Iam sorry to here there our folks that did not have a good time at IBO shoots . I think the IBO is doing a great job with the shoots they have . You have got to realize how big a job this is to get these shoots going . I was a counsel member with the Michigan longbow Assc. and I remember what a job it was to get the Great lakes longbow shoot up and going every year. IT is so hard to up and pull out and move it takes months of planing . I dont see what the big deal with Erie and nellsonville our they our both good shoots ,I have shot for years with the mud the heat the flats the hills the rocks the family the wife the what ever . In fact this year I shot nellsonville up behind dorms ,which as always been hard for me ,because I have heart trouble but I dont complane . This year I just had heart surgery 3 weeks ago but still shot those hills it was tuff but thats how it goes ,I would have given any thing to shoot the fields this year . I guess I want to say is we need to stop the bitching and start supporting IBO or we wil lose these organizations all together . Its a big job to do the things they do and its hard to please everyone . so lets stop crying ang get to a Ibo shoot .
