GNAS Rounds
York,
Hereford and the Bristol rounds are all organised by GNAS and the distances are
all in yards, the York round is shot by gentlemen over 100,
80 and 60 yards you
always shoot the furthest distance first, you also shoot more arrows at the
furthest distance 6 dozen arrows (72), 4 dozen
arrows (48) and finally 2 dozen
arrows (24) a total of 144 arrows.
The Hereford is traditionally a ladies
round but gentlemen may shoot it. The distances are 80 yards, 60 yards and 50
yards, you shoot the same
number of arrows. The Bristol rounds are shot by
juniors over a variety of different distance depending on their age. The scoring
for these rounds as
with all GNAS outdoor rounds is Gold 9, Red 7, Blue 5, Black
3, White 1 and a maximum score of 1,296 points.
There are special tournaments
organised called Rose Award Tournament at these tournaments archers
can claim a badge if they score over
800, 900, 1,000, 1,100 and 1,200 points you can only claim one badge per
score and cannot claim a badge for a score already shot i.e. you
cannot claim a 800 badge if you already have a 900 badge.
FITA
The FITA range of rounds are
organised by GNAS for FITA the distances are in meters, the Gents FITA
round is shot over 90, 70, 50 and 30
meters, the Ladies FITA is shot over
70, 60, 50, and 30 meters, junior archers shoot Metric 1 to 5. As with the
GNAS rounds you shoot the
longest distance first, unlike GNAS you shoot
the same number of arrows at each distance 3 dozen arrows (36) a total of
144 arrows.
Unlike GNAS rounds where you shoot
the same face all day at FITA tournaments when it comes to the 50 and 30
meters the faces are
replaced with smaller 80cms faces. Scoring for these
rounds is different from GNAS as each colour is divided into 2 scoring
zones and so
Gold 10 & 9, Red
8 & 7, Blue 6 & 5, Black
4 & 3, White 2 & 1. The maximum score for a FITA round is
1,440 points.
As with the rose award you can
claim badges for shooting a FITA round 1,000, 1,100, 1,200, 1,300 unlike
rose awards you can claim
FITA Stars as they are known anywhere in the
world.
