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?

Come on Adam, admit it, you just can't do 100yards.......That extra 1.4 meters is too much for you

Seriously though, what you have said here is 100% correct. As I've said before imperial rounds are for longbows
