I have a suggestion for a rule amendment. It goes like this:

When posting pictures of your targets, post as much info about your setup as reasonably possible, ie distance, target diameter, bow type etc. If you're looking for advice, be as specific about your gear as possible.

Reason for my suggestion is that a lot of the time posters will leave out this info, but still be looking for advice, or to show off I guess, when posting a picture of their target. I mean a spread of 50cm at 18m with a compound bow isn't that impressive - not that there's any reason to discourage the archer. But was that a 15cm spread instead, at 70m, with a bare bow, then that's pretty darn impressive.

I like to give constructive feedback, but I know next to nothing about anything but recurve target archery.

Back on December 24th, I wrote the mod of this community, [email protected], suggesting this rule ammendment. It's been two and a half week and I haven't heard back. I also noticed when writing the mod, that the account haven't posted or commented anywhere in a year. So now I'm trying the community instead. I have no idea what we need to do to actually implement the rule, so I'd thought I'd give democracy a shot in the meantime.
