Its really all what your into. Most I know that have all the bells & whistles on the courses including magnifying scopes that seem to take up the most time adjusting their settings. Usually have more than 1 bow. They use their bell & whistle bows for tournaments only. It doesn' t bother me if thats what someone wants to do. I personnally shoot the hunter class with the same setup I hunt with. Just for the reason of being the best I can with what I plan to harvest game with. I' ve also had few troubles on the courses with waiting. Most do let you pass if your in a smaller group, and take less time. I don' t mind waiting for others if need be. I find it interesting watching others shoot, and checking out all those gadgets!
