[Archers] ATLatl discussion and rules completion

Woops good catch! I was thinking 80cm but if the community feels it would be better to use the 122 I would be all for it. God knows if it was triple that size, I couldnt still hit it! :)

Just for clarification.  Are we talking about using the 80cm or 122cm 
FITA target?   There isn't a 90cm face, and I'm assuming that we don't 
want a 90m face.  (That would be hard to back ;) ) 

FITA faces come in 4 standard sizes (You can see many of them here: 
http://www.lancasterarchery.com/targets/archery-targets/target-faces.html?manufacturer=2102) 

* 40cm (used in the winter shoot) 
* 60cm (used in Royal Rounds) 
* 80cm 
* 122cm 

Previous discussions that we had had on AtlAtls 'way back when'.   Was 
talking about using the 122cm face. 

The 80cm face: 
http://www.lancasterarchery.com/maple-leaf-ta-80cm-fita-target-face.html 

Is awkwardly sized for our use.  It's bigger than the 60cm, but not 
'much', and won't fit on any backstop/butt easily. 

The 122cm face: 
http://www.lancasterarchery.com/maple-leaf-ta-122cm-fita-target-face.html 

Has some very good benefits to it.  It is essentially 4ft x 4ft 

Which means, that it's VERY easy to set up as a target (I've used them a 
bunch in doing clout shoots).  As all you need to do, is go buy a 4x8 
sheet of blue or pink foam.   Cut it in half, double it up, and add the 
face.   Done.   A few reflector poles or wooden stakes on the side and 
duct taped to this, and it's easy to setup/tear down. 

Add cardboard sandwiches, if you want it to last longer.
