RE: What do we need to do to get more money?
It would be nice to win an archery tournament and get a check equal to one that a professional golf player would get, but I do not think that it is going to happen.
If someones has and ambition to make more money through shooting archery tournaments, then simply place a side bet with a willing competitor who has the same ambition. If you can't get any takers then you are not talking enough smack.
by pursuing a money making ambition as mentioned above:
IBO would not have to be involved.
Shoot fees would not have to increase.
Clubs or IBO would not have take a smaller piece of the shoot revenue pie.
Payout could be dictated by paticipants. (eg. winner take all)
those who love the sport for other reasons can continue to do so.
the amount you win or lose would be detemined by the amount you are willing to risk.
I must say that the above suggestion is one that I personally do not encourage or discourage, and I do not know if it would even be legal. I guess what I am trying to say with respect to all, is that you cannot expect to win thousands of dollars with a $37 entry fee.
