the yardage is only 5yds. more then the former max and that is only if each stake is set at max, there shouldn't be that much of a difference overall. the change was made with the cubs in mind so they do not have to try and shoot an average of 26yds. at a shoot with adults when they just came from fbh at 15yd. max. there will now be an even 10yd increase from fbh to youth.
