However, I tend to agree with him.

There were 12 classes last year that averaged under 20 shooters per class.
Five where youth type classes.
Three were ladies classes.
The other four were, Limited, Crossbow, Traditional, and Sr. Masters.
Does anyone really think they had a strong voice? They were created so family members could have something to do or they were throw back classes to the old days.
I simply think ASA is missing out on a large group of shooters. The over 50 age group of men is LARGE and they seldom travel alone. They have the finanicial means to travel, they love archery, and they already have the equipment to shoot in a bowhunter type class. But, they are tired of competeing against young men with good eyesight and steady hands.
Even though there are many more archers shooting pins in the world, ASA basically has 4 classes for adult pin shooters, Bow Novice, Hunter, Unlimited, and Women's Bowhunter.
And us old guys would probably bring family and friends that would increase numbers in the other classes. I don't see a down side at all.
