IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

I thought it would be a good idea to start a IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS 2007 thread and copy paste some of the info from the IBO main page and get others to add on more info.

How many have already sent in there letter?

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

Still thinking it over.

Seems to me that the last time I went, just three years ago in WV, the fee for Hunter Fingers was about $40, and there was a trophy-only class with even less of a fee available.

Now, I see no trophy class available and the fee to shoot HF is $65 !

I enjoy participating and am certainly glad to see the opportunity moved down out of the mountains to a more accessible area with more reasonable weather for conducting a shoot. But $65 !

I can't seem to locate any info on whether the HF shooters will now participate in the payouts as do the other classes.

Looking for some justification for that kind of entry fee.

I can go play 18 holes (asa senior, walking, weekday rate)each day for a week at a well-manicured full-sized golf course up the road from my house for $13 a day.

My local ranges make money while charging $10 shoot fees for 40 targets each shoot.

I'm not opposed to paying double or triple that for the chance to see how my scores stack up against the best in the country on the same course and day, but higher multiples make me hesitant, even when the event is held nearby.

I may still send it in, or I may just go to my club shoot and enjoy four days of golf that week for the same money and save the gas for my hunitng trip.

Kinda wishing now that I'd seen the rate schedule before I signed up for five years of membership in the BO at Bedford this year.

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

Russ,
I believe alot of folks get confused, so let me explain for those of you who don't know.

The Title Event:
TheIBO World Championship. You have to qualify to participate. You have to shoot in the top 20 scores of your class at any IBO World Qualifier. You will receive an official invitation to shoot for the title of IBO World Champion of your class.It is a moneypaybackin all classesexcept for the Hunter Classes.The World Championin allclasses win theIBO World Championship buckle.
The cost for your class HF is $65.00

The Host(Flatwoods, Peak n Peek, Snowshoe and now City of Anderson) has atrophy shootfor those who did not qualify or maybe did not want to qualify, but still want to come and shoot.This year it is called The Anderson Classic. This is not for an IBOWorld Champion title. A trophy is awarded by the Host. The classes that can participate are all amateur classes (except PCBH). Pro Class and Semi Pro classes can not participate. The cost is $30.00 This is a separate registration form and we do have it available here at the IBO office or by contacting The City of Anderson. If you or anyone is interest, email us at [email protected] or call 440-967-2137
Again this is put on by the Host not the IBO.

The City of Anderson and the IBO are working hard to make sure you and your families have a great time. One of the best vendor show's you'll find for all your archery and hunting needs, fun things for the family and many many many folks doing what you love to do, shooting 3d and talking about it!

Thank you for your 5 year membership. As a not for profitmembership organization thisishow wecontinue to give you a place to shoot 3d and fight toprotect your hunting rights year after year after year. You and all our members are appreciated.
:)

Whitetail99 shoot times Thursday 10:40 coarseN and Friday 10:40 coarse O..

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS THREAD
 

It is true that we had a computer glitch in the scheduling.
The error has been found and corrected. This error did affect some of the shooting times. We sent out corrections to the persons affected. You will receive new labels. Place the new labels over the old labels. This error did not affect all shooters.

I am trying to get the current shoot times and ranges posted on the city web site. I hope to have that done at the first of next week. You will be able to check your shoot times on the web site.

I apologize to the ones that this affected. This is a new and very complicated database. Thanks for your understanding.

Also...

The hotels in Anderson have been very helpful in pricing their rooms. For example, the weekend before the world is the Brickyard 400. Prices of some of the rooms are as much as $135 per night. The hotels have promised to hold the price for this year and next year at the most $99. If you check the city website, you can still find rooms available for less than $99.

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

Well I wish everyone luck in Anderson.. Hope the weather is great. This will be the first year in 10 I am not going to attend. I am saddened by the fact that the IBO has chosen to move from a Great venue at Snowshoe to a Hotel strip. MaybeI am wriong and hope so. Although we used to be 16 of us make the trip from Canada. I know of only 4 this year. We treated this as a family holiday and what better place than Snowshoe? I really don't know. There were many choices I am sure that would have the resort atmosphere. I can't see Anderson having that. it seems that everyone is going to be spread around the town the use of Vehicles will be required. I hopeI am wrong but it seems like it has turned a Great week away at an awesome place into any other 2 day weekend hotel shoot now. I guess we wait and see what the attendance is..Best of luck to the IBO and all the shooters... Shoot em up!!!

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

We have buses justthe same as Snowshoe. There are lot of things here to do. I also had to drive at Snowshoe to my ranges the last 4 years.

There were about 18 of us not going back to Snowshoe do to the cost, also they ripped out about all the kids play areas and the only thing left last year was the pool. It was very cold water.

Thank you for having an open mind about what we have to offer. I glad that my family and I and the City Parks people busted our buttsall summer working on the ranges so you can pass jugdement on the shoot from hearsay and assumptions.

Thank you
Doug Girt

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

Buses are a good thing, but what about the locals that want to drive to their shooting ranges, will this be aloud..
And Snow Shoe was SOOOO Beautifulll but your right doug the cost was out of this world...And i not looking foword to the high 80's to shot in but thats life,it will bring out the worse in some and the best in others LOLI do have an open mind about Anderson, and have heard that you all have worked very hard on getting things ready, We all hope it turns out Good....Looking forword to the upcoming week....

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

Yes there is parking if you want to drive. The temps have been real nice here. :)

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

Just to be clear how does one get from the event to your coarse?

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD

GO HOYT & GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

Good afternoon.

Just a clarification on the parking...There is limited parking at each of the shooting locations. If you can, please use the shuttles. They are free. You can relax to and from the shooting location, and the drivers can drop you off close to you check in tent. With the high price of gas, you can't beat this deal.

We are looking forward to everyone arriving. If your spouses and kids have not signed up for the trips to the zoo and museum, please do so as soon as possible. You can call 765-648-6850 to schedule. You need advance reservations for these trips.

See everyone next week!

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

Tell more about the zoo andmuseum, cost and so on for the spouse and kids....

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD

CORRECTION - Bowhunter Defense Ranges will be open starting Tuesday from Noon till 6:00 pm. The Practice Ranges won't beopenWednesday morning.

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

Hello
I now have questions about cubs? My wife and I are shooting the HC/FHC class will we have different shoot times. My cubs both qualified to shoot, so my questions are will they be shooting with a group? Will they be or have a guardian/parent with them on the range? Are their shoot times both different Also? How far apart are the ranges from the HC class ranges? Need all the help on this I can get early, (wife is on my tail) so any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Well the car is packed and ready to go. Last one there is a rotten egg!:D

RE: IBO WORLD CHAMPINIONSHIPS THREAD
 

[:@]Flaming hot [:@]The courses I shot N and O were tough but not stupid hard. No water the first day and that was a bad thing with hours on the coarse. The next day it was fixed and a good fix indeed. Water about every ten targets. I came away with a scenes that the event coordinators were trying to make the best of the challenges and all of the volunteers I meet were very pleasant. I am already looking forward to doing it again!
