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.
