FITA 70m ?

[GreenSteve]

when reading this forum i keep coming across reference`s to a FITA 70m round
and have been wondering how many dozen arrows etc this was
i`ve looked through the links etc and found that the round consists of 6 dozen arrows shot at 122cm face
what i cannot find is what classifications can be earned on this round
ie. 3rd 2nd 1st class bowman ? ? ?
any chance of being enlighted pleeease

its 6 doz at 70m then followed by a head to head - usually

the 6 doz is used as a qualifyiny round so 1st place shoots against bottom.
2nd shoots against 2nd to bottom etc

[Furface]

The round itself is just the 6-doz - the H2H element is additional.
It's sometimes referred to as a FITA 720, though that is also used to name the 60m equivalent which has been introduced as a ranking round for cadets. Confusing, aint it! Why cant they have sensible names like the "Oberammergau" round/

Yes, thats what the classification tables in the GNAS Shooting Administrative Procedures document say. (which can be found here :http://www.sportfocus.com/reguser/dy...fm?number=2910, starts about page 45)

Also, junior boys and junior girls can achieve Junior Bowman.

Don't forget that you can also claim FITA Awards for this round as well (another badge ). It doesn't matter what bow type you shoot its just based on score:
White = 500, Black = 550, Blue = 600, Red = 650, Gold = 675, Purple = 700.

but if you claim one on one discipline, you can't claim the same one on a different discipline

Good point I'd forgotten that. Also, I think the FITA awards can be claimed for FITA indoor rounds (18m, 25m) and a half FITA (not seen that shot anywhere yet). So, if you get a badge for an indoor round you can't claim the same colour badge again if you shoot the equivalent score for the outdoor round.

How do you get these? CAn you just ask your club or does iit have to be at a national scoring event? Can I now get a nice White badge (514) to go alongside my range of MooCows?
