FOBS in 3D

n2bows · 02-03-2009, 03:33 PM

What is everyones opinion of using FOBS on a 3D course? If you put an arrow in the 12 or 14 with a FOB on it, then everyone else is taking a big chance of getting kicked out by shooting at that particular 12 or 14.

I'd personally make it a point to bust them up given the chance.

.not a fan of them in 3D...jmo..

I should have worded the question better. Do you think that FOBS should be allowed in 3D tourements?

I say no...and I would make a point to shoot at them as well

I say "If you got em then shoot em". I see no problem with someone using them. But some have to have something to complain about.

i have used fobs in tons of 3d shoot and have never had a a big problem with deflection most of the time u will go right into the wholes in the ring i have seen worse deflection using pin nocks now how many of you guys use those in 3d i bet its alot of you

Shoot 'em if you want to, you paid for them and it's your right to have them busted up as you see fit.

I personally don't care if you shoot them. If your fob caused me to get a lower score on one target, I have a feeling that you won't be using them too long, because they will be busted up.

You may just find that FOBs are a lot more flexible than you think. They will not deflect an arrow like a pin nock will. I have had three arrows inside of one FOB on a forth arrow and not broke the FOB on that had the other inside of it. Putting an arrow inside another arrows FOB is called a ringer in fob language.

I dont think i would shoot them for 3-D IMO

bullfiddle · 02-03-2009, 09:15 PM

I don't think they should be allowed on a 3D course...

hutchies · 02-03-2009, 09:20 PM

If you got'em shoot'em................If I bust one don't get upset you gave me a dang good mark. Some people also hate pin nocks.........I've heard a ton of guys that say they should be outlawed........As well as black vanes, black nocks................................

That's a different conversation

J.A.G. · 02-03-2009, 09:24 PM

can't say. I've never shot them, but would like to try them for myself sometime and see. I have never even seen one in person.

I like them and encourage all the better shooters than myself (everybody else) to use them! A bright FOB can be a real aid to the shooters coming behind it, as it gives them a nice visible point to lock on to..

I know if Ty is on the course, I'm aiming for the Flo.Green FOB!!!

hunter2678 · 02-04-2009, 07:27 AM

I wouldn't have a problem with them in open class...but since there are vane restrictions on Hunter and Adv hunter classes there should also be on FOBs then.
