Thats because the guys have to take it easier during the shoot, because they know they have to help the ladies move their targets
Getting back to OBs original point though I can see the inferance that some judges were not too nimble on their feet nowadays. The thing is there aren't too many of them about, so most TOs have a limited selection. Judges are required to go to the targets as well to resolve disputes. And as
GNAS has opted out of the FITA ruling on arrow value changes, as we are not trusted to get it right, so the judge has to go up and down the line as well.
With the current lack of judges available I can't see somthing being introduced where a judges ability to walk 90m in x seconds, but it really should be a requirement, especially for WRS and BRS events.
