IBO International Bowhunters is why i'm a memeber.Thats to fight against the anti hunter.To keep my right to hunt not the competion even thou thats what i like to do.Bow hunters that are not members need to see this.The events are nice and the hunters are what make up this organization.IBO wants hunters to be true to the sport .I still carry my hunting bino's on the course even if they are not IBO legal .Trophy shoots are when i use proper equipment .So really to shoot 3D you can shoot any set up the endividual wants and still be a member.Bino's are the least of a worry to me .To recruit new comers is to make them aware that there rights as a hunter is demineshing.Defence fund range is not a competion but there for us to contribute to the defence of our sport.So any bino's can be used ,they wont kick you off the course cause you bino's are not IBO legal.I keep my eqiupment as least expensive as possible .My bino's are Alpen 8x40 and have an all right field of view For 3D.
I see lots of money being spent on bino's .Ya 600$ pair is better than my 40$ pair but who got the 11x?I hate to see this topic run possible new members off.
IBO has more benifits to it than just the target archery part of it.
