ArrowNotes

Read full description

ArrowNotes was built from real-world practice – out of the need for an app that lets you record arrows quickly, without distractions, and without rigid constraints. Whether in training or competition, a few seconds after each end should be enough to capture your results and refocus on shooting. That is exactly what ArrowNotes is designed for. The app deliberately avoids unnecessary complexity while providing a solid foundation for evaluation, analysis, and structure. Many features are already available, with more being added step by step – all with the goal of turning ArrowNotes into a powerful yet clear and focused companion app for archers over the long term. The free version of ArrowNotes is fully functional and includes all essential features for recording and analyzing training sessions and competitions – no subscription, no recurring costs. Rounds & Ends - Create rounds using different templates, target faces, and diameters - Record arrows via target face (with markers) keypad or photo - Add matches within a round to record competitions - Automatic scores, averages, and hit rates - Free recording without fixed limits: no predefined number of ends per round – ideal for training sessions of unknown length - Save, edit, or delete ends - Filter by type (training/competition), location (indoor/outdoor), and time period - Currently supported target faces: WA/FITA 10-ring, WA/FITA 5-ring, WA/FITA 6-ring, WA/FITA 3-spot, WA Field, WA Field 3-spot Competition and Matches - Olympic set system (2/1/0 set points) and cumulative compound scoring - Individual, team, and mixed team—six WA formats - Set scores, set list, and winners at a glance, including tiebreakers Statistics - Ring distribution in percent - Ring distribution by number of arrows per ring - Average score per end - Number of arrows (recorded, manual, and total) - Filters by time period (week, month, year, custom), type (training/competition), and location (indoor/outdoor) - Trend visualization - Access round-specific statistics with a swipe - Shot pattern analysis per round, including deviation and average spread Equipment & Setups - Manage bows, limbs, sights, arrows, and accessories - Save multiple setups per bow - Store sight settings per bow-sight combination and distance - Currently supported bow types: Recurve, Barebow, Compound, and Longbow Arrow Counter - Manually record arrows outside of rounds - Daily tracking of recorded arrows - History with daily totals that can be deleted if needed Timer - Fully configurable timers with preparation, shooting, and warning times - Optional haptic and/or acoustic signals Apple Watch Integration - Use your Apple Watch as a remote control - View the latest round with all ends - Record a new end using the keypad - Edit or delete existing ends - Set up and start the timer - View round-specific statistics - Arrow counter for manual arrow tracking Sync & Backup - Local storage with optional iCloud synchronization - Data export and import via file Settings - Customize language, appearance, distances, and templates - Choose target face, keypad or photo as the default input method - Light, dark, or system appearance
