About
Rise Archery is the most intuitive archery scoring and training app on the App Store, built for archers of every level—from recreational shooters to competitive tournament athletes. The app covers every phase of an archer's development: logging scores, analyzing performance, and staying connected with the archery community. Archers can record scores manually or plot arrows on digital target faces compatible with USAA, WA, NFAA, 3D (ASA, IBO, OPA), Rushmore Rumble, and Imperial scoring systems. Pre-loaded indoor and outdoor rounds are available, and custom rounds can be created for any local course or format. Multiple equipment loadouts let users compare performance across different bows and arrow setups. Post-session statistics include arrow distributions per end, individual arrow grouping analysis, and long-term score improvement charts segmented by distance and target face. The Olympic Rounds feature simulates tournament elimination matches against online or local friends with real-time score updates. Social features include activity feeds, group creation for clubs, JOAD programs, and collegiate teams, plus monthly leaderboards. Coaches can leave direct feedback on member sessions. Additional training tools include a delayed-video form checker, a ghost competitor mode based on recent personal performance, tournament tracking, and custom tag annotation for sessions.
