You misunderstood what I stated. I have no problem with the rules other than with the string and face walking. I don't have a big problem with that other than you can't do it if you shoot in another organization. It is not something I want to mess with. What I am concerned is that PARTICIPATION has fallen off. Comparing 2006 to 2007 the only difference for these classes was the rule changes. We shot the same shoot sites at approximately the same time. I purposely left out the World because of the site change from Snowshoe to Anderson. I think that the stick classes should go to 35 yards if they want to stay in step with the Europeons. They shoot 30 meters(approx. 33 yards). The bottomline in all this for me is....the change did not bring more shooters out(i.e. not a positive for the classes) and THERE WAS NOT A 3DI TEAM SENT TO EUROPE.
