About

TargetOS

Read full description

Most apps are digital scorecards. You shoot, you total, you're done. TargetOS is built as a small operating system for your archery data—so what happened on the line becomes something you can actually train from. What that looks like beyond the score: • Arrow-by-arrow logging with optional mental/physical ratings and notes • Impact / miss plotting and arrow heat-map style review so you can see group patterns, not just a number • Consistency tracking—where points drop, when they drop (late ends, distance changes, fatigue), not only the final total • Live concentricity-style feedback from photos after each game, scored by % • Structured practice paths and goal-oriented training blocks (not just "start a blank scorecard") • Blind / blank-bale support for form work when the rings shouldn't be the focus • Photos of faces/groups, setups, tuning-oriented flows • Interactive bare shaft tuning guide, with your setup notes saved on the device so you can check them anytime—or restore what worked after a change • Precision Cut Archery sight marks on the scorecard — import your PCA marks so yardage/sight info is right there. No app-switching mid-round. We don't do cuts or ballistics; you still use Precision Cut for that. TargetOS just brings your marks into the log. • CSV export for coaching review, spreadsheets, or long-term history • Offline-first: no account required; data stays on your device unless you export it • Same scorecard pattern across disciplines so Field, Vegas, ASA, and World Archery all feel familiar on the line • Running score bubble and optional per-end totals without leaving the card • Equipment setups saved with your sessions so bow/arrow changes stay tied to the data • Live weather data plus date and time stamped on sessions • Metrics that surface which bow you shoot best, common arrows dropped, and where those drops happen • All of it filterable so you can focus on what matters for your next tournament or competition Faces and formats in this build: • NFAA practice (Vegas, 5-Spot, Outdoor Target) • Field, Hunter, Animal • World Archery (18m, 50m, 70m, WA Field) • League / competition-style sessions alongside free practice ASA 3D (expanded): • Delta McKenzie and Rinehart targets available in dropdowns—not a generic "3D target" label • Current ASA classes in dropdown so the round is logged the way you actually shoot it • Course / multi-target flow built for real 3D days • Guessed yardage vs actual (where you use it) so ranging skill is part of the data, not just the score • Realistic target plotting so impact location and miss patterns mean something on animal targets • Session data that rolls into metrics with the rest of your archery log Stabili-Track (requires the separate Stabili-Track motion sensor): • Hold Steady tracking—left/right and up/down steadiness during your hold, not just a subjective feel • Cant tracking that self-references to your own hold, not an external zero, so it stays accurate regardless of how the sensor sits • Draw Lab—build a personal baseline from your own best draws, then practice against it instead of a generic target • Settle and peak timing so you can see how long it actually takes you to settle into the shot • All of it feeds the same Metrics dashboard as the rest of your sessions—one filterable history, not a separate tool
