Just trying to get idea on what class to shoot in. What do you think will be the most popular classes out there this year? what are your thoughts?

I figure hunter the k 45 and 50 and the. Open a..b…and c will be the most crowded.bow novice will have a good turnout as well.if and when word gets out to the Asa clubs around we may get some more shooters showing up and that may get some of the other classes to fill up.

That has been the million dollar question so far.
I want to shoot in the class with the most shooters. At the end of the year last year k40 was a good class. It is the biggest class next followed by k45 in ASA.
K40 /open C or K45 for me.
Lets keep this going.

I will be in open B Smile
Hopefully after our first shoot Feb 7 & 8 everyone can get an idea what’s going to be popular.

I think I’ll start in the hunter class. This is all new to me, and its confusing. Personally I think there are too many classes for bha. ASA has a lot more shooters and can fill all the classes, but that’s neither here nor there, just my opinion. Hunter class is probably a good place to start and observe and see where the big boys (like Honaker) are shooting and decide from there.

I think people will gravitate to a class where they can compete with friends and the classes will work themselves out…

Not that difficult for me. I will only shoot as good as I will shoot. The class doesn’t hurt me unless I let it. It’s all in the mind and then it becomes an excuse. My point is find where you are comfortable. Who cares if you shoot 4 or 5 different classes of various yardage to find where you fit in. I personally don’t care if there are 100 classes . It’s not a big deal if 1 person, 300 people or no one shoots a particular class. What if restaurants worked that way? You would only have a couple of things to choose from. Yeah you may be able to remember the menu easier. I’ve only been around a short while but it seems to me that gearing your “business” toward the most customers makes sense. Seems like some have “identity crisis” between BHA and ASA. Maybe the changes won’t get more folks to join BHA or come to club shoots. Then change it until we find what does make more people join and turn out. We may find that it doesn’t matter what we do and that other factors have a role (which is my belief).

That is deep.

I think that Lance may be smarter than the rest of you guys. haha
