Senior Known

[carlosii]

I have to stay in Senior Masters unless Doctor Dorite also switches too...

[carlosii]

Jake, you may be right. I think a 65 and over known class might just be the ticket. I'm never going to finish on the podium so why do I continue to shoot unknown where I wind up losing an arrow or breaking one because I'm a lousy judge of distance? I can finish at the bottom in SK as well as I can in SM. I enjoy the company there in Senior Master, but I'd probably find the company in known senior to be about as interesting.

I'm gonna have to give this more thought...after all...ALL the targets aren't set at 45 yards.

Well, after my first taste of the SK I'm delighted. I really didn't shoot that well, but that being said, I missed finishing in the money by one target where I set my sight wrong. .............. Make no mistake about it, I love the class but it would be a bit more competitive for me if I didn't have to shoot with people 25 years younger than me. Looks like I've found a home in the Senior Known. Now I have to start bagering Mike to see if he could split the SK at say 65 and older or somewhere close. ................ I'll never go back to judging because my eyeballs are not wide enough to compete in classes where you judge yardage!

Mine ain't either...but I can't shoot that class cause my bow won't shoot that far.

One thing about Senior Known, it levels the playing field for those who have eyeballs that ain't very far apart.

Jake, we sure will be missing you in the Senior Masters class, You were there since it started, and we shot Super Senior before that. I'll be looking for you to give some of those young whipper snappers a few lessons as to how it's done.

[carlosii]

I'm bettin' you're right Jake. Lots of folks who live in the frozen tundra like we do do't have the chance to practice on targets like the boys down south. While they're shootin' animals we're punching paper or hibernating.

Good luck on your move. Hope you show 'em some old guys can still deal out a lickin'.

Other than the fact most us old 3D'ers tend to get a bit violent at the mere mention of "known distance" and 3D in the same paragraph..... Why not?

Maybe I'm off the mark and only a small fraction of us that are of Senior status aren't terrified of change.

Before any one starts throwing stones I'm just "discussing". I know there are already a LOT of classes. I know there is a limitation to how many courses can be set at tournament. I understand some folks have animosity towards Known distance 3D in general.........

I just wonder if "Senior Known" wouldn't draw some folks back that have the time and a maybe a little money to spend.

Wonder why this particular post has had so many views??

Could it be because there is actually more interest in a Senior Known Yardage than some of us think? ........... Just wondering! ((((((( 559 views! ))))))

If they were interested they'd speak up.... Of course if they spoke up they'd get ridiculed.... So 6 of this and half dozen of that.

[C.Roberts]

Could it be that Older and Jaco have been monitoring those other 59 views quite regularly . Maybe there could be a new class (MEDIOCRE MASTERS) for those Sr Masters who consistently score higher than Claude, and would automatically be moved up. That would give lots of geezers recognition. (lol)
