Accuracy of index program

There seems to be a disparity between Index and the tables in the AA handbook. e.g. 277 for 18m with inner 10 in your program = 103.4. The AA tables give a rating of 93 for a Fita 1 of 554 (277 X 2). A Fita 1 is of course 60 arrows as Clare would point out :D . Is one of these sources wrong?

Tony,
I think my calculation is correct.
I agree that the FITA round is 60 arrows, but I have done the calculation for 30. I could easily change it if desired.

Thanks for reinforcing this Tony - glad to note that someone has read my comments!! :lol: :roll:

P.S. And I would place money on me being wrong compared with Jim!! :(

I will amend the program to have a FITA 1 (and 2) of 60 arrows, and add the Australian 1 and 2 to the AA list of rounds!!!

The 30/60 arrow issue is a minor quibble.The ratings disparity between your program and the AA tables is the point of concern. Should the AA tables be recalculated??

Tony,
Agreed, they should be redone.
Actually, my intent in writing the program is that it should be easier to use it than to look up the book.
