ARCH - general questions

[Bob Dewart]

Acutually the real reason is that the GTs can be gleaned from the field and
shot again, while the wood  / fiberglass must be reinspected before being
shot again.  While shooting a GT from a 30 lb bow is OK, a GT shooter
shooting a wood / fiberglass arow with a 40 or in other places a 50 lb bow
could be downright deadly.  The extra power could shove the arrow right
threw the vision slots of a helm.  That's the reason they aren't  suspose to
be on the same field.  However, they sure are at GW, aren't they.
