First i want to say i think this is great beacuse for once people are putting forth ideals for ALL SHOOTERS and not just themselves. This is what it's all about, TEAMWORK. We as the I.B.O. members are a team, as a team we defend our right to hunt, help new shooters and bring the kids into our sport. That said i would like to put forth some of my ideals. Hunter class is a GREAT class, it has brought in a lot of new shooters and has helped the I.B.O. more than a lot of people think. When this classwas first thought up i don't think anybody had a ideal how big it would get. It is one of our biggest classes and we need to keep these shooters and add more to their ranks. How do we do this and keep it fun for everybody and not just the people winning or shooting 415-425 scores. FLIGHT THE CLASS. Raise the fee to 35.00 and use the extra 5.00 for gift cert. Pull a number at the shoot so nobody knows what it is. Say you pull a #32 take 32 points from the top score at that shoot and that starts your second flight, do it again and that is where your third flight starts. The shooters in the top flight are shooting for awards and a chance for a national title, LEAVE IT THAT WAY. The shooters in the second and third flight get a certificate of achievement ( to put on the wall) and a cabalas gift cert. Three or more places for 2nd & 3rd flights. If people in the top flight want money move up, after all they are getting a chance at a national title that would be worth more to me than money. Now about moving up. I think you should move up into a class with the same equipment rules of the class you leave. Take M.B.R. class, who hunts with a long stabilizer, 2" fletch, and v-bars, equipment like this should be used in a target equipment class like ( M.O.) MALE OPEN, i left the B out because this equipment has nothing to do with bowhunting. There are 2.5 million people in this country who own archery equipment. Around 97% are bowhunters, these are the people we need to reach out to. When we get them some will continue to shoot bowhunting equipment and some will move to target class, we will have a place for everybody. Give H.C. and the people who shoot it the RESPECT they deserve. This is not a baby class or a beginners class, the average shot on a deer while hunting is 17 yards so a 35 yard max class is not a walk in the park for a lot of people Thanks for listening TRIPLETT
