Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons. There are far too many different classes anyway! to the point of it been in my opinion pathetic.

A compound is a compound end of story, whether you shoot with fingers or release aid it is your choice no-one if forcing you. I shoot field, but because I use a release have to go in the unlimited class, even though I do not use a scope, "my Choice" as I cannot be bothered moving the sight up and and time wasting (in my opinion) like some who do, not all though, must emphasise that.

I also shoot on occasions a Longbow and now my new toy a Grozer Hun bow, so lets now take this class system to its extreme. My longbow I have to shoot with one finger above the nock, my hun I can shoot with all fingers under the nock but only in XYZ catagory.

How about I learn to shoot the Hun bow the traditional way which is using my thumb, no fingers at all, can I have a seperate class just for me please sir, because its not fare that I have to shoot with these other people. Oh by the way I wish to sit on my horse while shooting as well! as the Hun bow is a horseback bow, as I said PATHETIC.

Everthing I shoot is my personal choice, if I don't like it tough, I will change. As the old saying goes 'If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

I will just add I am not a member of GNAS as they have too many stupid nit picking rules & reg's, the one that really gets up my nose is dress, I shoot a bow for the sport of archery and enjoyment, not to join a stupid fashion parade.

Right all that said I will now sit back and wait for all the flack to come back in my direction, been a Yorkshire man though I say what I think and if anyone out there does't like it. "TOUGH".
I suggest you take serious note of my signature statement.
