New format for 2018 IBO Traditional World Championship, Pipestem, WV, July 20-22, 2018 The IBO mission is to offer a true world class competitive event that also promotes fellowship of family and friends.

Beginning this year we will offer four shoot times to complete 30 IBO World championship targets. Shoot times will be 8:00 AM and 11:00am Friday and Saturday….shotgun start!

“Everyone" (except Cubs and Eagles) shoots final 30 targets Sunday, 8:00AM shotgun start. Awards immediately following. There are two, thirty target ranges ….A & B. Classes shot on course A – REC, RU, TH, FREC, FRU, STRAD Classes on course B – MLB, SLB, SB, LB, FLB, YU Cubs & Eagles will shoot with their guardians on either course.

Also new this year: Archers may shoot 2 classes, (a class on each range), but may only choose one class/one bow to compete in on Sunday. Bowhunter Challenge format stays the same. In addition to the "Trad Tech Sadie Hawkins" Team Event, and the 3Rivers Showcase Shootdown event, we are excited to present a new event the "Last Man Standing".

In order to preserve the integrity of the sport of traditional archery, the IBO is continually striving to enhance their tournament format. We look forward to a fantastic event this year in West Virginia. Questions contact: [email protected]

Good stuff! I'm glad to see them making changes to create an event better event. Kudos to the IBO!

I rally like the idea of being able to shoot two classes. Wish I could make it this year.

The peer grouping does not change. On Sunday, archers will continued to be peered as before: 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, etc...for the championship day. The invite for all to shoot on Sunday adds to the IBO Championship experience for all archers, and promotes more archers participating and shooting their bows. Archers will be able to come for the weekend and stay until the award show. In addition, all of the IBO courses, and rounds are shot in "like" peer groups, with "like" bows...you will be grouped by an IBO official to shoot any of the IBO courses, hence the shotgun shoot times of 8am and 11am. The Bowhunter Challenge range is for socializing, friends, family, etc. and you may group yourselves.

We will be there!

I'll be there...my 5th year I think. The only fly in the ointment I see is no mention of a separate championship "Sunday" only course. We gonna shoot the same course twice? At Twin Oaks there were 3 courses A, B, and C for obvious reasons. I'll miss seing Pappy at the Trad Worlds this year.

Looking forward to this location

Hi Moose. IBO officials will not allow archers to shoot the same course twice without changing the range, like having another course, or possibly moving the stakes. At Twin Oaks, only white stake shooters shot course C, and the orange stakes were always moved for the final day on a previously shot course. For the championship courses at Pipestem, the IBO will not let you reshoot a course, it will be different, and probably more difficult, lol. Thanks for the question. New venue, new format, new questions. Looking forward to July!

how does the trad hunter [TH] Class work?

Some nice changes. Hopefully it all works out to make another fantastic IBO Tradtional Worlds. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Now, what classes to shoot ??????.

I find it interesting that in seven days this thread has only ten posters.

Then again, the frequent railing against "aiming, scoring and competition".....well to me it speaks loudly about where most traditional shooters feel comfortable discussing their chosen sport.

I can see why IBO doesn't run qualifiers to participate in a "World" event.

Its a great shoot to see how you do against the best shooters and also to have fun .The only pressure is the pressure you put on yourself . I look forward to seeing this event ay Pipestem this year

Too many shooters afraid of 25 yards, to ay nothing of 30...

You can say what you want about the term "World" but IMO the IBO goes to great lengths for the traditional shooter ie. all the different classes and such. I for one enjoy what they do and appreciate it. The wife and I have made a tradition out of going every year and like the competition and the friends we've made. In addition, I think the reason there aren't a lot of posters on this thread is there is already another (same title). In my life experience, the percent of people who shoot for fun vs. the people who shoot to compete break down about the same across traditional and compound ranks. Regards

There is not a club that puts on this shoot at Pipestem State park. I think this is larry Cade and the Ibo.I am sure several volunteers will be helping.

Well, all I know is that when the IBO Traditional World Championship first came to Twin Oaks, I attended not knowing what to expect. I didn't know if I'd find snobbish traditional competitors or what.

I couldn't have been more mistaken. I met and shot with some top competitors while shooting on the Hunters Challenge range. HAD A BLAST!!! They may be serious competitors but they love to have fun like any other Traditional shooter.

In my opinion, the IBO is a great organization that truly knows how to put on a great World Championship event, not to mention, super organized. TOP NOTCH!!!

