It is a valid question and one that I have no answer for. On one hand, I can see where the "leadership" picks young people for their athletic abilities but, on the other hand I wonder as you do whether there are better options for some things. Shooting would be another area where I would think that experience is better than youth but, I'm no expert.

College may be the last Bow venue where competitive opportunity exist thereby being able to decide whose qualified and at what level .
Are there any venues held after college to decide who is the best ?
