That leopard was out there I shot him for 37 and ended up with a 5. One in our group shot under it and the rest were 8's. That was more like a MBR shot.

 

[Ohioarcher1]

So I geuss we need to work on our yardage judgment:wink:

 

[loujo61]

Who won HC?

 

[60X]

welcome to the world of the IBO apx yardage.

 

[thumperX]

that plain wrong!!!

A big event like the worlds should do alot better at setting the yardage better than that!!! 35 max and it was 42!!?!?! come on thats just plain wrong!! I'd be alittle upset too!!!

 

[Daniel Boone]

With todays range finders

Hard for me to understand

 

[Bowhuntxx78]

I shot K on Thursday and shot under the cat even with a 37 yard gap. Shot hot for the rest of the day (lol). Two in our group shot zero's..... Still one of the best shoot's that I have been to and met some really great people along the way... Can't wait for next year.....

 

[hammer head]

the bad part of it not everybody had to shoot it i shot it for 37 only because of the aprox rule i did get an 8 on it

 

[jwolfe78]

I stepped it off and got approx. +/- 47 yds..... so 42yds may be a little closer..... I held my 37yd pin on him and still shot under him....... 3 zeros' in my group and one 5.

THIS IS OUT OF THE IBO RULES........**Approximate distances have been added to allow the use of a laser range finder and to allow for inherent variations in their accuracy. Approximate distances are NOT intended to be an excuse to stretch target maximum distances.............

7 YDS, THATS SOME VARIATION IN ACCURACY

 

[bhtr3d]

Just remember that wont happen at an ASA major event. We know what were doing and do it RIGHT. Shoot ASA the Shooters Choice

 

[HoodIN]

From what I've heard there were alot of misses on that target.One of the guys in my group stepped it off and had around 46 yards! The first shooter thought max and missed a 0 by a quarter inch. On a better note, we had 5 x's in a 34yd turkey and no broken arrows:tongue:

 

[The Yankee]

It sounds like somebody better send their Range Finder back for Warranty repair!!

 

[xsmasherj]

I still had one of the best times,I met some awesome guys and believe well be friends for along time...not you Chris and John,some othwer guys....Just kiddin my campfire is your campfire,I just wont drink any coffe made by Chris ever again...and for craps sake get some sun on those legs.

 

[hoytshtr]

I shot TMBR class

I didn't shoot K range but I understand what you guys are talking about. I shot on E & C ranges. It was the single toughest shoot I have ever shot. But it was a good warm up for the locals.:wink: It was the best time I have had at a shoot.

 

[Northforker]

I would be the very last one to defend the IBO (Is Barely Organized), but I gotta ask?

Just because it's 35 yds max, do you guys just quit judging yardage when you get to 35?

I know that a most of you can tell the difference between 35 and 45 yards?:wink:

Maybe that one of the reasons hunter class shoots so far up to win.

315 fps arrows, 35 yard max, center 11's.

Not really much to it as far as yardage judging, or risk taking, just shoot for the center of the ten.

Try ASA hunter class with corner 12's and 40 yard max at 280 fps if you want to be challenged. They reward you with 12 instead of 11 for going for the X too.

 

[1wayin]

I think that is why most are in the hunter class because they know the MAX yardage is supposed to be 35 so give 2 or 3 more yards just incase. I heard a lot of people complain about that shot and I don't blame them that is ridiculous. The courses I shot were extremly difficult but none was 7 over the max. Any hunter that shot that course has a legit complaint. When you are told 35 max and have one at 42 plus it isn't fair period I dont' care what anyone says.

Absolutely. and Fat shaft arrows as light as they can make them.
Do people really hunt with those set-ups?

Have to ask.
I have 3 pins and one is a 40 yd pin. If I saw 40 yards, I would shoot 40 yards, no matter what people 'told' me.
Why did people shoot 35 yards at a 40+ yard target just because they were told nothing more than 35yds. Trust your EYES, not the rules. Shoot it for what it is, then argue about it later after you shoot your 8 or 10.

You are told they shoot them with a rangefinder and will be no more than 37 yards. If you have shot enough 3-d tournaments surely you have been fooled once or twice by the yardages. Every class uses the max as a reference point. I didn't shoot the course so I really don't have a dog in this fight other than my opinion of it being wrong for those that did shoot it.
