WHY IBO AND FITA AT BLUE LAKE EVENTS?

There are two very good reasons for this type of event.   

1. IBO qualifiers are only 40 targets. Here in the Western States we have to travel a lot further than IBO members on the East Coast to qualify for the IBO World Championship. In place of a one-day shoot or having a fun shoot on one day I’ve added FITA.
    
2. Why FITA? JOAD, There are a lot of youth that shoot JOAD and do not have the advantage or exposure to the IBO. I believe it to be very important for the JOAD and Collegiate archers to compete in IBO. IBO has an excellent collage benefit for the youth that the JOAD shooter should be aware of. At the IBO World Championships, the youth receive: 1^st place a full two year scholarship, 2^nd place five terms, 3^rd four terms, 4^th three terms, 5^th two terms and 6^th one term. First they must qualify at an IBO world qualifier to receive an invitation to the World Event. Although there isn’t a FITA class in the IBO there are corresponding classes that a FITA can fit into.
    

RULES FOR THE EVENT 

During the IBO portion of the event, the IBO rules and classes will be followed. There is not a dress code for the IBO.  

During the FITA portion the FITA rules will be followed. Since this part is shot in yards, this year instead of meters we will not include the dress code. The 60lb max on the compound bow will be enforced. 

IBO portion; for the top 3 places of each class there will be a silver cup awarded, and the plates will be mailed latter with the winners name. The top 20 of each class will receive in the mail an invitation to the IBO WORLD. So it is very important to make your name and address very legible. This invitation has a special seal on it that can be read to weed out any counterfeits    

FITA 900 round; Will be in shot in yards not meters. There will be a silver cup for the top three shooters of each class and the name plates will be mailed with the winners name.  

GOLD CUP WINNERS 

ADULTS 

The gold cup winners are our overall winners of those archers that participated in both portions of the event. And the highest combined score will be known as the State Champion. There will only be one champion be it male or female. There are gold cups for   2^nd  place and 3^rd place highest combined scores.
