Maybe I should clarify my condemnation of the open class. In tournaments where there is something truly on the line, where cutthroat competition is the reason people are there, then have at it. But the little club shoots - the ones that are for the recreational shooters - LEAVE THEM ALONE, open class! That competition attitude is neither needed nor wanted.

Those shoots are for the regular folks, so they can get out and shoot their bows and enjoy a day at the range. They are not being put on for your benefit, so you can get in your 'practice time.'
