Archery Score is the precision logbook built for serious archers. Photograph your target, tap each arrow to score it, and watch your performance data build over time. Track sessions by day, monitor your consistency with trend charts, and stay sharp with World Archery news — all in a clean, distraction-free interface. Whether you shoot recurve, compound, or barebow, Archery Score gives you the insights to train smarter and compete with confidence. Manual-First Scoring After shooting, open the app and photograph your target — or import from your gallery. The image opens on a full-screen canvas with up to 8× pinch-to-zoom. Tap each arrow to place a colour-coded marker, then pick the score from a simple picker. Gold for 9–10, red for 7–8, blue for 5–6. Delete or adjust any arrow at any time. Your records are always exactly right. Session History Every round is stored on your device, organised by training day. The home screen shows your recent sessions as day cards — total rounds, arrows, and score at a glance. Tap any day to review each individual round with its target photo, arrow count, and average score. Records are private, local, and always available offline. Goal-Aware Dashboard Three KPI cards sit at the top of your home screen. The third card adapts to your goal: Consistency percentage for archers focused on shot routine, Best Session score for those training for competition, or Average score per arrow for general training. Set your goal in onboarding and the dashboard recalibrates automatically. Performance Trend Chart A 7-day moving average chart shows your mean arrow score over the current month, with a shaded band tracking your standard deviation — your consistency envelope. Narrow band means repeatable scores. Rising line means you're improving. The chart appears once you have at least three training days in the month. Shot Heatmap See exactly where your arrows land. The Shot Heatmap overlays your arrow positions on a live target and builds a visual grouping map over time, so you can spot patterns, track consistency, and understand where you're winning and where to focus. Flip between session view to see your full day, or round view to drill into a single end. Your data, visualised. Training Calendar A colour-coded calendar on the home screen maps your training volume across the month. Darker blue means more arrows. See your patterns, spot gaps, and keep your commitment visible. The full History screen shows your complete archive month by month. World Archery News After your second session, the home screen surfaces the latest news from World Archery — competition results, athlete stories, and event announcements — so you stay connected to the sport between training days.
