Lot's of good points in you post, thanks for the reply.
I'll bounce this off you too....an average of 8 makes a 30 target score of 240. the tournament I shot last week had 80+ shooters in bowhunter class...and only 30 or so of those shooters had over 240. Weather was as perfect as can be...hardly any wind. No bugs to speak of.
I can't believe that.... That is a very poor showing, however I am glad to see them out shooting.
I have shot many'a 3D shoots on the local, state and national level, I understand how weather, insects and other people can affect ones performance. I justdon't think averaging an 8 under almost any condition would be to much to ask for.On many targets an 8 covers 2-4 square feet or more.
I don't want to discourage anyone from hunting. I don't think anyone does. Hunter Education is a good thing. We can teach and educate there.
I agree also. I dont want anyone excluded just for some people to take practice more seriously.
