yes definately, the ibo needs to impliment some kind of move up for people like him to make it fair to the beginners

of the unspoken word your are master, the spoken word is master of you.

ok this is kinda sad when one can point the finger so easy.I shot open c in asa in gainesville, but decided to try my luck at semi pro in ibo, due to the fact i liek to challenge myself.I had a bad day and was very upset with my scores.But I shot very well sunday on my last 10.It was due to i have one bow that i shoot very well.But what i really wanted to say is that just becuase he shoots a scope very well, doesnt mean he can shoot pins as good.think about it most of my shots were easy with pins, magnification doesnt always make you a better shot.I shoot scope way better than i do pins, so why shouldnt i be bale to shoot hunter too.Point in case last year in IBO i shot the first 2 legs in hc , and becausei am a pro staff shooter for sevral manufactors, i was bashed as a sanbagger, so to shut up pouters ands babies i move up.Why cant a pro staffer be a HC shooter.Pro Staffer doesnt make you a pro shooter, Pro Staff spots are given to most beacuse they are good people with the right attitudes, that can help there staff manufacotrs promote products, has nothing to do with how he shoots, only that is the PRO shooters.I shot the same course as the Pro's and I seen them make shots that to me were easy and not do good as i would think they should have, but i dont dog them out on the forums.We are all in this for fun and have a great time, why all the jealousy?I have had good days and i have had bad days, when i am on I am on, when i aint i aint, but thats liek it is with any sport.This is just my input on this thread.

What you call sandbagging I call a method of practicing to improve your performance at the national level. I've heard alot of people say they shoot MBR locally and HC at the BIG shoots. After shooting out to 45 yards (still 50 yards in my area) those 35 yard shots won't intimidate you. Its more of a head game than any thing. Maybe this guy practices twice as much as you or maybe he is out in the woods practicing judging distance every day and thats why he did well. In my opinion it doesn't matter what class your in, if your a good shot you will do well. The guy that won HC two years ago won MBR last year (National Triple Crown). If the guy you mentioned finished in the top 10% of HC, he would probably finish the same place if he would have shot MBO.

I mentioned above that it was a head game. Its a head game that you are losing because your letting it bother you. Relax, forget about everyone else and shoot your best. Thats all you can do.

AS far as I know he hasn't done anything illegal. The only stipulations in the rules are about going from pro class to amateur.

sounds liek to me, that u have a personal problem with the guy to me. why didnt you go to him and talk to him and see why he did it .Why come on the forum and do it, I am not sure about you but when someone has a problem with me I wantt hem to come to me.I shoot semi pro, not becausei think I am better, than anyone, I want to is all,less competion there as far as numbers, same max yardage as mbo, just higher entry feee is all.PLus i liek to get out there with the pro's go on thase course and meet some of those guys and watch them shoot, some are good and some arent all that.kinda cool to see what makes them pro's.I see you just joined IBO, im gald you had a great time, and realy glad to see you brought a waomn to the sport, but dont turn her off showing her poor sportsmanship.Just have fun, really you are competing agaisnt yourself, the heck with anyoen else.Just have fun.Ill be in Rome, Only one there with a blue AR34, woudl liek to have a chat with you just to show you all of us shooters arent sandbaggers.

I think we need to add spell check to the response page.

i have to agree with AR34 just shoot itll be way more fun
