Description
K Archery turns your Garmin watch into an automatic arrow counter — and, if you want more, into a connected training companion, analysing your move and reporting stability and detected misprecisions. Two levels, at your own pace: 1. I just want an automatic counter Install the app for free and try it out. It detects every shot using your watch's accelerometer and counts your arrows and ends, with no complex or expensive equipment. If it works for you, unlock it permanently (one-time activation code, valid for life on your watch). Rules: select the profile matching your bow / hand, wear the watch on the back arm. If it doesn't detect your shoots, contact me, we can work on a specific profile for your shooting style. 2. I want to track my shots, moves, stats to K Archery Connect Connect your watch to the K Archery Connect web platform (karchery.fr): your sessions, stats, and detailed per-shot curves are recorded automatically. Try it first with the demo account (username and password: demo); if you like it, create your own account (try it for free). How does it work? The detection algorithm continuously analyzes accelerometer data and recognizes the characteristic signature of the bowstring release. Its thresholds were calibrated on real data from elite archers (international recurve competitors), so it stays reliable on both a "clean" release and a less regular one — without ever confusing a release with an ordinary arm movement. Features - Fully automatic arrow and end counting, no manual input needed - Heart-rate tracking during the session - Optional GPS track recording (shown on a small map in K Archery Connect) - 1-minute raw accelerometer data export + direct contact with the developer for a personalized analysis (e.g. if detection seems off) - Available in French, English, German, Russian, and Simplified Chinese - Compatible with a very wide range of Garmin watches (fēnix, Forerunner, Instinct, Venu, Descent...) What's new You can now export 1 minute of raw data to K Archery Connect, and reach out directly to the developer for an analysis (for example if detection seems off).
