I am new to IBO as I have said before. Hunter Class to me is not a novice class. If anyone will look at the Southern Triple Crown scores you will see that not many shooter's scores were way up. At Wetupmka only the top 6 shooters were up over 400. At Rome, only the top 3 shooters were up. At the final leg in Pensacola only the top 9 shooters were up. Perhaps to some the hunter class is easy but certainly not for me. The courses were very tough and yardages were hard to determine. The little signs saying welcome to the IBO did not help my feelings any either(LOL). I was a little intimidated by the pressure and the shooters wearing the sponsored shirts as well as many other sights that I encountered for the first time. Despite all of these things, I focused on the positive things as Jeremy Blackmon advised me to do. I not only had a great time but did not shoot too bad for my first time in the IBO. I shot with some great shooters from 16 years old to 60 and had a great time meeting and shooting with them all. I learned invaluable tips from each and everyone of them. They not only made me feel welcome but helped my wife with her shooting as she had only been shooting since Christmas of 2003. This to me is what makes the IBO what it is. This thread proves that, as all of you have given your opinions as to how to make the hunter class better, not easier for yourselves to shoot in. I think as Bowpro said that we need to go back to page one of this thread and list the ideas and see as he stated which two directions we need to go. I can see that we need to create a true novice class but at the same time have a class for a shooter that is between that level and MBR and MBO. Just when I think that I have the answer someone gives me something else to think about on here. Some really great suggestions have been given and I hope that something really good comes out of all of the great ideas put forth on here.
