Nimes, France is host to Face2Face, a very prominent annual indoor archery championship. A product of this annual event is the ArcheryClock software, a free software that runs on a pc and can drive large LED lighting displays. The authors of the software provide schematics and diagrams so you can literally build an entire system! Thanks to Henk Jegers (one of the authors) for sending information on this neat timing solution!
Archery Timing System (OK,it is both hardware AND software) - The D-O-S system by Tim Humphrey
 12/29/2011: A friend in Italy has brought to my attention new software called BOW COACH (Currently for the IPHONE only at this point). In order to read his website and find out more about it, I've used GOOGLE TRANSLATE features - if you use this link, and on any subsequent link on the website, hover over a link with your mouse, you SHOULD/will see a popup tootip offer from Google to translate and read in English the entire link destination - very accurate, all things considered, that provides a good idea of what the software does. Use the friend link to email the Italian if you wish more information, but I suggest you pre-translate your questions into Italian for both greater success and as a courtesy. Be sure to check out their fascinating "DIMPLEPOINT" arrow points that have documented aerodynamic benefits. I actually saw a VW bug that was once treated this way in Austin (Keeing it Weird). There are several downloadable documents on the performance of the dimplepoint on arrow dynamics.  I hope they are able to create an Android App version soon! |

Locate an arrow in the target for scoring automatically and see it via cameras immediately! Proving that Archery is truly a world-wide phenomena, archer/programmers in Hungary have been at work for more than 6 years, and have devised a clever and unique method for accurately scoring an arrow within seconds of it striking a typical and plain target face. In other words, you don't have to have a special target face, it works using other sensor methods as best I can tell. It appears to me that it is like having an automated Target Plot system, in that you have a record of each arrow as it happens, and can review an entire round of arrows afterwards, giving coaches and archers alike another valuable tool for analyzing performance. The system can broadcast the results in real-time to android phones on wi-fi, as well - what if you didn't need a scope in order to see your arrow? I wonder if anyone is making a phone holder that mounts on risers yet? FITA is testing this system now.
Description - an acrobat file describing the system FALCO EYE is currently in testing with FITA, has passed preliminary in-field testing with them, and has patents pending to protect their innovative methods for scoring an arrow both quickly and accurately. You can see their video using this link. (Recommended-it shows the system in action!) It is about 21 megabytes in size, so you may have to exercise some patience while your computer loads it.... You can also stream it from YouTube: Link To quote from one of the developers, Szilvia Garas: "We are planning to come out to the market with these first FITA series- in terms of marketing options it is a good possibility to show the system itself to the archers via the FITA competitions and championships. If FITA is satisfied with it they are planning to use it in most their events so hopefully you will be able to see it in the Archery TV also once they have finished testing it themselves."
Please note that the diagrams are necessarily of somewhat non-specific precision on exactly HOW it all works - until both patents pending are resolved AND the testing by FITA has concluded, the designers must protect their intellectual property. More is surely to follow, though, as this appears to be the "real deal", and possibly affordable enough that almost any size archery club or association will want to have this! Imagine being able to sit in the stands or the background, behind the archer, and watch the arrows appear on your android smart phone in realtime! |

After investigating the archery software currently available, it was discovered that Archery Clubs, as an organisation, were lacking a purpose built software solution that covered all aspects of their day-to-day administration. Most of the currently available archery software seems to be aimed at one or two specific areas rather than having a one stop solution. Longbow has been created to address this gap in the archery software market and aims to minimise all the administrative duties that are performed by Archery Clubs. Longbow takes into account both FITA and GNAS shooting rules and these rules are then implemented to control award schemes, age grouping, handicap calculations etc. Click here to go to the Information Page. Note that there are 4 individual prices to the products. |

Record Keeping My Archery Personal Archery Record KeepingHow well are you shooting? Better or worse than last year? What is your average for a FITA? What score should you expect at 70m? What sightmarks do you need for an Albion? Archery Tournament Scoring SoftwareYou know the feeling! It is the end of a successful tournament, the day has gone well, and all that is left to do is to award the prizes. Your scoring team are getting stressed trying to put the piles of score sheets into some kind of order. You are getting stressed because it is late and everybody wants to get home. A piece of paper is pressed into your hand and you announce the results. Then someone pipes up that they got a higher score, or that Fred wasn't shooting recurve but compound. He had entered as recurve, but brought his compound instead......nightmare! |

The Archery Suite allows
archers to score a round of archery (and much much more). 1. Scoring of a round is achieved by touching a virtual target on the screen or by selecting an arrow value from a (user definable) grid. The grid can be operated one-handed, not requiring the stylus. Distance profile, scores, and totals are available at all times. 2. The round to be scored is selected from a list. This list is under the archers control. New rounds can be added or unused ones deleted. 3. The scores for the current round and previously scored rounds can be viewed and print formatted. Distance, round, and multi-round totals can be viewed and personal best rounds can be found. 4. The suite is Lefty compatible. |

 ARROWMASTER - GREAT program for analyzing arrow behavior and statistical analysis of your shooting! by Jukka Ojala, Finland
TimeMaster - shooting timer |
"TimeMaster is
a very simple program for the shooting director of archery tournaments. The
original idea has been developed in a finnish archery club, Arcus. Last year
(2002) there appeared a
danish application by Jens Fudge using the same principles: showing
remaining seconds on the screen, generating the beeps using a soundcard, and
using TV sets to produce a bigger display. What's different in TimeMaster is that it shows the seconds as black digits on a red/green/yellow background. It also shows the order of shooting: A/B, A/B/C or AB/CD. " |

The shooting director directs the shooting from a pc, the image from the pc is sent to ordinary tv-sets, where they are visible to the archers. From the soundcard in the pc, the sound is also generated with one, two or three beeps. " | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Electronic Score Card or ESC for short is a simple and easy way for you to track your shoot scores. You simply add the names of each archer you wish to keep scores for and then add the shoots for that archer. ESC will allow you to add each targets score and it will do the work of adding it all up for you, plus it tracks your averages. You can even track the conditions of the shoots... Do you shoot better in open country with calm weather, or in mountain style shoots. Need an easy visual clue as to how well you did at the shoots you attend? ESC highlights shoots in the summary that you did well at. You can even keep track of how much all your shooting is costing you (whether that's good or bad). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
