About

Nockapp

Features
Read full description

Nockapp is a training log for archers who want to know why the score moved. Score any round. Fifteen rounds built in — WA 720, WA 1440, WA 900, WA 18, Vegas 300, Portsmouth, Bray I, NFAA 300, National, Windsor, York, Hereford and more — across ten-zone, imperial five-zone and NFAA scoring. Multi-distance rounds change face and distance for you. Build your own round when your club shoots something the book doesn't list. Plot the arrow, not just the number. Tap where each arrow landed and Nockapp works out the score from the position. That gives you group size, extreme spread, and where your group is actually sitting — the difference between a sight adjustment and a form problem, which a bare score can never tell you. Keep the bow that shot it. Brace height, tiller, nocking point, plunger, centre shot, stabiliser weights, cams and let-off. Sight marks from 10m to 90m in one table. A tuning log that records what you changed and what it did, so you can get back to a bow that worked. Train to a plan. Four periodised blocks built on how archery coaching actually works — blank bale, SPT holds and reversals, volume ramps, then competition simulation. Tick off blocks as you go and log arrows and effort. Ten drills explaining what each one fixes. Watch it change. Score trend by round, arrow average, weekly volume, group size over time, personal bests, and a miss map of your last hundred arrows. Keep track of where and who. The venues you shoot at, the clubs you shoot with, and challenges you set yourself — scored automatically from the rounds you already log. Built for the shooting line: high contrast for bright sun, oversized targets for cold hands, and everything stored on your phone. No account, no signal needed.
