What a complete load of tosh.
I, and many others on here, can make a damn good job of 100 yds, but still prefer FITA rounds.
Imperial rounds no longer have any relevance to any other tournament format shot anywhere other than in the UK. FITA is a standard recognised worldwide, not just by the narrow sectional interests of
GNAS. A FITA round offers more variety, a far more enjoyable shooting format (none of that 3-arrows-and-off nonsense) and is a much more sociable event too. It gives results that can be compared to those shot by anyone else, anywhere else (without recourse to handicap tables), and, to cap it, Fita results can be used by those of us interested in achieving international selection. Now, perhaps you'd like to tell me again that I can't shoot 100yds?
