I said this same thing once about 8 months ago and it still applies now. Without HC where would we be???? HC was only introduced 3-4 years ago and what did all entry level shooters do before that? Sit and whine on our computers and hope someone changes rules for us?? No, if you wanted to shoot when I first started shooting you usually shot MBR class, all 50 yards of it. And you liked it, too. People who don' t want to look like fools in front of other shooters??? We all know what it' s like to be a beginner, we have all been one at one time in our shooting lives. And others aren' t standing there laughing at you either, because we remember....all too well what it was like to walk up to that first target you' ve ever seen at 49 yards and thinking it was 40 all the while shooting a bow at 250 fps(If you were lucky). I don' t know why everyone has to argue about this class, it states in the rules, FOR ENTRY LEVEL SHOOTERS. If you shoot the class for a while and realize that you like the aspect of shooting competitively then by all means have at it, but in a class other than HC. I' m rambling........ This arguement has always seemed to bring out the best in me.......
