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?

Right On Adam!! I agree 100%.
We'll miss you at Lilleshall next week.

Family commitments - you know how it is. And I can't afford the divorce if I go to Lilleshall instead.

What about Variety

Given the question was imperial or Metric. Having both gives more variety and flexibility . I haven't as yet shot a H2H but the preference will depend on where and when I am shooting.

Gloomy September evenings FITAs 6 doz 90/70m by 20:00 hrs it can be hard to see, so the flexibility to shoot New/Long - Nationals/Warwicks and still post scores beat that . Sunny? Weekends we get to chose Yorks/ FITAs. None of the poor old foreigners get to choose so the small parochial GNAS has more choice!

Just remember the when there is fog in the channel it is the rest of the world that is isolated and cut off
