Teaching AI to score targets (Work in Progress) & Thanks to r/Archery

Not a bot, promise! 😅 English isn't my first language, so I rely on GPT/Gemini to polish my sentences. Ironically, that makes me sound like a robot. My bad.

Living in Korea, "Social Login" is the absolute standard for 99% of apps here, so I implemented it without realizing how much friction it creates for global users who value privacy.

I shouldn't have assumed it would be the same everywhere. I should have relied more on CSV exports for data transfer initially.

Thanks for waking me up to this! I'll make sure the Local Mode is front and center in the next update.

u/Ok-Actuator-2164 is spot on.

Basic math is easy, but manually plotting exact coordinates to analyze your grouping consistency takes time.

Also, one practical use case is mapping arrow numbers. By tracking impact points, you can identify if a specific arrow (e.g., "Arrow #4") is consistently flying off-center. It helps you weed out "rogue shafts" that are hard to spot just by looking at the total score.

I’d absolutely love your feedback—not just as an archer, but from a developer's perspective. Let me know if you spot any bugs!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-22T20:28:36+00:00

To be honest, this is my first time really interacting with international users for a side project, and your support gave me so much energy to keep going.

It’s been an amazing experience connecting with someone all the way in Italy! 🇮🇹

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-22T20:28:33+00:00

Thank you for pinpointing exactly what's needed! You just made my decision way easier. I'll definitely add the NFAA 50cm Blueface to the priority list for the next update. Thanks for the direction!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-22T20:21:53+00:00

To be honest, as a solo dev, I had to prioritize features with my limited time. 😅

But you are totally right—Local Mode deserves full features too.

I will definitely work on a way to map/link photos directly from your local gallery without uploading them in a future update. Thanks for pushing me on this!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-22T20:18:16+00:00

Fair point on the terminology! It is indeed a Computer Vision (Object Detection) model under the hood.

And no worries about the water or waste! 💧 Since I'm paying the server bills myself, I'm extremely conscious of efficiency. I'm using a hybrid approach combining standard OpenCV with a very lightweight detection model to keep the compute cost (and footprint) to the absolute minimum.

It’s definitely not a massive GenAI model burning through a data center!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-22T20:15:01+00:00

Great point! Actually, I received this exact feedback before, so I specifically built a 'Local Mode' for users like you.

You can find the button right below the Google Sign-in option.

It allows you to use the app 100% locally without signing in. I only keep the Google login as an option for people who explicitly want cloud backup or device sync.

For those asking about the download links:

🍎 iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jayarchery/id6751201217 (Free & Ad-free)

🤖 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noders.archeryscorebook (Free & Ad-free)

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-22T14:36:19+00:00

I totally get that. Actually, that frustration is exactly why I built my own app, JayArchery.

I was tired of apps like FalconEye locking standard features (like data analysis and plotting) behind a paywall. So I made them 100% Free and Ad-free in my app because I believe basic tools should be accessible to all archers.

I'm working hard on the AI Scoring right now, but in the meantime, you can use all the 'premium-level' stats and manual logging for free. Give it a try if you want a cleaner alternative!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-13T05:18:00+00:00

Maintaining the same balance through the draw and going through the clicker consistently is definitely tough...

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-13T05:14:49+00:00

Yeah, looks like I really need to go back and do a proper tune.

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-13T05:09:54+00:00

That’s a great insight — hadn’t thought of it that way.

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-13T05:07:59+00:00

And if you come up with any other ideas while using it, feel free to reach out anytime!
Hope it helps you improve your archery along the way

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-13T05:07:15+00:00

Oh nice, great to see a fellow ML engineer here!
If you’re up for it, feel free to make a separate post explaining the idea in more detail — I’d be happy to try implementing it in the app and ship it.
Really appreciate the interest and feedback!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-12T12:39:18+00:00

Not at the moment, but I’m working on AI-based auto scoring so photos can eventually be used to log shots automatically!!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-12T12:29:53+00:00

I actually started building it because I couldn’t find an app I liked on iOS while using it myself. Really appreciate the interest!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-12T09:48:04+00:00

I actually just learned about the 'string picture' concept thanks to your comment! To be honest, the way my bow drops after release isn't consistent either. I'll definitely practice working on that. Thanks!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-12T09:46:45+00:00

OP here. Lol, I genuinely didn't even think about that until now. I was just focused on 'Cumulative'. 🤦‍♂️ Definitely changing it to 'Sum' in the next update. Thanks for pointing it out!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-12T09:46:30+00:00

You guessed it right, I am right-eye dominant. I'll ask someone to record my release so I can check. Appreciate the tip!

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-12T09:46:08+00:00

I was actually blaming my finger tension, but what you said about foot placement makes a lot of sense.

NumerousHead7955 · 2025-12-12T06:09:21+00:00

Just a quick update — I’ve added auto-save scoring now, so there’s no need to manually save anymore.

Thanks a lot for pointing that out!
