It might also be that the 80cm face shot at 50mts and 30mts is not of a relative (proportional) size to that of the 122cm face shot at 90mts or 70mts. I think that is right...I should know...I make the damned things.
The volumetric difference between an 80cm face and a 122cm face is 52.5%. so therefore it lends to the percentages being different over the distances....I think...and my brain is beginning to hurt.

So's its only your brain hurting and not mine does that mean it is proportionally easier at the shorter distances or harder? (Size wise I mean, not distance!)

A 122cm face at 70m is roughly proprotional to an 80cm face at 50m. It's actually exactly equal to an 87.14cm face at 50m, or an 80cm face at 45.9m.

In that case, 50m scores should be less than 70m, but the extra drift and distance associated with 70m balances it all out, I'd guess.

Some work needed

90 m = 23.75%
70 m = 25.13%
50 m = 25.13%
30 m = 26.51%

90 always can be improved but I need to work on 30 m as I should be shooting 355 and not 345, might just be tiredness at the end of a shoot

I didn't shoot too many FITAs last year, mainly Herefords, but here's my breakdown:

70m 23.5%
60m 25.5%
50m 23.9%
30m 27.0%

Lots of work was required and that's what I've been doing over the winter, but I'd be interested in seeing how that compares for other (compound) ladies.

Seriously though - is it only me that doesn't record distance or dozen PBs? I've shot Yorks and Fitas quite regularly over the last couple of seasons and only really take note of the final score. Same indoor, but recently a couple of archers that joined from elsewhere keep talking in terms of 'dozen' or even 'half-dozen' scores - even shooting in three arrow ends!? Apparently this was the way they had been taught, conflicting strongly with the 'whatever' approach I was used to.

Ermm no you didn't, the individual percentages should add up to 100% or thereabouts.

Mine, recurve #38 ACE 620's

90m 17.3%
70m 26.7%
50m 24.4%
30m 31.5%

Could definitely do with some work on my 90m.