Good luck to all.

" IBO does not come to their own shoots like ASA with 25 member ASA paid workforce with equipment. "

No, but they do bring a great crowd in. We hosted an IBO shoot last summer, doing again this year. Between shooter fees and kitchen profits it was about break-even the first year (We had toi buy some new targets.) This year we'll get well into the profit zone.

Work? Yeah, but the trail work benefits the club in many ways, club members get their work requirement in, and it beats going to the gym ;-)

Did some preliminary trail planning yesterday, logging on the grounds will push us to make some changes, so we'll make it new and better.

With the 2 class quals this year, which 2 are you guys planning to shoot? I'm shooting longbow so tradhunter seems like the easy choice since I can just shoot my longbow and woodies as they qualify for TH too. But I'd really like to give RU a shot as well...Decisions, decisions...

Does anyone know if we can pre-register for our shooting times and if so how to go about it? I'd guess maybe you'd have to choose times and classes when you register and pay, I wont arrive until Thursday afternoon though. Just wondering, cant wait to see what Pipestem is like.

I plan on going and shooting in the RU(recurve unaided) class. Anyone know what the max distances are on the orange stakes? 35? 40? 50?

~Wojo

Orange stake is 30 yards.

Good luck with the World, we really enjoyed doing it as I know you will. You get to meet a lot of great people and yes from all over the world. The IBO is good to work with once you get to know them, we were use to using TwinOaks rules so that was a little different but the good thing is if you win the World you really won the world using the format that use. Pappy

Hedgehunter when did ASA get a 25 member paid workforce?

Anyone know if you can camp right on site? Any sites left? I was going to call and see. Just curious if anyone knows. ~Wojo

Sounds like it could be an enjoyable shoot. Unfortunately, it isn't one that we will likely every enjoy. My wife, now young adult children, and I have enjoyed shoots since the children were born. We went through the whole scoring phase and enjoyed some success. Along the way, it became a real family thing for us. It is more thsn just showing up together. We enjoy shooting together just as we enjoy hunting together.

Now don't get me wrong. We also enjoy meeting new people who also shoot stickbows. The idea of shooting a course individually is just lost family time in our minds and that happens enough in everyday life. Being limited to just the hunter challenge course is just not enough to justify the trip, although some of the hunter challenge courses that we have shot were decent.

As I mentioned on the Cloverdale thread, the really truly popular 3d shoots like ETAR, Compton, and the Tennessee Classic are either noncompetitive or cater to both. Yes, some might just be too intimidated to compete. But some just plain enjoy the atmosphere and shooting.

Just to clarify to help you understand the difference in the two organizations: The IBO is a nonprofit organization with the sole purpose of protecting and promoting bowhunting. IBO uses archery events to help fund this mission, giving the host clubs the opportunity to enhance their revenue. The IBO puts back into the sport we love and is not a for profit business with a paid workforce.

As Pappy said, "If you win the IBO Trad World, you really won the World." And more importantly if you didn't win the World, you walk away knowing you shot a legitimate event, with every effort made to retain the integrity of the sport. You only shoot the championship 30 targets one day with your peers, and the final day 30 targets with your peers. All other shooting can be with family, and friends, as there are many fun, competitive & novelty events, including the Bowhunter Challenge course to enjoy. If you want to come out and fellowship with others the IBO Trad World has a place for you. If you want to test your archery ability against the best shooters in the world, this event offers that as well.

I agree with you ,Skunklady . I am looking forward to it .

Jim Powell and myself will be there.Bringing some Florida boys also.

I'll be camping there. They have a nice campground on site as well as cabins/cottages and two lodges. It's a beautiful state park.

God Bless.

Wojo14... As of 9:15 this morning there are vacancies in the St. Park campground. DWinVA, what site are you in? I’m in 7.

I will be there with some good friends, really looking forward to it.

I started the 2018 IBO Trad World Championship thread on Jan. 30th. This thread spells out Traditional. Check out the first thread for more info and a larger list of Leatherwallers planning to attend. I am Dave Moulder, aka Lost arrow, ( name given me by friends because I spend most of my shooting time looking for a lost arrow). I would really like to meet fellow Leatherwallers. I will be at the Christian Bowhunters of America set up part of the time. 73 year old, short, fat rather bazaar looking fellow. I live in Princeton and will be staying in the Park campground.

