Arrowdex

Read full description

Arrowdex is the archery app for archers who take their progression seriously. Score every end, understand what your numbers actually mean, and keep your bow dialed in — on the shooting line, offline, in one place. SCORESHEET & TRAINING LOG Score arrow by arrow through WA 720, WA 1440 and WA 18m rounds, or set up your own. Tag each shot with its physical arrow number, fix a wrong score with one tap, and read back every past session end by end. ARROW PLOTTING & GROUPING Plot your impacts on the target face and let Arrowdex read the group for you: group center, spread, and the sight adjustment that would move it back to the middle. SIGHT MARKS Keep a sight mark chart per bow and per distance, so the right mark is with you at every distance instead of in a notebook at home. EQUIPMENT & BOW TUNING Manage your bows, arrows and components, then work through guided tuning for brace height, tiller, nocking point, center shot, plunger, clicker and the rest. Every step is a symptom, a diagnosis and a correction — not guesswork. TRAINING PLANS Build a plan from templates, ramp volume up and taper down toward an event, and tick sessions off as you shoot them. A planned session turns into a training day you can actually score. MENTAL TRAINING Fourteen guided psychological-skills exercises with a breathing pacer, shot routine rehearsal, imagery, cue words, refocus drills and a tension/focus check-in before and after. Schedule them in your training plan, keep a journal, and see how your practice days compare with the rest. MATCHES & TOURNAMENTS Shoot head-to-head matches with the World Archery set system, compound cumulative scoring or the Bundesliga team format, and run single-elimination brackets, round robins and match days. CLUBS & LEADERBOARDS Join your club, connect with other archers, and compare personal bests on leaderboards segmented by round format and bow division. COACHING Grant your coach access to exactly the data you pick — scores, conditions, technique, even your bow setup — and revoke it whenever you want. Your coach gets a roster view, comments on your sessions and proposes plan changes you accept or reject. WEATHER Attach wind and conditions to a session with one tap and see how your scores move with them. DASHBOARD Recent sessions, progression and your training heatmap on one screen. ANALYSIS Build your own graphs from your training: score, group size, arrow volume and inner-10 rate by week, bow, distance, wind or how you felt. Pin them to your dashboard; your coach can run the same graphs across the whole squad. EVERY BOW STYLE Recurve, compound, barebow, longbow and traditional — each with the tuning, divisions and terminology it actually uses. ARROWDEX PRO The training log is free. Pro adds multi-device sync, deeper analysis and the full training toolkit. PRIVACY FIRST Built in Germany under GDPR. Your training data is yours: export it as JSON or delete your account right in the app. Analytics are anonymous and strictly opt-in, and everything optional is off by default. Offline-first — it all works on the shooting line without a signal.
