I believe that the NFAA adopted to add a 12 " stabilizer for traditional class? Is this being adopted by the SCAA also?

[dgchumley]

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been on the board in several days. I've been playing with Lincoln Logs , play dough and the like Yes, the SCAA has adopted the NFAA rule for a 12" stabilizer in the traditional class, however, it was left out of the rule book. Thank you for bringing this up.

Actually it is in the book style/class list, but it it also list a longbow class in addition to the traditional class. Is there now a longbow class seperate from traditional?

[dannihink]

In the new bow hunter class do you have to have fixed pins or is that just for the novice classes?

Right now you do not have to have fixed pins for any class except "Fixed Sight Release" which is a 50 yard max. class.
