RE: HC rules on moving sight
Good question. I suppose that not allowing adjustments, while on the range, precludes shooters from moving their pin (or pins) up & down to set them for a given target. You could use marks on the sight to set it for different yardages, like a moveable sight. If I felt my bow needed a change, I' d do it during a break at the practice butts.

RE: HC rules on moving sight
yes, while on the practice range, at home, in a hotel room or anywhere except on the tournament range, you may adjust your equipment as needed. Many multiple pin sights are now set up for easy micro adjustments. Those also must remain untouched while on the tournament range, but you may sight in any time prior to entering that range.

RE: HC rules on moving sight
Pizon,
I don' t mind at all your asking for the source of my info. First and formost is the rule book issued every year as you register membership. These same rules are published on the IBO web site as well as their year book. Secondly, I do as you are doing now. If I am unclear as to how a rule applies in a special situation, I seek answers from those with either the experience or position to know the answers. Third is from experience in functioning within those rules and situations. I am, and have been competeing for a while, in addition to serving as president for our local club. I have volenteered my services in years past, to aid the IBO and host clubs when and how I could. As of recently, I have also joined the IBO team to serve as a state rep. I hope you find me worthy.
The situation you discribe is far from unique. The re-adjustment of equiptment while away from the tournament range is common place. The rule exists simply to prohibit someone from using a fixed pin setup in an open class manner.

RE: HC rules on moving sight
Bluejacket is correct with the info provided.
Jim,maybe he is a retired NFAA/target pro?
We do recognize that all the dedication required to shoot as a target pro leaves little time to become proficient as a 3-D shooter.
I am glad that many of the 3-D Shooters do have the time to become very proficient at the target game. They make us all proud.
