- A new proposal
to ADD
and Open Class for the Traditional Rendezvous was discussed. This

strike plate, plunger and stabilizer.
- A flipper or small elevated rest with NO
plunger i (ie..New Samick with stick-on rest) is not "Open
Class".

disadvantages of "Sparkle Bows".

"Open Classes".

make the determination for a bow to be classified in "Open
Class".

ALLOW for use of Sights. Traditional Bows with Sights would not
be allowed.
