Most archery apps do one thing — score a round, or calculate a sight mark. TotalArchery builds sight tapes from your setup's real physics, walks you through tuning, times your arrow with just your phone's mic, scores your rounds and matches, and gives you coaching that's tailored to you — all in one place instead of five separate apps and a notebook. SIGHT TAPES Generate a real ballistic sight tape from your bow and arrow's actual numbers, not a generic chart. Calibrate it in the field, print it, and get angle cuts and wind holds alongside the base distances. CHRONOGRAPH Get a real arrow-speed reading using nothing but your phone's microphone — no separate hardware chronograph to buy, charge or carry to the range. TUNING Walk through initial setup, paper tuning (it reads the tear straight from a photo), bare-shaft, walk-back, yoke tuning and broadhead, plus safety checks, in order, so you always know what's next. The new Broadhead check compares a group shot with field points against one shot with broadheads and tells you what to adjust. SCORING, MATCH PLAY & ROUNDS Score target, field and 3D rounds with real ASA/IBO zones, and mark exactly where each arrow lands. Multi-distance rounds — Windsor, St George, Albion, National, Western, WA 900 and WA 1440 — move you to the next distance and face size for you. Match play runs head-to-head with World Archery sets for recurve or a running total for compound, with shoot-offs. Turn any score into an Archery GB handicap, and print targets and blank scorecards. GROUP ANALYSIS Every arrow you mark, from any target, goes on one standard face, so you can see how tightly you group and whether it is getting tighter. The new Arrow consistency tool finds which numbered arrows keep flying away from the rest. VOICE-GUIDED PRACTICE Fourteen guided routines — warm-ups, back tension, bow-arm hold, target panic, shot rhythm, cool-down and more — are read aloud by a calm narrator with an animated figure that shows each movement. Prop the phone up, press play, and use your voice to pause or continue. COACHING Get a coaching note or ask a question in plain language, grounded in your own scores, active bow and recent tuning. Guides and hints adjust to your experience level, from first-time shooter to advanced. FORM CHECK & DRAW-CYCLE ANALYSIS Photo or video form checks catch what's easy to miss in person. Film the whole draw from the side and it splits the clip into phases — stance, draw, anchor, release — scoring each one separately. Delay replay shows you your own shot a few seconds late, so you can see your form without a camera operator. SHOT TRACKER Mount your phone on the bow or your body and record the draw. Get a stability score for how steady the hold is, instead of just a feeling. GEAR & PROFILES, IN 3D Every bow, arrow and accessory lives in one place, pre-filled from built-in catalogs of 130+ bows and 100+ arrow shafts. No match? Enter a few dimensions and TotalArchery builds a real 3D model. Build an arrow from its parts to see weight and balance, and keep a bow odometer with service reminders. EVENTS & CLUBS Tournaments from ASA, IBO, NFAA, USA Archery, World Archery and more, sorted by distance. Find real clubs and pro shops nearby too. For target, 3D or hunting — the tools aren't tied to one discipline. An account is required (keeps your data backed up and synced across devices; the app still works offline day to day). Start with 7 days free, no card needed, then another 7 free days when you subscribe (14 in all). After that it is $23.99 per year — manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID subscription settings.
