I for one hope the MBO stays the same. The class definitely creates problems with getting 500 or so shooters on a course. But, I have seen the other side and it creates its own problems.

When ASA started Open C it was (and still is) as a Novice scope class. A way for people to move from pins such as novice or HC and try a scope without all the pressure of Open A and B. Didn' t take.

Check out the participation #s on the ASA site. (I have not checked this year so I may be made a liar since ASA took the shotoer of the year points out of Open C. That class may have dwindled some). The open A class is the smallest of the amateur scope calsses. Open B is next. and Open C is always the biggest. For some reason archery is a sand bagging sport. I know of several people that have been shooting longer than I have (I shot with one guy at my very first shoot who shot Open B 5 years ago) who are now shooting a novice class, Open C.

So it may seem a quick fix. But here is one vote for sticking with the current problems before creating new ones.
