Most only shoot one day but some see how many rounds they can get in over the weekend. First round in each class counts towards awards, the rest is just for fun

The atmosphere is nothing like compound tournaments. Always friendly, always encouraging and always good people.

Originally posted by jerp View PostOpen means any arrows but in reality it means carbons or maybe aluminums. Wood class is wood arrows only. "Barebow" is a bit confusing. We used to call this class "Olympic Recurve" but we were told by a member/bowyer who builds rigs for those shooters that barebow is a better description. In barebow competitions they can use a small stabilizer and a simple rest but no sights. (Olympic bows have sights.)
Hope to see you there Briar Friar!
I could put tassles on my bow if it makes anybody uncomfortable.

Many will shoot in both the carbon and wood classes using the same bow. The reason that barebow is its own class is that they theoretically have an advantage because of their use of stabilizers and rests. Barebow competitions include field, indoor target and 3d and the rules depend on which sanctioning body is holding the event. (NFAA, IBO,ASA among others) They all have different equipment rules, e.g. sights allowed for targets, no sights for 3d, stabilizer length restrictions, etc. We have included that class in an attempt to draw shooters who might not otherwise compete. Some of our participants only shoot 3d but the majority are bowhunters using their hunting rigs just out for a day of fun.Last edited by jerp; 03-24-2021, 09:14 AM.

If you are using that “blue tape bandaid” as a sighting reference, then that bow is not legal in any TBoT shoot! Can’t speak for how it would be rule on for this particular shoot at cowtown, as it is not a TBoT shoot.

Thanks Jerp. Sounds like an ILF riser and some bells, whistles, or tassles for some high speed low drag arching would be appropriate.
Thanks for the reminder Jerry.
No blue tape is bandaid...not aiming aid. Im dialing my form in to point gap aiming for TBOT shoots. I do need to take a magic eraser to my riser and make some previous marks go away. Good push.

I was going to shoot this but at this point I probably shouldn't. I'm sure it will be a great set up and a lot of fun.
I'm just really limiting my shot count. The day after I got my PT back I shot 40 or so arrows. Couldn't shoot for a couple of days.
Hate to not shoot one at my home club though.
I will see how it feels Friday.
