World Target Champs-more divisions,more medals...more more

[Freeman]

Another whisper going around is that the world target champs could become an event where multiple world champions are crowned....such as the fita round world champion, match play world champion, team world champion, pairs world champion, mixed pairs world champion....ect ect

So basically, the odds of medalling would be higher and achieving sponsors for the national body would be greater...."we came back with 6 medals and 3 world champions"

I think it would be a move in the right direction

[Marcus]

I think that would be great. When you compare archery to swimming we get screwed because our archers get 2 shots at gold, and a tougher system to work through too. The swimmers can get around 9 shots at it.

[Clare Barnes]

That would be a great move, and I think it's more likely to occur than compounds at the Olympics.

Recognising National Target Champions as well as having the Matchplay Champions is something AA has got right. :D

[Coghlan]

Agreed, that sounds great! :D

[James Park]

Yes, very sensible. Good marketing.

[The One]

Sounds good. I can see a future for the mixed pairs, but something like a doubles I would presume to be a bit close to a 'team'.

[Freeman]

Mixed teams could be a man and woman shooting together(compound/compound) or a Male recurve with a male compound

You aren't talking about our conversation during that fishing trip with Barnzy and Matt, are you Clint? I thought what's discussed in Croatia stays in Croatia !!

:)

You going to Antalya? I will find some proper bait this time. Although I do recall catching a 24 ounce Bass, with no bait, come to think of it. (Or maybe it was a Beck's, 'twas too dark to read the label.)

[Freeman]

Yeah, I will be there.....with fishing rod in hand and something cool in the other :D
