Olymipic Compound ...

as well all know, compound isnt in the olympics (IIRC) because its too "similar" to recurve. Not sure how all the sailing or rowing events differ but lets let that slide for a minute.
reading the Bow International this month theres an article on the subject which mentions a radical (if as yet under explored) solution to overcoming the sameness to recurve.
the solution? ... using the urban park constructed for 3 v 3 basketball, bmx and skateboarding as a setting for an urban field shoot!
this is pretty out there given the other two ideas are 50/60m or even indoor but you have to admit ... it is pretty fascinating. My favourite setting for the pro archery series supported by Alternative Archery is Fort Van Lier where a WW1 fort is shot off, into, over, through and out of!
You have to love the idea of an urban field course even if the danger of an equipment failure/terrible cut on a 45' uphill shot to a target on a roof gives you the shivers and mental image of a carbon express nano on a ballistic path into a spectator area.
Anyone else like the idea? (of the urban field shoot, not the ballistic nano! :duck:)
