Turn a scorecard into a practice you can learn from. ArcherScore brings arrow-by-arrow scoring, two-stage rounds and a personal range journal together on iPhone and iPad. Start with a 300, 600 or WA 720 preset, or build your own format. SCORE EVERY ARROW Record 10-zone scores with separate X counts and misses. Undo an entry, correct an earlier end and return to an unfinished round. Custom formats support up to 12 arrows per end. SEE BOTH STAGES Score a 720-point round as two 360-point stages. Follow each stage separately while keeping the combined total in view. Compare equally sized stages once both are complete. PRACTICE WITH A PURPOSE Set a score goal and see what remains achievable from your recorded arrows. Keep your focus, range conditions and the adjustment between stages with the session. FIND WHAT WORKED Search your scorebook by round, bow, focus or notes. Filter completed and unfinished rounds, review trends and keep bow setup, arrow and sight notes close at hand.
