Another Fita Question...

[tel]

The SCAA have resurrected the interclub tournament for next weekend and are shooting a Fita 900 - can anyone tell me the format? I know the number of arrows and distances but is it shot in sixes or threes, bouncers or not, one or two details....you know the sort of thing!

Shot in 6's. Mark the target where the arrows hit and then bouncers and pass throughs are allowed.

Cheers!

Shot it today and I was made to shoot in 3's in 2 details. Won the recurve section. Beaten by 65 points by a compund for top score. A bit wet and windy.

shooting 3s? On a FITA round? Ho hum.

From what I gather the interclub used to shoot a made-up round (the 'Somerset'?). Although they have now decided to shoot a recognised round, it is essentially about getting new archers into tournaments and so is quite relaxed - I guess anything is possible.

My sone and a friend (both 10) decided at the 2nd club night last week to shoot a Short Warwick (too bored of hitting the gold I guess). They then decided to shoot a Short Junior Warwick (fed up of not hitting the gold). I was then asked Dad what sort of round is 2 dozen each at 50, 40, 30 and 20 yds?

We decided it should be called the "Malvern Muppet" round....remember you heard it here first!

Is the 'Malvern Muppet' ten zone or five zone scoring round?

Knowing our pair it should probably be something like 7 zone (modified 10 zone, 10, 10, 10, 9, etc) just to be funny.

They shot it as 5 zone, so we should stick with that. Then anyone else who puts in for a record claim will be the same.

I think they may also try and stipulate that you have to be 10 years old, and your first name starts with a J, but I think that might limit this fantastic new rounds appeal....
