I agree with Ken, this thread has a LOT of potential. All of the posts seem to be in agreement on 98% of the ideas presented thus far. At least we are trying to reach a good solution for everyone. Let's look at the options discussed so far.
1. Every shooter that shoots an IBO shoot should be willing to become a member in good standing. All of the good things that IBO does for us as bowhunters should more than justify the membership fees.
2. Have a Bowhunter Novice class. Make the shooter shoot 280 f.p.s. or less with full 4 inch fletching and minimum 100 grain screw in point. Fixed pins etc. just like the HC is now. Reduce the entry fee for this class to $20 and make it a trophy or certificate of achievement award. Certificates would be better as there cost is minimal and every shooter could receive one when he turns in his/her score cards. Then give plaques out to the top twenty shooters.
3. Create an Unlimited Hunter Class. The shooter could shoot the same setups as the HC class is now and not change anything for it.
I think this will help to make the classes more competitive and enjoyable for everyone. Let's keep this thread going and give Ken some ideas for the questionaire if that is the way he chooses to go.
