A 3D archery scoring app that knows your rulebook
“3D” is not one game. An ASA round is 20 targets and one arrow on 12/10/8/5. A World Archery round is 24 targets and two arrows on 11/10/8/5. An IFAA Hunting round gives 20 points for the kill with a single arrow. The same shot is worth a different number depending on whose rules you are shooting.
ArcTrail 3D is a free scorecard app that asks which rulebook you are shooting once, before the round, and then counts arrows and points by that rulebook for every target.
The rulebooks side by side
One line per format. The full scoring tables, with their sources, are on each rulebook's own page.
| Format | Targets | Arrows per target | Values |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASA Pro/Am | 20 per round | 1 | 12 / 10 / 8 / 5 |
| IBO 3-D | not fixed by the rules | 1 | 11 / 10 / 8 / 5 |
| World Archery 3D | 24 | 2, both count | 11 / 10 / 8 / 5 |
| IFAA 3-D Standard | 28 | 2, from two pegs | 10 / 8 / 5 |
| IFAA 3-D Hunting | 28 | 1 | 20 / 16 / 10 |
| NFAS Big Game | not fixed by the rules | up to 3, first hit counts | 24 to 4, falling each peg |
| FIARC Round 3D | 24 | 2, both count | 16 / 14 / 10, then 9 / 7 / 5 |
| FIARC Percorso | 24 | 3, all count | 11 / 9 / 6 down to 7 / 5 / 2 |
| FIARC Tracciato | 24 | up to 3, first hit counts | 22 / 20 / 16 down to 10 / 8 / 4 |
| FIARC Battuta | 28 stations, 48 targets | varies by station | 13 / 11 / 7 |
Three things this table makes obvious, and that a paper scorecard does not tell you:
- An 11 is not always an 11. World Archery and IBO both have an 11-ring, from two rulebooks that nobody keeps in step.
- Sometimes only the first hit counts. In the NFAS Big Game and the FIARC Tracciato you stop at the first arrow that scores, and the value drops with every attempt.
- Some rulebooks do not fix the number of targets. IBO and NFAS leave it to the course. ArcTrail 3D uses a preset for each, and says it is a preset.
What the app does
- Scores by the right rulebook. Choose the format before you start; arrows per target and point values follow from it.
- Works offline. 3D courses are in the woods. The round is kept on your phone and synced when you are back in range.
- Keeps a diary. Every round is saved with its format, so a World Archery 520 is never averaged with an ASA 220.
- Speaks nine languages: English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, Turkish and Russian.
- Is free, and installs from the browser — no app store needed.
What it is for
ArcTrail 3D is built for training and for your own record: practice rounds, club days, keeping track of how your scores move over a season. It is not a tournament system and it does not replace the official scorecard.
ArcTrail 3D is an independent project and is not affiliated with any of the organizations named on this page.
At an event, the tournament rules, the organizer's instructions and the official scorecard always apply. Check them with the organizer before you shoot.
How to install it
- Android — open ArcTrail 3D in Chrome and choose Install app from the menu.
