Even though the same target faces are used in most regions of the globe, some regions have added their own bit of spice to the mix, therefore the growing list of Regional Archery Disciplines enable you to use those specifically for your region. Easily switch Disciplines Each discipline has its own set of rules and target face designs, select your discipline and start scoring. Group your Practice and Competition shoots separately Lock your Sessions to prevent accidental changes To be extra safe you can backup all your shoots to iCloud, save a copy of your score sheet to the file system or share via social media, email and printer. Search function Looking for a particular shoot or number of shoots is easy with the search function, search results can then be used to view statistics of those selected shoots. Search for one or multiple archers. Coaches will appreciate this function as they can monitor the progress of each individual archer they are training and compare their performance to choose the right archers for the next Olympics. Multi-Archer Scoring Create a shoot for up to 4 Archers at a time and record the scores simultaneously, easily. Each archer will have their own statistics and score sheet at the end of the shoot. Enter your score via NUMBER PAD or TARGET FACE Use the Number Pad for quick scoring and the Target Face for VERY ACCURATE placement of arrows. Good for squeezing out that last bit of tweaking. For the 'TARGET FACE' choice, please note there are no animal pictures at this stage, scoring is on concentric rings. Create custom Session/Round types Archery iX comes packaged with most Session/Round Types to get you going quickly. If the Session/Round type is missing - Simply create it. For Coaches - Create multiple archers This App is great for parents or coaches who have multiple student archers under their wing and would like to keep track of their performance. Get comparison statistics to see who is ready for the next big competition or the Olympics Record your Bows and Arrows Add your equipment which can then be attached to the score sheet for later reference.

Arcus handles the maths — you focus on the shooting. Supports WA target faces (40cm, 60cm, 122cm), Vegas 3-Spot, ASA, and IBO formats, with accurate ring scoring and X-ring tracking built in.
