Just out of interest I intended to shoot a ladies fita for?a comparison, but in the end i only managed a long metric (a half fita 70m + 60m)</p>
It was windy and the trees were blowing about, it was also raining and I had already shot 120 arrows with my 48# practice?recurve.</p>
But I still managed 605 for the ladies long metric, this compared to my best score for a mens long metric (90m + 70m) of 539 shot last month on a perfect summers day with no wind. My competition bow is now at 41# a weight that many good?women can manage. </p>
My conclusion is that mens and womens scores ane not comparable, and for a given womens score, it would take a male of much higher skill to equal it. i.e a man who can shoot 1200 is much better than a woman who can shoot 1200. I think the difference becomes smaller at?the highest level but still exists.</p>
Has anyone else shot rounds for the opposite gender who can make an eduated comment? </p>
Hopefully this will not turn into a sexist arguement. By comparable scores I wish to include 90m male and 60m for?female. So comparing a long metric or a whole fita.</p>
