## What is BowSmith?

Bowsmith is the complete companion for competitive and recreational archers — score your rounds, tune your equipment, and watch your skills improve, all in one place.

SCORE EVERY ROUND
Arrow-by-arrow scoring for 15+ official formats — Vegas, World Archery (1440, 720, 18m), NFAA, Lancaster, club indoor and outdoor, IBO, ASA and NFAA 3D, IFAA Field, league night, and fully custom rounds. Running totals, X-counts, and end-by-end breakdowns are tracked automatically.

TUNE EVERY BOW
40+ guided tuning workflows walk you through paper tuning, walk-back, bare-shaft, French tuning and more — across bow, arrow, sight, rest, stabilizer, and string. Few apps go this deep into equipment setup.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
Rich analytics turn your sessions into insight. Track score trends over time, compare equipment, and spot what's actually moving your game with clear, interactive charts.

MANAGE YOUR GEAR
Keep your entire setup organized — bows, arrows, sights, releases, stabilizers, strings, and chronographs — with health indicators so you know when something needs attention.

PLAN YOUR TRAINING
A built-in calendar keeps practice, competitions, and tuning sessions on schedule, so you always know what's next.

STAY MOTIVATED
Unlock achievements and take on challenges that reward consistent practice and exploring every feature.

SYNC EVERYWHERE
Your data stays in sync across iPhone and iPad with iCloud, so your scores and setups are always with you.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, dialing in a new bow, or shooting your first competition, Bowsmith helps you train smarter and shoot better.

Track every arrow. Tune every bow. Score every round.

### 0.8.1 — 2026-07-01

What's new in this build (0.8.1):
 • Sight Tape, reworked — the old single calibration session is now two purpose-built sessions: a Precision Cut–guided Calibration that coaches you through collecting the right data for all four Precision Cut sight-in methods, and a separate Sight Tape Validation session that proves a printed tape holds up across distances.
 • Unified Bow Setup — your bow's whole configuration (bow + sight + string + rest + optional stabilizer) now lives in one named "Bow Setup" you can pick in a session, instead of assembling pieces each time.
 • Fix: selecting a Bow Setup in a session's gear assignment now works everywhere (Practice, Tinkering, and all competition formats) — previously it could block you from starting the session. If you have bows but no Bow Setup yet, the gear picker now offers "Add Bow Setup" to create one on the spot.
