The binocular rule will probably not be changed in the forseeable future. The tergets are standard and consistent.
There are readily available pictures if a shooter is not familiar with the placment of the scoring rings.
The fix for too much time on the range is four starting points(at this time). The format for IBO is the trail range with the variety that brings. We did find thru the course of this summer the way to alleviate this problem. We had one combination with three starting points in Nelsonville. MBO & FBO ranges. Thats where the waits were.
Range B had a problem with spacing in the open on Sat. We have noted these problems and the possible fixes for them that we tried this summer. Gene has this information and will be applying them for the National Triple Crown next summer.
Weather, well that was not a good experience. The answer to your point is radr and lightning detectors. We clear the ranges when the lightning is inside 12 miles.
We did that Saturday afternoon. Ranges were closed for 1 1/2 hours. The second time we came close again but it did not crack the wall. We monitor that very carefully.

Some would say speed is part of this game. The reality is that a few of the top shooters are shooting fast bows, but most are not.
How fast is Tom' s bow?
Darrin Christenberry is shooting a blistering 284, from his mouth yesterday. (Congratulations Darrin, you desrve it).
Derry Null is in the 280' s,so is Jeanna Allbritain, and Rodney Huffman.
All winners.
Working on yardage is the key, speed may ge you a line but thats it.
That is some explanation, but the board and the triple crown clubs will be looking at these things as well as others this fall, looking to make things better for the shooters.
Once again, that is some explanation for now. BUT we will be looking hard at them starting right after the world.