Lost Arrow-

Supposed to be 78 but my confirmation said particular sites may not be guaranteed.

God Bless.

Anyone staying at mountain creek lodge at the bottom of the gorge?

Bill, Nice seeing you at Cloverdale. Hope to be shooting with you Bill, and the other old guys.

I just booked a cabin in the campground so I will definitely be there!

I'll be there. Looking forward to it.

FYI...IBO Traditional has a new facebook page for the traditional information.

So far it looks like "I'm In"...room was reserved in Princeton last night.

Do you have to shoot all 3 days? I am not sure I can get there Friday. ~Wojo

No Wojo14, you do not have to shoot all 3 days. You do have to shoot at least one 30 target round on Friday or Saturday either at 8am or 11am check in, to get to shoot the final day, 30 targets on Sunday, @ 730am.

Well, I might only be good for Saturday. I was hoping to at least come and shoot for the day! ~Wojo

My vacation request was approved and my room's reserved! :)

https://www.facebook.com/events/2631055044 38595/?ti=cl

It's interesting for me to see that it seems there's more interest regarding this shoot on the LW than anywhere else and to say I'm getting excited would be an understatement. :)

HedgeHunter they just posted on Facebook that you can register Thursday evening and Friday morning at 7:00 am. They said they have a bunch of iPads so they can handle the numbers.

Yeah, I shot it several years ago. There was a massive thunder storm just before we were supposed to shoot. I was confident we were going to get struck by lightening.

I am focused on the 50m Target State Champs this coming Saturday, so I didn't want to go up there and not be able to shoot my barebow. After Saturday, all focus turns to IBO Trad Worlds.

Practice has been going well. Just hoping to shoot strong shots and score well. Excited to get two solid weeks in on the 3D range before Pipestream. New arrows to tune...

Good luck and good shooting to all who make it to this one. I'm thinking '2019, or bust!'

My big challenges will be...

1. Making the 12hr drive up and 12hr drive back...alone.

2. Traversing uneven terrain for 30 targets two days in a row.

3. Making it back home with all the arrows I left with.

But I highly suspect I'm going to have a great time no matter what the outcome of anything! :)

its not much of elevation changes( at least for Wv ) . You can always buy new arrows and the drive will be easy if ...Nope can't help you on that one .I hate long trips. :)

Yeah, the ranges at Pipestem will be flat as a pancake... well... compared to other ranges in WV.

:^)

M.P. & Jim...thanks as that's real good news for me and relieves some worriment on my end...I should get back to peddling my bike and taking my dogs for long walks...neuropathy sux.

I am confident they will be fun and challenging. I am driving over on Thursday, plan to register that evening and get a few shots in on the bales. I am excited to have nothing to do but shoot arrows all weekend - no other responsibilities ;-)

Looks like I'll be registering Thursday as well Jimmy...maybe I'll see you there.

Jinks, dont feel too bad. I'm coming from Miami, 100 miles south of you. Can't wait!

I dont know about the course but my lodge is at the bottom of a gorge and only accessible by cabe car. So dont be surprised if there are some hills.

Looking forward to it, Bill

Jinkster, make up some more arrows and let fly. Nothing like a quiver full of crisp new arrows ;-)

Thats a cool place to stay at the lodge at the river. Expect to see some deer while riding the cable car . I have shot the Spring Nationals and the 1st leg there in the past and its not steep. Its not Florida flat but definitely not steep.

It'll be an honor to finally meet you Jimmy.

13 days and counting before I head north meanwhile?...

This Thread Does! LOL! :)

Getting gear together and getting excited!

The countdown for me leaving home and heading north begins now...

10

How were the stakes for lefties Shawm? LOL!

Anyone know where the courses and shootdown areas are going to be layed out and located? Are they walking distance from Mckeever lodge?

Tom,

There are different parking areas in the park; most are fairly close to the ranges. During the 1st leg of the triple crown, the park ran shuttles. Getting close to where you need to go shouldn't be any problem at all.

9

I heard the ranges were close to the campgrounds and Nature Center.

8

It's getting closer! The "Big show" The "World Championship" hell, it's time with my friends! Another 3D shoot with an extra long commute! Oh and as far as 3D events go in a peer scored competition venue? The IBO Trad Worlds is by far my favorite event! No other event leaves you happily exhausted like this one! See you all next Thursday!

Are you camping Shawn? I'm at the park but in one of their hooches.

