Archery competitions are metric.
This is the second year that our county's schools have participated in the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP). And it's the second year that the high school students have taken the championship in the state. More than 80 TN schools participate in this. Our high school students will go on to the national competition in Louisville KY in May. The elementary and middle school students have also placed well.
The students shoot 15 arrows from a 10 m distance and 15 arrows from a 15 meter distance for a total of 300 possible points. It tickles me to see that the two shooting line distances are measured in metric. Quoting from the NASP homepage, "The program’s focus is to provide International Style Target Archery training in physical education classes grades 4 - 12." I think the key word here is "international".
