Hi all,
I've been slowly developing a slightly different kind of scoring application which focuses on plotting and tracking practice scores.
My practice shoots can be any number of arrows over any kind of distance at any of the FITA target sizes, all depending on time available, location etc. In the evenings I might be shooting 50 arrows at a 40cm target over 13yds, while weekends might see me shooting a full Albion or plinking away at an 80cm face at 50m etc. I wanted to plot every one of my shots and analyse my progress (or lack thereof) over time.
So I made this web-based application (with a standalone mobile aspect) to enable just that. Here's a quick video of the mobile plotter which shows how I log my shots during a session on my iPhone:

The plotter operates offline so no connection is required until I want to upload my shoots to the main web app for viewing, comparison and analysis. Here is an overview of recent shoots:
I can go into the individual shoot and check out shot distribution, accuracy, precision for each End and for an individual arrow etc:
Similarly I can view my progress over time for a specific target size and range:
The small red triangles at the top of the graphs denote 'Milestones' - points on the timeline where I have made a change to bow setup, tuning, form etc worthy of a note.
I want to make this public soon but I have a little work to do first. Notably, the mobile plotter is formatted for iPhone at the moment but being an HTML5 page, I intend to make it screen-size responsive so suitable for any device with a browser. Also, I'm adding more comparison tools, visuals etc in an effort to make it more useful.
Of course, concentrating solely on scores isn't necessarily the best way to improve your archery but using this as a method of tracking (like you would in jogging, cycling, weight loss, beer consumption etc) has been of immense benefit to me over the past few months.
Anyway, I wanted to put this out for a bit of feedback/validation - thoughts/suggestions/questions are welcome - I'll keep posting with updates...
Cheers
Tim
