Title: Need help with wording
Post by: Badger on February 08, 2015, 03:11:41 pm: I am writing up for the flight blog a preliminary draft of the rules. I need words to describe classes and divisions.

regular flight/ tradtional flight= divisions?
weigth classes=class"
type of class- self, composite, complex composite= class?
style of bow class= class"

I would like to use the words division and class to apply to only one area so I need 2 more names for two other classifications or someway to identify it.

BTW. Do we need to be an 'open' style, such that a weird and wonderful wooden bow that doesn't fit into any other category can be lumped in?

Traditional is more defined into styles.

Class: Used to distinguish male/female, youth, seniors
Division: Used to distinguish the equipment category, such as longbows, compounds, recurves, etc.
Event type: Is the combination of Class and Division. For example, Youth 50# Primitive Self Bow.
