Thanks for the warm welcome and the helpful advice. This is my first time ever shooting IBO as I said and my experience up until this has been local Bowhunters of Alabama tournaments and 5 spots. I plan to shoot in the hunter class for my first time to sort of get my feet wet and see how I do. As long as I hit all of the targets, Iwill be happy(LOL). The yardages don't bother me as I said as long as I know that they will be in the confines of the rules. In the "unlimited class"(in BHA) the max was supposed to be 45yds. with a 3% variance and they do not always follow this as in the case stated earlier. Most of the time they do but sometimes they will get a little carried away. Thanks again for all of the good words of encouragement. That is what I like about shooting a bow, there are always great people willing to help you. THANKS!
