Maybe I should clarify my condemnation of the open class. In tournaments where there is something truly on the line, where cutthroat competition is the reason people are there, then have at it. But the little club shoots - the ones that are for the recreational shooters - LEAVE THEM ALONE, open class! That competition attitude is neither needed nor wanted.

Those shoots are for the regular folks, so they can get out and shoot their bows and enjoy a day at the range. They are not being put on for your benefit, so you can get in your 'practice time.'

I am right there with ya Arthur. That is exactly what I was trying to say as well, probably just made a poor attempt at saying it.

I think we're all on the same page on the 3D issue. It's gotten totally out of hand and the administrators don't seem to care or understand the problem. I stopped attending 3D events when it started taking more than 3 hours to run a 20 position course.[:@]

Weren't those old animal shoots fun, Big John?
They sure are! They were brought back by popular demand last year at our archery club and should remain for years to come.

Yes they were, never missed one. Even the night coon shoots.

Yeeehaa! We still have the coon shoots every year. And I thought that was just a backwoods Wisconsin thing.

At some of the samll local shoots, you could shoot two rounds of golf in the time it takes to get done. Also gas prices have gone up about 50% around here. all in all it got too expensive.

Also long stabs and umbrelas were so ridiculous.
