fastfletch, you stated in your post to start a class just for the beginning archer, what do you think the hunter class is?

i realize there are great shooters out there who dont even participate in the local events, that are very capable of posting great scores.....again, i liken this to the michael jordan tiger woods theory.....go out and practice every day for four hours a day....you will never beat them, they are the best in the world at what they do......you, for all of your efforts fall into thats the best i can do catagory.......within that category you must find a place to shoot. if shooting the big scores is what makes you feel good, then thats where you need to be. if you feel you need to be challenged a little more, step up. i stated in my post that if you moved 1/3 or the hunter class there would be no other class than mbr that could handle them, i am not saying i think it should be an automatic cutoff score and you have to move that shooter out, if the shooter is that good, they should move up. i am not saying that the ibo needs to tell 1/3 of the shooters in a class, move up or quit, i realize that is a problem, and will create problems. it is not a solution. there are some great shooters in that class, obviously or we wouldnt be addressing this as a problem. but is it also fair for the newer shooter to compete against seasoned shooters? i will agree, just because a shooter is new to the ibo doesnt mean they are a new shooter...
