The story
I discovered my passion for recurve archery in 2013. Like many new archers, I went looking for an app to track my progress - and found one that met some of my basic needs. The interface was quirky but workable. Then, to my dismay, the app disappeared from the market: no updates, no support for newer phones, gone.
I searched again - this time without success.
The decision
As a technologist, the answer became clear: I needed to build the app I wished existed. Not just for me, but for any archer trying to plan and track their journey to better shooting.
In 2017, ArcherySuccess launched.
Where it is today
Today, ArcherySuccess supports 780+ rounds across 23 governing bodies - recurve, compound, field, clout, 2D, 3D and Animal, shot indoor and outdoor. It's used by archers in over 60 countries, rated 4.7 on the App Store and 4.6 on Google Play. The community keeps it growing - feedback, feature requests, and reviews drive every release.
The goal
ArcherySuccess should be more than software. My goal is for it to grow into a community of archers - one that promotes the sport and helps archers of every discipline and every level reach their full potential.
I'm also a Level 2 KLICC-certified coach (opens in new tab), so every feature is shaped by what archers and coaches actually need on the shooting line.
I hope you enjoy using the app as much as I enjoy developing it.
