ArrowNotes vs CM Archers Setup

ArrowNotes grew out of practice – out of the wish for an app that lets you record arrows without detours, without distraction and without rigid rules. In training or in competition: a few seconds after the end should be enough to note the result and get back to shooting. That is what ArrowNotes focuses on. The app deliberately avoids clutter, yet gives you a solid basis for analysis, evaluation and structure. Many features are already there, others are added step by step – with the goal of making ArrowNotes a powerful but still clear companion for archers. The free version of ArrowNotes is fully usable and contains all the essential features for recording and analysing training and competition – no subscription, no running costs. Available in English, German, French and Spanish. Rounds & ends - Create rounds with different templates, target faces and diameters - Record arrows on the target face (with markers), on the keypad or from a photo - Add matches within a round, for example to record a competition - Automatic scores, averages and hit rates - Record freely without limits: no fixed number of ends per round.
