Default RE: SANDBAGGING OUT OF CONTROLE

I have looked at the results of the hunter class from Wetumpka and do not see any open shooters in the top twenty. I have gone back over the last two years on the results page and I must have missed something. Being new to the IBO I am still learning. I too shoot hunter class and enjoyed the shoot very much. I agree with Ken, if you have a particular person in mind then send it in an email so that it can be cleared up. I think the forum page gives us all a chance to vent a little and express our opinions. Sandbagging does go on in almost every sport. There is no way to stop it totally. We have the same problems in our BHA shoots here in Alabama. We stopped a lot of the unlimited and open shooters from moving down by making them shoot 100 grain screw in points and 4" fletchings and as IBO limiting them to 280f.p.s. This has helped a lot as most of the top shooters want to shoot glue in points and smaller fletchings for speed. It does not totally eliminate it but does curtail it some. Most of the posts on here are saying the same things. Those shooters that take pride in shooting and enjoying our sport, move up for the competition. If you are satisfied with easy wins in hunter class, aren't you really limiting yourself?
