## What is CM Archers Setup?

Archers Setup is the digital bow passport for archers. It records how your bow is set up, which arrows you shoot, which sight marks you have shot in – and above all what you changed and what the change actually did.

It answers two questions every archer eventually asks:
What is currently set on my bow? And what have I changed since?


YOUR BOW, FULLY DOCUMENTED

Riser, limbs, draw weight, draw length, brace height, tiller, nocking point, plunger, string and stabilization – all in one place. Depending on the bow type the app shows only the sections relevant to you: recurve, compound, barebow or traditional.

The tiller difference is calculated for you. The string is its own item with make and install dates, so later you know whether it is bad or just old.


SIGHT MARKS WITH INTERMEDIATE VALUES

Every mark has elevation, windage and extension – with detents or a free scale. Enter only what you actually shot in. Everything in between is calculated linearly and clearly marked: shot-in values green, calculated values orange. A shot-in value is never silently overwritten.

For field and 3D, type any distance and get the sight value together with the marks it was derived from.


COMPARING SETUPS

Two versions of the same bow or two entirely different setups side by side, differences highlighted. You see at a glance what changed between two states – or bring a second bow up to the state of the first.


A STRING YOU CAN REBUILD

Material, strands, twists, length and start of the center serving, loops and end servings. Enough to serve the next string identically instead of searching again on a tuned bow.


SETUP VERSIONS INSTEAD OF OVERWRITING

New string, different draw weight? Duplicate the setup. A new version is created with all values while the previous state stays untouched. Months later you can still look up what was set back then.


CHANGE LOG WITH RESULTS

Record every change with old value, new value and reason. Evaluate it later: improvement, deterioration or no noticeable change. The app reminds you when a change is older than two weeks and still not evaluated.


GUIDED TUNING

Paper tune, bare shaft, walk-back and French tuning – explained step by step with goal, procedure, observation, result and photo. Every tuning is stored as a project and stays traceable.


ARROWS WITH A HISTORY

Arrow sets with spine, length, point weight and FOC. Individual arrows with number and status: active, conspicuous, damaged, retired. Document observations with date, distance, group pattern, photo and consequence – what looked like coincidence becomes evidence.


TOOLS

Six calculators: FOC, arrow weight with the ratio to draw weight, actual draw weight at your draw length, spine estimate, brace height via twists, and units.


A BOW PASSPORT TO TAKE ALONG

All technical data compact on one page, exportable as PDF. Ideal for your case, for your coach, or for the day a limb breaks two days before a tournament.


COACH AREA

Switch your role to coach and the coach area sits right at the top of the dashboard: manage athletes, view their setups, keep dated notes and compare two archers. Received data is read only – the athlete maintains it. All bow passports can be exported as one PDF, and everything stored about a person can be exported or deleted completely at any time.


PART OF THE CM APP FAMILY

Archers Setup uses the same exchange format as CM Inner Archer, CM Archers Coach and BSB Score. A shared athlete identifier links setup, score and video analysis. Sharing happens via AirDrop, mail or messages – no server involved.


YOUR DATA STAYS WITH YOU

No account, no sign-in, no mandatory cloud, no analysis on someone else's servers. Fully usable offline. Export as PDF, CSV and a complete backup including photos.


ALSO INCLUDED

• iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape
• German and English
• Light and dark mode
• Dynamic Type and VoiceOver
• Built-in manual
• Demo setup to try things out

Made by an archer for archers.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2 — 2026-09-21

COACH AREA
• Athletes are now records of their own, with setups, notes and origin.
• Clear separation: the tabs show your own data, the data of athletes you coach lives in the coach area.
• Received data is read only and marked as such – the athlete maintains it. To try something out there is "Copy to my setups".
• Delete athletes, with a confirmation that states exactly what goes.
• Duplicates are detected when adding and in the list; two athletes can be merged, optionally with a backup first.
• Data export per athlete as CSV – everything stored about that person in one file.
• All bow passports of your athletes as a single PDF, one page per setup.
• A hint when an athlete has not sent an update for months.

DATA EXCHANGE
• A setup sent again is updated instead of duplicated. Every state is recorded with date and number.
• Several files can be read in at once, with a summary at the end.
• The file type identifier for .cmx was corrected so files reliably open in this app.

ALSO
• Setups without an athlete are marked and can be assigned individually or all at once.
• Manual reworked: coach area, deleting, merging, data export and the changed import.

As always, all data stays on your device.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-21

NEW
• Setup comparison: two versions or two bows side by side, differences highlighted. Optionally differences only.
• Extended coach area: a page per athlete with profile data, setups and dated notes, plus a comparison of two athletes.
• Sight with three values: elevation, windage and extension – with detents or a free scale.
• Full string documentation: twists, length and start of the center serving, loops and end servings. Enough to rebuild a string identically.
• Tools: six calculators for the shooting line and the arrow bench – FOC, arrow weight with gpp, actual draw weight at your draw length, spine estimate, brace height via twists, and a unit converter.
• AGF button checker: its own value on the plunger.
• .cmx files now open directly in the app – from Mail, Messages, AirDrop or Files.

IMPROVED
• Input fields respond to the whole row, not just the text. No more aiming.
• The numeric keyboard can be closed with "Done" or by swiping in the content.
• Manual completely reworked: 16 chapters with step-by-step procedures, overview tables and practical notes.
• Manual and info are their own areas; settings is now called that too.

As always, all data stays on your device.
