FITA Indoor Rounds
These rounds are defined by FITA, archery’s international governing body. 10-zone scoring is used and they may be shot using full-size faces or triple faces which which do not extend beyond the 6 ring. When using triple faces, one arrow is shot at each face in an end of three arrows. The Match Round is always shot on triple faces.

GNAS Outdoor Imperial Rounds
These rounds use 5 zone scoring (Gold 9, Red 7, Blue 5, Black 3, White 1). The furthest distance is shot first so, for example, if you were shooting a York you would shoot 6 dozen arrows at 100 yards, then 4 dozen at 80 yards, then 2 dozen at 60 yards (then probably go to the pub).

GNAS Outdoor Metric Rounds
Like the indoor rounds, 10 zone scoring is used. Again, the furthest distance is shot first so a Metric I is 3 dozen at 70m, then 3 dozen at 60m, then 3 dozen at 50m, then 3 dozen at 30m. Note also that 122cm faces are used for the long distances (70m and 60m in this case) and 80cm faces for shorter distances (50m and 30m).

BUCS and BUTTS
Published: 1st March 2012
The BUCS Indoor Championships were held at the Telford International Centre on 18th February. Birmingham’s experienced team (Sarah Russell, Jack Bryant, Allan West, Mickie Green) were one point shy of 2200, finishing in seventh place (out of 41 full teams of four) and bringing home BUCS points for the university. This was a great improvement on last year’s 11th place finish with a score of 2164. The novice team (Allan West, Eloise Cornish, Andrew Cottrell) shot a score of 1523, giving them a fifth place finish. Individual medals were picked up by Sarah Russell (Experienced Ladies Recurve Bronze), Jos Sarsby (Experienced Ladies Barebow Gold), and Allan West (Novice Gents Recurve Gold). Meanwhile, Nottingham put an end to Edinburgh’s decade-long domination of BUCS, setting a new team record of 2298 and a new experienced gents record of 591 for Andrew Randall. Six of the top seven experienced teams were from BUTTS League clubs, once again showing the exceptionally high standard of the league.
The fourth BUTTS Leg was held on 25th February, with Birmingham playing host to Warwick, Loughborough, and Derby. Individual medals on the day went to Jack Bryant (Experienced Gents Recurve Silver), Mickie Green (Experienced Ladies Recurve Gold), Sarah Russell (Experienced Ladies Recurve Bronze), Eloise Cornish (Novice Ladies Recurve Gold), and Alice Fawdry (Novice Ladies Recurve Silver). Birmingham’s experienced team (Jack Bryant, Mickie Green, Paul Griffin, Andrew Iles) scored an impressive 2204 to finish in second place amongst the teams at Birmingham and fourth place overall. The team are in fifth place in the league, separated from fourth and sixth place (Loughborough and Cambridge) on aggregate score. The novice team (Eloise Cornish, Alice Fawdrey, Joe Ingledew, Andrew Cottrell) fared less well, shooting a season’s worst of 1876 to finish in fifth place. They have now been knocked off the top spot in the league by Loughborough, and Cambridge are close behind. The BUTTS Indoor Championships will take place on 17th March, with all teams competing at Loughborough.
