About
iShoot 3D Archery is a dedicated mobile scoring application designed for competitive 3D archery enthusiasts. Available on both iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) and Android devices, it eliminates the need for clipboards, printed scorecards, and pencils during tournaments. Users can predefine scoring rules to match different tournament formats, as scoring criteria often vary by archery club or sanctioning body. The app features radio-button score entry for fast, accurate input, and automatically calculates total scores and percentage of total at the end of each round. A standout feature is its built-in library of over 100 photos of 3D archery targets with annotated scoring ring reference points — invaluable when ring boundaries are hard to see from a shooting distance. The app also stores historic tournament records for personal performance tracking and data analysis over time. IBO (International Bowhunting Organization) and ASA (Archery Shooters Association) scoring rules are accessible directly within the app for quick reference during competition. iShoot 3D Archery is ideal for recreational archers, competitive tournament shooters, and archery clubs looking to modernize their scoring process. The development team is committed to ongoing updates and user-friendly improvements, making it a reliable companion for the archery community.
