I' ve been shooting traditional archery for only about eight years.
I' ve been an I.B.O. member for about five years.
I joined the I.B.O. because they protect the rights of hunting with bow & arrow &
I really enjoy shooting 3-D.
One of the things I like the best about shooting 3-D at a club that uses I.B.O.
rules is that I know what to expect as far as the distance I will have to shoot.
Since I feel 3-D shoots are partlly sport and partlly practice for honing my
hunting skills I like the 25 yard max.
There is nobody that I know that is a responsible hunter that will take a shot
over 20 yards with traditional bow.
I say leave the the true traditional archers that don' t string walk or face walk
at 25 yards.
And to Silent String I shoot field archery with my recurve and it' s a BLAST!