7

Can't wait. Lot's of fun to come at Pipestem. Get there for the Last Man Standing on Friday @ 4pm. Lots of prizes for all skill levels. Sponsored by CD Archery, Bob Lee Bows, Cedar Ridge Leatherworks.

Good deal BigStriper. You won't be disappointed. Looking forward to seeing Jinkster again.

:)

Oh man, I'm loving that Injun trophy! I have no idea what were doing, but I'll be there to shoot.

Shawn, I can drive it until Thursday. I'll get there that evening and be ready Friday morning. Could not make the club shoot tonight at Twin Oaks, but I was there at 0530 practicing. Here is a four arrow group at my 60 yard point on this morning...just checking tune with these shots (rights to lefts).

Oh, and I shot this on the chrono this morning

Many of you are traveling a long distance to Pipestem. I pray for your safety on the highways. They are repaveing a section of I-77 between the Va state line and Princeton. Expect some delays at the Princeton exit (#9) where. I-77 and Rt 460 meet. Mostly congested in the afternoon and evening. Be safe. I hope to meet some of you at the shoot. And welcome to WV.

Thanks for he heads up Lost arrow...my hotel room is in Princeton and I-77 was how I intended getting there.

I may have to rethink how I'm getting there and/or where I'm staying. :(

No problem Jinkster, you may be held a little longer at the traffic lights. I go into town a couple times a day and it just takes a little longer than usual. I see no need to change your plans.

Thanks...oh and?....

6 :)

Whats the new "Last Man Standing" event?

I'm so ready!!

A bud saw I had a cobbled together cushion plunger on my 650 Club and made me an offer I couldn't refuse....

A 17.5-23mm Beiter he said was a touch short for most of his risers but would work out swell on my spig and for $85 shipped?...I'm calling it money well spent and Thanks Richard! :)

5 :)

Awards for the two class shooters. 90 target total score on the IBO courses shot. Lots of shooting to be had next week!

The "Last Man Standing" is a new event compliments of the Traditional Bowhunters of California. It is great as any level shooter can participate and win prizes or cash. The host/MC will call a shot, if your arrow is in the called area, you move on, if not, you pay the pot to continue on in the game, say $5-$10, or whatever the host/MC calls. The host may call out of the ordinary arrow placement to win cash/prize etc. This will go on for some time, as archers will drop out, and soon it gets down to 2 or 3, maybe 5 archers, as the ante$$$ to continue, goes up. The winner will take all the money left in the pot, and other awards allotted. It is a big hit at Chamberlain shoot in California. So fun, the IBO wanted to have it at Trad Worlds.

4 :)

Had to make my CH rest IBO legal....my old leather strike plate was a tad too thick...problem solved. :)

3 :)

2! :)

It'll be great to meet you too Kurt! :)

I won't be a day ahead of you though...I'm leaving right after work Wed. and only running I-95 about 6hrs north and spending Wed. night in Savannah then heading 6-7 more hours north too Pipestem...hoping to be there about mid afternoon Thursday to look the place over but staying in a hotel in Princeton.

BTW....I just got off the phone with LW member "Lost Arrow" and the man has been a Godsend PM'ing me local/park info and directions.

It's nice to have a P.O.C. person when your 850 miles from home! :)

A friendly note to Jimmy Blackmon:

Be advised that the use of Injun or Injun trophy is offensive to at least one Native American.

And I am not crazy about the trophy, either. I hope the tournament Committee will consider changing it next year.

Success to all participants!

1! :)

Just checked the extended forecast for Pipestem. Looks like good chance of rain Saturday and Sunday, but 20 to 25 dregrees cooler than last year. I can live with that. :^)

Sorry folks...(and thanks too Mr. Casto for the heads up)...but I'm not willing to drop a grand on travel expenses and drive 1700mi round trip on the current weather forecasts.

My reservations and trip have been cancelled. :(

Sorry folks...(and thanks too Mr. Casto for the heads up)...but I'm not willing to drop a grand on travel expenses and drive 1700mi round trip on the current weather forecasts.

My reservations and trip have been cancelled. :(

I chose the native American trophy for the Last Man Standing event, as a display of superiority, valor, and honor. I knew this trophy would be given to the winner of the "Last Man Standing" event who was highly skilled in archery. I have always held native Americans as honorable and superior, and give them utmost reverence. I have tokens of beautiful native American feathers, dream catchers, and beading on my quiver as well. This was never meant to be at all offensive, and I hope whomever wins this will proudly display it.

