The App was created by an Archer for archers; to allow me to replace all my bits of paper and remember where my Sighters went and my last end landed when I get back to the shooting Line. I hope the App will be helpful and useful to all archers, whether you just want to get arrows down the range or become the next Olympic Champion. The App design sets out to achieve 5 goals: • Better understanding of arrow grouping on the target vs scores • Classification score levels for each Round • Simple to use single interface • Ability to save current and historic sight setting for all distances • A historic record of rounds scored Questions, queries, suggestions and dreaded bugs (fingers crossed) about the App can be sent to me at the email address: [email protected] , and I will endeavour to reply and address as soon as possible. All polite comments and suggestions are welcome to help improve the App. A copy of this manual is available via my Archery club’s website https://archie.warlinghamarchers.uk/ or I am happy to email it on a nice request. Please do not contact Warlingham Archers as they are not involved with the development or marketing of the App. This App will work ALL iPhones down to the iPhone 5 that are running iOS 12.4 or Higher. 1.1 Future developments: Archie’s Indoor Toolkit – same as Outdoor but different Rounds, Classifications and distances and a choice of Target Pictures Archie’s Clout Toolkit – again different Rounds, Classifications and distances, and total radical view of the target area and where the misses went, I mean to get a complete end on the target is well awe inspiring. Also iPad versions.

Once ‘Field Setup Button’ is pressed it will display the Archery Round and Class choices, by rolling up and down on each column you can select which Class and Round you which to use, see Appendices for description of each Class and round. Once you have chosen; your selected the highlighted option, “LB:Gents” and “WA1440G” in the example, then Press Archie to load the selection, Archie will also close Round and class selection. If you decide not to select, then just press the ‘Field Setup Button’ to close the Round and Class selection. Note of warning: If you were to load a Round then any existing in use Round would be lost, so do not forget to save rounds (if you want to keep them!!) Archie’s Outdoor Toolkit App v1.0 (Man v1.1) Copyright © Ken Archer 2020 Page 8 of 17 3.2 Scoring a Round Once selected the screen will show the round chosen, and if you press the round name it will display the Class, and Classification scores required for that Round and Class combination. The Round dozens show the required distance for each dozen. Grey in colour indicates that no scoring has started. This means that the option to record Sighter arrows is available. Note of warning Once dozens show green and scoring has started then the option to record Sighters is lost. Archie’s Outdoor Toolkit App v1.0 (Man v1.1) Copyright © Ken Archer 2020 Page 9 of 17 3.2.1 Pressing the Sighters Button Pressing the Sighters Button allows the recording of Sighters, Archie will show that Sighters Button has been pressed. You can now start scoring, well after you have shot some arrows! To score press the score ring number of the scoring keys, your number score will then appear in the scoring row, in this example you can see my Sighters have scored 10, 8 and 3. For each score the scoring keys will change to hourly clock faces after the ring number is selected, in the example my score 3 is waiting for me to select which clock, thus how to place the arrow, my score of 10 was at 3 O’clock and my score of 8 was at 4 O’clock. Sighter arrows show brown on the target face and do not give a total. You can have up to 12 Sighters, and during the actual round scoring you can press the Sighters button to show Sighters. Note in this example I have one gold Sighter this will never show on the gold total for the round, the same will be true of misses (who has these!!) To stop recording Sighters either press the Sighters button or press the first round’s Dozen for scoring. Once Sighters have been scored then they will always be part of that round, and available to show, by pressing the Sighters Button. Archie’s Outdoor Toolkit App v1.0 (Man v1.1) Copyright © Ken Archer 2020 Page 10 of 17 3.2.2 Starting the round Scoring By pressing the first dozen to score the dozen change to green and the scoring row for the dozen changes to white. Now just shoot the arrows, it does not matter if you score in ends of 3, 6 or even 12, just score the arrows. The scoring does not have to be in the normal format of highest arrows first any order is fine. To score: Press the scoring ring number and select the clock face for each arrow. The clock hour tells the App were to place the arrow in the scored ring. If you are scoring an Imperial round the App will only award Imperial scores, even if you select an even number ring. E.g. for an imperial round an arrow scored as being in the 6 ring at 3 o’clock, will be show the arrow hit in the 6 ring at 3 o’clock, but score a 5. At any point you can save the round by pressing Archie and retrieve it from the Log Book for continuing after lunch, or when you’ve found your arrows! Once you have completed the dozen then select the next dozen to score. Archie’s Outdoor Toolkit App v1.0 (Man v1.1) Copyright © Ken Archer 2020 Page 11 of 17 Above, you can see the example on the left shows my complete 1st dozen scoring, note metrics around the target face showing dozen average and Round average, rA and dA.
