About

CM Archers Timer

Features
Read full description

Archers Timer controls timing and the traffic light for archery competitions under World Archery rules – automatically, exactly reproducibly, and including the prescribed horn signals. Recurve and compound are not distinguished. A TRAFFIC LIGHT, NOT A SMALL ICON Instead of a small traffic-light graphic, the current signal colour fills the entire screen – easy to read from a distance and in bright daylight. Preparation time, shooting time and the yellow warning run automatically, with the matching horn signals for preparation, clear to shoot, stop, and collecting arrows. EVERYTHING FOR RUNNING A COMPETITION • Group mode AB (2 archers) or AB CD (4 archers per target) • Any number of rounds and ends, fully configurable • Ready-made templates for WA Outdoor, WA Indoor, or fully custom • Re-shoots with their own time, for recounts or tie-breaks • Pause, abort and resume – even after an abort, resuming at exactly the right point REMOTE CONTROL • Apple Watch: status and full remote control right on your wrist • Bluetooth presenter/clicker: freely assignable key templates, including templates for common models BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Automatically adapts to portrait and landscape without scrolling, with its own sidebar menu on iPad. Full light and dark mode support. CONFIGURABLE DOWN TO THE DETAIL Language (German/English/automatic), volume and signal tone, voice announcement of the final seconds – optionally with your own recorded voice for each number. Archers Timer runs entirely offline, with no account and no cloud sync – all settings stay on your device.

About

BSB Interval

Features
Read full description

BSB Interval is a fully customizable interval timer for archery and shooting sport training, built for BogenSport Bietigheim e.V. TWO TRAINING MODES Classic Mode: The proven load/rest timer with sets and rounds — preparation time, load, rest, set changes, all freely adjustable, including optionally increasing or decreasing durations per round. Builder Mode: Build your own training sequence completely freely from any number of blocks — each with its own name, duration, color, and icon. Blocks can be grouped together and repeated as many times as you like. Choose between two run-screen styles: a large, calm countdown in the Classic style, or an interactive filmstrip that shows the whole sequence — including tapping directly to jump to any part of your training without interrupting the timer. 20 READY-TO-USE ARCHERY AND SHOOTING EXAMPLE TIMERS Ready-made templates for shot-sequence technique, anchor training, hold and strength endurance, shot series, competition preparation, concentration training, and more. TIMER LIBRARY Organize any number of timers into folders, add notes, share individual timers with others, or back up your entire library at once. A shared timer file can be tapped directly in the Files app, Mail, or AirDrop and opens straight into BSB Interval. SUPPORT DURING TRAINING Voice announcements, sound cues, haptics, and a motivational phrase on "Finished" accompany every session — even with the phone on silent. Every completed session is logged to the history automatically. Optimized for iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape.
