I can agree with that.

I've never experienced a hold-up (that I can remember anyway) because someone was shooting extra arrows. I have to say I quit going to "mixed" shoots for several years because I got frustrated with the compound shooters--when it got to the point where guys were toting chairs with built-in quivers, that did it for me. Stand at the stake, glass the target for a few minutes, make sight adjustments, glass again, adjust again, shoot, glass again (like he can change it now?), then the next guy goes through the same process. It drove me nuts, and on top of this a lot of them acted like total silence was a requirement on the course. They acted like it was a chore, none of them seemed to be having any fun.......I always asked myself, "what's the point?".

The biggest delays I see at all traditional shoots is when beginners are hunting arrows, or when someone has a group of kids on the course--and I can live with either of those. I do shoot one mixed shoot now, because it's the only one that's anywhere close to where I live.

Anyhow, I'd ask the guy shooting extra arrows if he'd mind waiting until I shot through because he was holding everyone up. If he didn't comply, I'd bring it to the attention of the club management.
