You can also add activity notes, arrow counts and summary scores, to the journal.  All journal items are reported on in the progress tab, which give you an instant weekly progress report to email to anyone, most likely yourself or your coach.

How do I resume a round in ArcherySuccess?

 To resume any round: 

  1. Tap the Journal tab at bottom of screen 
  2. iPhone/iPad: slide left on the round you want to resume and choose resume from the menu
  3. Android: press down on the round you want to resume until a menu appears at the top of the screen and select resume from the menu.
  4. After selecting the resume option, the Plot tab will be displayed and the round you selected to resume will be shown.

Can I filter the list of available rounds in ArcherySuccess?

Yes, you can.

  1. On the Plot or Score Tab, tap the New Round Icon in the top right of the page (the icon is magnifying glass with a cross in it)
  2. Next to Round Search (magnifying glass icon), click the Funnel Icon, which will display the round filter page.
  3. Rounds highlighted in yellow with a green tick mark will be available in the round list for search and selection

How do I score marked and unmarked NFAA or WA field rounds?

Field round layouts tend to change over time or even from day to day. ArcherySuccess caters for field round layout changes by defining field round templates, which allows archers to easily change target details, such as distance and target face, as they progress through the round.


To score marked or unmarked field rounds:

  1. Select the field round from the round list. 
  2. This will create a new field round and bring up the Plot screen, which will show Target #1. 
  3. If you are not shooting on Target #1, use the arrow buttons at the bottom of the screen to navigate to the target # you will be shooting, and click the first arrow cell at the bottom of the screen to indicate you want to start scoring on the selected Target # (alternatively click the Score Tab and select the Target # and arrow position in the score card for the Target # you are on)
  4. If the target face and distance do not match the Target # you are shooting, simply click the Icon with Circle and a Dot to open the Change Target page and match the detail of the target you are shooting.
  5. As you progress with scoring through the field course adjust the target details in the app to match the course details


Alternatively, if you shoot the same field round layout frequently, a custom round can be created which mirrors the physical field round layout.

How do I change the Gear Setup, Competition Level, Date or add a Note to a round?

If the round is already in progress:

On the Score and Plot Tabs, click the Note Icon (the Paper Icon with one corner folded over), this will bring up the Edit Round Note page. 


If it is a historical round:

Tap the Journal Tab, find the round of interest then depending on the phone you are using:

  • iPhone/iPad: slide left on the round and choose Notes from the menu
  • Android: press down on the round you want to resume until a menu appears at the top of the screen and select Notes from the menu.

     

Note: The default gear setup for a new round is your favourite setup, which can be found by Tapping Gear. The first setup in the list (with the gold star) is your favourite setup.  Steps to change the favourite gear setup:

  • iPhone/iPad: slide left on the round and choose Favourite from the menu
  • Android: press down on the round you want to resume until a menu appears at the top of the screen and select Favourite from the menu.

What is the Archer Skill rating?

The archer skill rating is based on the skill rating formula developed by Dr.James Park.  For more information see: Park, J. L. (2014) ‘Modelling archers’ scores at different distances to quantify score loss due to equipment selection and technique errors’, Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part P: Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, 228(4), pp. 250–258. doi: 10.1177/1754337114539308.


We would like to thank Dr. Park for his assistance, and allowing us to use his skill rating formula, in our app, ArcherySuccess.

How to do arrow tagging and analysis

How do I Tag an arrow?

  

To tag arrows, you will need to number all your arrows. The most common way arrows are numbered, either by writing a unique arrow number on the arrow shaft for each arrow in the set, or by using numbered arrow wraps. ArcherySuccess supports arrow numbers between 1 to 24.


You will tag you arrows as part of scoring at the target; to tag your arrows:

  1. First Plot the arrow score, then click the Tag icon (the icon looks like a Tag). Clicking the Tag icon is only needed if you have not enabled the “Plot and Tag” feature.
  2. On the Assign Tag Page, click the Tag number which correspond to the arrow number.
  3. The arrow will be tagged and the Plot page will be displayed.
  4. The Tag number assigned will be displayed above the arrow score at the bottom of the Plot Tab.


Notes:

  • If you are tagging all scored arrows, turn the “Plot and Tag?” switch To ON in the Assign Tag page. Doing this will speed up the tagging process as the Assign Tag page will be displayed after each arrow plot.
  • Arrow Tagging is only supported for plotted arrows.

How do I do Tag Analysis?

To access the Tag Analysis screen from the Journal Tab:


  • iPhone/iPad: slide left on the round and choose Analysis from the menu
  • Android: press down on the round you want to resume until a menu appears at the top of the screen and select Analysis from the menu.


To access the Tag Analysis screen from the plot Tab:

  • Tap the Tag Icon
  • On the Assign Tag page, click the graph icon in the top right hand corner of the page
