This is a problem, that will be solved in version 2. In colour too.

It's based on as many arrows as you care to enter. Again, version 2 will allow you to calculate full, multi range & face size, rounds

Quite right, but then again, do your competition nerves significantly affect your scores?? If so then you need to practice something that is not your physical technique. FullMonte may give you the answer. It might even prove that the weather really does affect your scores!

It's a tool. It lets you work out if things are really different, or it was simply luck. It can help compare competition scores to practice scores. It can't do anything about your archery skills, besides helping to tell if some identifiable factor is affecting them.

Thanks Hopefully the next version will be of a little more use to you, but if it isn't I'd be interested to hear from you (or anyone else) what novel analysis might be of use. (I'm not going to recreate TargetPlot or Accurate Sights for example, those are worth paying for).
