Really? I've not yet come across one which isn't moving to 50m for my fellow (still a novelty, go with it) compounders. Rivernook, Surrey and Oxford are all 50m.bimble said:As the majority of 720 shoots are still at 70m
They're both early shoots and the forms might be a while old. Rivernook did the same but then re-issued the form stating they'd have to switch to 50m to maintain their WRS.bimble said:Both the Andover Gemini and Southampton H2H are at 70m (according to the entry forms) and both are WRS. And the National Series are also at 70m.
Therefore, in order to offer equal opportunities for both compound and recurve archers to compete at the same event for this season at least it is proposed that the 70m qualification round and eliminations and finals in sets are retained for compound archers. A dispensation for doing this is being sought from FITA. It is recommended that where clubs have already obtained WRS for their events entry forms should state this but there should be a note that this may change following a decision from FITA. Clubs are obviously free to stage the new 50m competition if they so desire. They should however inform Archery GB that this is their intention.
It should be noted that the 70m round when shot by compounds will not be eligible for World Record Status, but it will be UK Record Status. For recurves the 70m will remain at Word Record Status level.
This will also lead to a change in the Ranking Criteria for the 2011 season, being that 70m UK Record Status rounds will be allowed. There are other changes being considered at this point in time. Details will be confirmed as soon as possible.
I suspect the aforementioned details relate to how to allow WRS 50m rounds into the rankings. The score levels are of course similar but not identical.bimble said:I found on he GNAS website:
But then, it could be anything, knowing GNAS
So I'll have to find some H2H rounds then - anyone 'oop north recommend anything?three FITA Stars, two 720 scores and it used to be two H2H events... initially the score was included in the ranking, then when the Set System was introduced it was just the case that you had shot in them. I assume that it's still the case.
Ah, I emailed them on 16 Feb and got this reply from Bob. I hope he doesn't mind me reproducing it here :-sAssuming they've made their mind up... I might give Pam Tonkin an email tomo, she organises the rankings so if anyone should know...
there is one late on at orrel, the h2h section of it is not rs though, i thinkSo I'll have to find some H2H rounds then - anyone 'oop north recommend anything?
