About time we joined the rest of the world and shot mainly proper rounds. Leave the yards and imperials to the longbows.
Hmm.... isn't 9,7,5,3,1 known as "Princes scoring" or something like that? My memory seems to be that this was laid down during mediaeval times (100yrs war I think?). So, if I'm right on that, then it's been around a long time, so people really ought to be used to it by now!!!

And as for which round do I prefer, that's easy.... Big Game....
