But the "Groups" are a GNAS scheme, which does not coincide with FITA. Now, as an archer moves between FITA age groups only on Dec 31st (unlike GNAS, which uses birthdays) Girls who are 16 (ie GNAS U/18) may shoot the Cadet FITA so long as it is still in the year of their 16th birthday. Hence it is avalable to some in group C, albeit only the younger end of 16-year-old girls.
And with a single bound he leaps free of those who accused him of error - for now.
I'm so glad you cleared that up! Have I ever accused you of error I ask - te he..
