At the end of the day, I don't suppose it really matters WHAT measuring system you use, as long as you are consistent in its use. If your group wants to play that one hex equals a meter, and my group wants to play that one hex equals a yard, it's going to be just fine for each of our groups.

The real issues always crop up when someone insists on analyzing everything for "realism's" sake. If you can avoid that sort of rules lawyering, then the actual total number of inches/centimeters covered in a 42 hex bow-shot really do nothing to add to the game. Hitting someone at 42 hexes is a good (or lucky) shot in TFT, and that's all that really matters.
