    Hey csir11 , I appreciate your support of Traditional Archery . Your proposed contest will involve but a very few and the "money thing" has a way of encourageing the commercial instead of the participation aspect of Archery .
    As much as i respect your idea may I suggest the following - The two doller entry fee would be fine but the contest open to ALL trad archers . The monies divided as stated would be fine . But the winner would be determined by a secret spot on an unknown target (each day). Thus any Trad archer young , old , newby or acomplished would have a fair and even chance . Instead of a Competion it would be a " TradLotto ".
    Either way I will support your Clubs venture , may I say that the Traditional aspect of archery is growing to the extent of being the largest Class in recent years at Abbotsford Indoor 3-D .
    Cheers ....

    Maybe I'm missing something here but as I read it, I could post a score with if I shoot wooden arrows out of compound!

    Wood arrows of any type are NOT to be launched from compound bows . The stress of launch very easily may result in part of the wood shaft lodged in your hand or wrist . It would be tough to use your mulligan . If that wont deterr you than the dry fire effect and damage to your bow will . If you further insist than the "happy face" on your score card may .
    Basic rule - dont......

    All kidding aside guys, Greybark is right! DO NOT try to shoot wooden arrows out of a compound bow. There is a reason you don't see Morgan ash framed cars racing on the F1 circuit.
