I recently attended the world barebow championships, where I was shooting a Hoyt Helix. It was only at the end of the shoot that the judges had decided to disqualify me on the grounds that my bow wouldn't fit through the official metal ring they have. Surely there should have been a kit inspection at the beginning of the tournament, being a world record status shoot. We have a couple of new members in our club who have bought this bow, only to find that they can not shoot it barebow in competitions. I think that either a)archers should be aware that this is the case when buying a bow or b)the rules should be reviewed for this kind of bow. I also wanted to know if anybody else has had this kind of problem when shooting at competitions.
Thanks.
Thanks.