Hey Bill... don't blame me. I'm planning to be there even if it pours--I don't care. That's what umbrellas and parkas are for.

You know what they say about excuses.....

:^)

Please leave the PC at the door when you enter. :^)

I'm still coming up from Miami. Can't wait!

I'm not blaming you Jim...I'm thanking you.

The decision part was all mine to make and I hope the forecast is wrong and you all have a wonderful time.

Jinkster, I am so disappointed...I was planning on seeing you.

Tell me about it...I still feel like puking over the decision but I'm not to keen about driving 850mi north into a 3 day rainstorm and for y'alls sake I pray the forecast is wrong but I ain't risking it. :(

A chance of rain and people ain't coming??? There's always a chance of rain...lol

Dewayne

Packed and leaving tomorrow at 5:30 a.m.

We know what shoots we attend every year, and go regardless of weather reports!

My mojo will chase the rain away! See you there.

Safe travels everyone.

God Bless.

Leaving today. Rain or shine I'm there! A little rain never hurt nobody. I'll take the temps that's for sure!

I won't make it fellas. My father passed away. Heading to Georgia.

Sorry to hear it Jimmy. I'll pray for your family.

Sorry for your loss

I will have plenty of snakeskins for sale if I make it,, just look for the guy with the tatoos on his head,,thanx

Sorry about your Dad Jimmy

My condolences Jimmy, sad news.

You have my sympathy Jimmy.

So sorry to hear about your Dad Jimmy. May your memories put a smile on your face and warmth in your heart.

sorry for your loss,jimmy

Indeed...sorry for your loss Jimmy and also sorry we won't get to meet at Pipestem. :(

sorry bout your loss man, was lookin 4word ta meetin you this weekend, another time.,.

I made it safely to WV, 912 miles. Looking forward to the weekend.

Way 2 go longshot!...I hope you all have a Great Time! :)

Rain or not, it should be fun. Pipestem is a nice looking place.

longshot....it looks gorgeous up there...I was looking at Pipestem images on google last week and was blown away at all the streams and mini-falls...enough so to call the wife to come see where I'm going and trust me...it tore me up to bail out as I was really looking forward too it...and needed it but am not in sound enough health to worry that much about driving that far alone...maybe next year...meanwhile I pray the forecasters are wrong and you all have a great time of things! :)

What is the maximum distance of orange stakes, can't find it in rules.

Orange: 30 yards

White 25 yards

Terrible weather in West Virginia

Thanks!...Glad to know my prayers for everyone there got approved. :)

Any scores yet. Just wondering who is leading RU?

Chris...I bet kenn is going to do well...besides he's shooting with my bud Dassie.

Went there today to pick up a BLOB target. Weather was perfect while there, mid-60s and overcast. Arrived 0830. Left at noon. Several vendors there. Scores were posted, but I did not take too close of a look. I had a truck full of peeps and no room for bows, so we vendor shopped and came back home. Had no means to protect our bows from the predicted weather. It never did rain on us. Oh well.

Weather has been fabulous. Got to meet Mo0se and HedgeHunter today... along with several other folks. It's been great.

btw... HedgeHunter if you want to see my name with any scores just look at the bottom of the list.

Great day to shoot! I also got to meet a few Leatherwaller’s today. Hung out with Lost arrow too. I’m fortunate as that park is pretty much my back yard. I live only minutes away. I hope to shoot again tomorrow morning pending the weather. Here is a quick snapshot at one of the targets. The short ugly dude on left is me.

Man, oh, man...I hate to miss this shoot. Y'all have a blast!

Let's hear it fellers!..who took RU, Trad and Sr. Trad?

where's the pix?

Oh and congrats too kenn r. for placing in the Hunter Challenge! :)

Just heard Joel Turner took 3rd in RU with his longbow.

Over the years, I’ve been to several Traditional Rendezvous’, local shoots, and state shoots. Since I semi-retired the last couple years I’ve taken in our states IBO circuit and the Traditional World shoot last summer in Clarksville, TN. I don’t shoot very well and most likely will never compete with anyone, but I do like to shoot and meet new folks.

I can honestly say this IBO Traditional World shoot at Pipestem was the most enjoyable archery related weekend I’ve experienced. I tip my hat to the IBO for a fabulous weekend, at a fabulous venue with PERFECT weather to boot and from my perspective, all the events went off like a well-oiled machine.

