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!:-P

[griz660]

Not sure about a compound and wooden arrows? Ask Gary or Brock at the event if the dark side can shoot wood lol

[Foxtail]

If someone is willing to lend me 1 or 2 woodies I would do it.

[cloverphil]

does that include traditional crossbows too ?:mrgreen:

[greybark]

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......
Cheers

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.

Come on guys I still have the bear compound and the wood arrows I was sold by a store in the city.Dusted off the longbow and found a few arrows so I,ll be down for some fun.Seems my best arrow has Roy Days name on it 8)
