New Committee

Late­ly there has been con­ver­sa­tion and ques­tions in regard to dif­fer­ent “ploys, gam­bits, maneu­vers, devices” archers are using to assist them in class­es oth­er than Bare­bow. We know there are many archers that need help with cer­tain issues such as anx­i­ety, pan­ic, and accu­ra­cy, and Bare­bow is designed to help all archers achieve their goals. There are tru­ly some inter­est­ing argu­ments in regards to the term tra­di­tion­al, but as an orga­ni­za­tion we must pro­mote fair and equi­table com­pe­ti­tion and not cre­ate an arms race. We must be mind­ful of the integri­ty of tra­di­tion­al archery and have respect for our fel­low archers. The I.B.O. has cre­at­ed an over­sight-protest com­mit­tee to ana­lyze and respond to any issue that may arise. They will serve as a protest com­mit­tee at our events and an advi­so­ry com­mit­tee to the I.B.O. Board of Direc­tors for tra­di­tion­al archery. The com­mit­tee mem­bers are Levy Bryant, Mar­tin Head, Mark Lyn­de, Dewayne Mar­tin, Randy Irvine, Cory Gul­vas, and Bill Curlis. These mem­bers will work dili­gent­ly to make the best deci­sions in the inter­est of tra­di­tion­al archery. Thank you…
