OK, I admit it, I'm fairly new to this whole archery thing. I haven't even competed yet. I'm not a club member at the moment. Etc, etc, etc. Hopefully this will change soon.
However, I cannot find a definitive explanation of GNAS and FITA men's and women's indoor/outdoor rounds. I've searched on the board, but I've only found bits and pieces. I've looked on the FITA site and couldn't seem to find anything. The GNAS rule book pdf won't open. Robbo's spreadsheet is great because it lists loads of rounds, but I don't how many dozen arrows are shot at what distance (unless it's clear from the round name). You've got Half FITAs, Herefords, FITA 28, Bristol V, etc. That's a lot to remember!
And then I wondered about rankings. Are most UK competitions GNAS rounds? Do you need to search out FITA rounds to shot to get that ranking? Barry C pointed out that his club only shoots FITA rounds to be in line with the rest of the world. My head is spinning. Am I making this more complicated than it is?
Maybe I'm thick, maybe there is something here or online that I've totally missed. Maybe I'm experiencing information overload and my brain has completely shut down. If there is something out there that I've missed, please point me in the right direction. If not, I think it would be a handy resource to have on AIUK. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to have a definitive list of GNAS and FITA men's and women's indoor and outdoor rounds.
Thanks for letting me babble and not laughing at me. :blush:
