I shoot Hunter Fingers class, and I' ve been shooting over 40 years. I shot some IBO competition several years ago, but dropped out for three reasons: the waiting times at the targets were becoming ridiculous, the cost to shoot was getting up there, and the ranges were well beyond what I would ever shoot at game (I' m primarily a hunter, but enjoy targets as well). I recently took another look at the IBO, and found that they had added enough ranges so that the waiting times weren' t as bad. Then when I saw that they had added a class that had ranges of 35 yards and under, I got real interested. Then when I saw that that class also had a lower entry price (and less prize money), I signed up and started shooting IBO again. Seems like it' s made to order for those of us who couldn' t care less about shooting animals at 45 or 50 yards, whether we' ve been shooting for four months or 40 years. I think the IBO hit the nail on the head with the Hunter classes and that' s why they' re so popular.
