Become the archer who knows exactly what their arrows are doing - and what to do about it before the points have gone. Level Up is the whole training system I use with my own athletes, in one app: scoring, plotting, bow training, breath work, kit, sight marks and more. And you don't start from zero - import years of rounds from MyTargets, Artemis, Archery Scorepad, Archery Scoresheets, Archery Success, Expert Archer, Golden Records, Archr.net or Rise, and carry on from where you already are. WHAT YOU GET • Plot every arrow — the exact position stored, not just the score • AutoPlot - photograph the target and it plots the arrows for you • Your last 12 arrows against your whole round, so you catch your group drifting mid-session • Any round: target, indoor, outdoor, field. World Archery, Archery GB, IFAA (and request any missing) • Classifications and handicaps worked out as you shoot • Shot timers, bow training, breath training • The OLY System - my daily physical preparation framework and accountability system: a little of every domain that matters, every day, held to account • Sight marks that learn from every venue you visit • Your kit logged down to individual shafts • A delayed camera that replays your shot seconds after you take it • XP and levels across 14 skills • Works with no signal WHY PLOTTING Most archers never notice their group drift. They score, they think they're in the middle, they keep shooting — and the points have already gone. Level Up shows you the drift end by end, while there is still time to move your sight. FREE TO START Scoring and plotting any round - target, indoor, outdoor and field - plus importing your history, session history, XP and levels, streaks, personal bests and the plotting course. All free. Paid adds grouping and shaft analysis, sight mark prediction and slope compensation, training load, and the full bow fitness system. WHY I BUILT IT Thirteen years of individual international medals, and just as long spent working out how to keep producing them. Every method and system I have refined in that time is in here, the OLY System included. Level Up is all of it distilled into something I can put in far more hands than I could ever coach one at a time. I'm Patrick Huston: two-time Olympian, British #1 recurve, and a coach. Download Level Up and start seeing what your arrows are really doing.
