For me, Longbowman's definition of "Traditional" is a little too restrictive. It leaves out all the recurve shooters that choose to shoot carbon, aluminum, or fiberglass. It also ignores broadheads like Muzzy & Thunderhead with replaceable blades. As to 200 scores for 3D, there's just too many variables. What scoring system; IBO or ASA? What stakes; 30yrd, 25yrd, or something else? Marked or unmarked yardages? How many targets; 30, 40, or something else. How many arrows per target; 1 or 2? I do know there are mighty few members of my club that would shoot a 200 on a 30 target IBO course with 10, 8, 5 scoring at 30yrds max, one arrow per target. Joel Powell, who was a past IBO Longbow Champion, but unfortunately died last fall, once told me that to be competitive at IBO shoots he felt you had to be able to shoot at least 50% under their rules.
