Jeff,
No offense and I hope I didn't cause any. It took me many years to learn to think before I speak........Now I have to learn to think before I type.
I have shot many LSBA shoots and some of the biggest ASA shoots, when I saw scores @ unknown distance that would have blown away any known distance shoot I have ever been to I was just taken aback a little. (I am truely impressed by a score 4 points shy of perfect in a 3D round)
I understand and agree with what you say about 4" feathers slowing the arrow more than short vanes....I just have not experienced this until the range exceeds 30 or 40 yards. Its just that in the last few years the only Org I have seen with a 4" feather rule or screw in tip rule is IBO, and this is the only reason I don't go to IBO. I see no reason to change my set up or make special arrows just for their shoots. Heck, even my fixed blade hunting arrows don't use 4" feathers any more.
Cheers.
