fastfletch, odd you mention the rangefinder class. a few years ago we were having trouble getting help at our club, and as a rusult our targets did not get moved for 3 shoots. on the 4th shoot, we decided to have a marked yardage/rangefinder shoot. again the targets were not moved from the previous shoots, and this marked shoot was to be the forth. participation was about the same as usual,around 75 shooters. the only class that improved was the bowhunter class. all other classes the scores dropped, some be several points.

bigger eyes will not enable you to shoot your bow any better, but may enable you to pick a spot on the target.......

but getting to my original post, for most bowhunters who are not familiar with the ibo and its rules, are we shooting ourselves in the foot with the restriction in that most hunters will not buy a special pair of 3d binoculars
they view it as an expense they do not want. i know we tend to look at things that effect us, but what about the guy we are trying to recruit? all they know is they have to spend a lot more money just to shoot foam animals.....