I couldn’t believe the weather; the forecast was for rain all day Saturday and Sunday. No rain at all Fri. and Sat. and it started to sprinkle today, but only as the last shooters were leaving the range. Temps were in the upper 60’s in the mornings and mid to upper 70’s during the day. I guess that's why they call it, "Almost Heaven, West Virginia."

:^)

Jinkster,

When I left the top scorers on the list were:

RU: Chris Spikes

STRD: Paul Reginaldi

TRAD: Randy Irvine

I'm not sure if everyone's cards had been posted.

Thanks Jim...I was rooting for some folks to do well and praying hard the weather held out for everyone...looks like both were answered. :)

The weather was fantastic all weekend, never got a drop of rain until we walked off the range today. It was one of the best events ever. Everything went as scheduled and things were ran to perfection. What a great crew of people! Thanks to everyone that pulled it off. Hope we do it again here next year.

Alpha-It was great to meet you, had a blast shooting together!

Does anybody have names of winners? Curious to see how my buddies did this weekend.

Thanks, Kurt! Good shootin', BTW!

Had an amazing time. Kurt is one hell of a shot i can tell you that much. Hope to see yall again next year.

I spent Friday and Saturday in the venders tent at the Christian Bowhunters of America table. I had a sign asking for Leatherwallers. I want to thank all of you guys and gals that stopped to say hello. All TWO of you. That being said I still pray that everyone has a safe trip as they return home and hope they enjoyed their visit to WV. I have more about the shoot to share but I’m too choked up to continue.

Hookman's picture has a squatch in it I'm pretty sure but I can't tell which one it is.

Thanks Kurt, it was my pleasure. The other gentleman that introduced himself lives about 60 miles from me. He may come to one of our 3-D shoots.

No info yet on the IBO site about classes and scores.

I can't get on facebook, self imposed limit there, could someone copy and paste off of that? Would love to see how it played out this year.

Congratulations to Lee Wilkins for taking is in men longbow beating out Dave Wallace and Dwayne Martin

Outstanding shooting, I take full credit for telling you to drop that split finger stuff and go to 3 under 5 years ago lol

Well done man you smoked them xo

Gee, thanks Dana lol! Had a great time at a beautiful venue. Can't wait to go again next year!

Sounds like it all went well, glad the event went smooth and sounds like yall got lucky with the weather. Wished I could have made it.Congrats to all the winners. Pappy

If you're a Facebook user, there are a lot of good piuctures on the 'IBO Traditional' FB page -

Where will the 2019 shoot be held? Same place or ??

Same place. Two year contract.

Same place next year? How was the camping? Was there more that nough room? Do you need to reserve spots?

~Wojo

Same place next year? How was the camping? Was there more that nough room? Do you need to reserve spots?

~Wojo

Wojo,

Same place next year; I didn't camp, but the camping area was next to the registration and vendor area. Looked to me like there were several spots available so you wouldn't have had to reserve a place this year. Campground looked real nice to me.

I heard there were more signed up shooters than last year. The shoot down was not in the vendor area like last year .I thought it was a fine tournament for sure.

So you can camp right at Pipestem park and there is a private camp ground close? Is there hook ups at Pipestem?

~Wojo

31 full hook-ups, 19 electric, 32 no hook-ups. 82 total sites.

Anybody know the dates for next year?

Don't miss it next year, it was conveniently set up with easy access and the ranges were easy to get around and woods was very clean.

Hated to miss this year, but it's on the calendar for 2019!

Thinking about it hard for 2019. I won't be hosting a shoot in late July ;-)

It was a very nice setup, beautiful place. I'll definitely be back next year.

What longbow did Joel use? I like the big meaty riser.

~Wojo

It was nice meeting you Jim Castro, hope to see you there again next year!

This is the first year I can remember the Hunter challenge course being more difficult than the Championship course. I had a great time! Weather was perfect! I'm with Hedge Hunter, I've never seen an orange stake in front of a white stake before.

Lol I’m with ya they were trampled! I still had a great time! One thing I’d like to see discussed is moving the Championship rounds to Friday and Saturday. The long drive home on Sunday is brutal! My mental game was off the first 30, wish I’d had the same mental day I had on the Hunter Challenge course over the two Championship courses. Managing the mental game is the only way to be successful at these events.

All scores are posted on IBO International.
