Arcus is the archery training companion built for archers who want more than a tally sheet. Whether you're shooting indoors at 18m, chasing Vegas spots, or navigating a 3D course through the trees, Arcus keeps your scores, tracks your progress, and helps you understand what's actually improving — and what isn't. SCORE EVERY ROUND Log target rounds and 3D sessions with ease. Use the numeric keypad for fast end-by-end scoring, or tap directly on the target face to record where each arrow landed. Arcus handles the maths — you focus on the shooting. Supports WA target faces (40cm, 60cm, 122cm), Vegas 3-Spot, ASA, and IBO formats, with accurate ring scoring and X-ring tracking built in. YOUR COMPLETE TRAINING LOGBOOK Every session is saved automatically. Browse your full shooting history, review individual scorecards, and share results with coaches or club members. Track your best ends, total arrow counts, and X totals at a glance. KNOW YOUR GEAR Log every bow in your bag — recurve, compound, barebow, or traditional. Record draw weight, arrow spine, point weight, riser and limb details, and more. Arcus tracks the total shots fired on each setup so you always know when it's time to check your string or tune your rest.
