Peg & Point User Guide

Peg & Point is a field archery scoring, training and club management platform. The mobile app is built for use in the woods: big buttons, offline-friendly scoring and quick notes. The web app is the bigger-screen console for course building, stats, club admin and event management.

The desktop web app is available at:

Mobile App

Signing in and syncing

Open the Rules tab and use Account & sync to sign in. Sync backs up your finished shoots, bow setups, downloaded courses, diary data and club links.

If you are heading into the woods, sync before you leave. You can still score with poor signal, then sync again when you are back online.

Starting a shoot

Use the Score tab. Pick a course, choose training/practice/competition mode where available, add archers, then start scoring.

The app supports:

• Your own signed-in archer profile.
• Guest archers for casual rounds.
• Extra signed-in archers who want their scores linked to their own account.
• Roving rounds where you create targets as you shoot.

Scoring

Peg & Point uses NFAS-style Big Game scoring for the current alpha. Pick the result for each archer and move to the next target.

Useful controls during a shoot:

• Undo to correct the last score.
• Edit for manual correction.
• Notes to add shot detail.
• Skip target for practical field problems.
• Finish early if the round is abandoned.
• Finish at the end to save the shoot and generate results.

Training notes

Shot notes are the part serious archers should use. They feed the stats and coaching prompts later.

Useful things to record:

• Estimated distance and actual distance.
• Reference type such as gap, point-on, string walk or instinctive.
• Aim point.
• Impact direction such as high, low, left or right.
• Shot angle such as flat, uphill or downhill.
• Execution tags such as misjudged distance or good shot.
• Correction notes for next time.
• Post-shot photos.

You do not have to fill all of this in during a normal shoot. Use it when training or testing a setup.

Roving rounds

Use roving mode when you are shooting a course that is not already in Peg & Point. Add the target name, score it, optionally add photos/notes, then move on. At the end you can save the course so it can be reused or shared later.

Courses on mobile

The Courses tab lets you:

• View saved courses.
• Download club courses.
• Download by course code from the web app.
• View target details, notes and photos.
• Create or edit personal/local courses.

Club-owned courses are read-only unless your account has the right club admin permissions.

Diary and stats

The Diary tab shows your training data, bow setups, reference notes and stats. It becomes more useful as you score more shoots and add better shot notes.

Stats include score totals, average per target, first-arrow hit rate, kill/wound/miss distribution, distance bands, shot angles, target types, bow setup comparison and training prompts.

Badges

The Badges tab shows achievements earned from shoots, notes, course building and progress. Some badges unlock immediately, others need more shoots or cleaner data.

Club events

Club events are shown in the app for members. You can RSVP where the club has enabled attendance, and start a shoot from an attached course.

Web App

Dashboard

The dashboard is your high-level view: recent activity, courses, shoots, best scores, upcoming events and quick links into the rest of the platform.

Courses and course builder

Use Courses to create and manage courses on a bigger screen. This is the best place for club admins to build proper club courses.

Minimum viable course setup:

• Add course name.
• Add venue.
• Set target count.
• Add target names/details.
• Save course.
• Publish to club or make available by code if needed.

Advanced course tools include:

• Map target placement.
• Path points between targets.
• Target photos.
• Peg photos.
• Distances.
• Peg colours.
• Difficulty and safety notes.
• Maintenance notes.
• Visibility controls for private, club, unlisted or public courses.

Members can download visible courses to the mobile app.

Shoots and shoot details

Use Shoots to review synced shoots. Click a shoot to see the scorecard, target breakdowns, course map where available, notes and linked media.

Stats

The Stats page is where Peg & Point becomes more than a scorecard. It shows trends, distribution, course performance, target-by-target analysis, shot notes and setup comparison.

Useful stats include:

• Score trend over time.
• Average score per target.
• First-arrow hit and kill rate.
• Kill/wound/miss split.
• Best and weakest target types.
• Distance band performance.
• Uphill/downhill/flat performance.
• Reference type and execution tag results.
• Bow setup comparison.
• Coaching prompts.

Stats are personal by default. Club dashboards only use member data when the archer opts in to sharing.

Equipment

Use Equipment to record bow setups. This is especially useful for barebow archers comparing arrows, draw weight, brace height, reference marks and setup performance.

Setup fields include bow style/class, riser, limbs, poundage, string, brace height, nocking point, arrows, spine, point weight, fletching, nock, tab/glove, photos and notes.

Clubs

The Clubs page shows the club directory. Club pages can include a logo, description, website, contact details and public/open-shoot courses.

If you are a member, the club page links to club features and visible courses.

My Club

The My Club page is the member-facing club stats area. It shows shared club analytics, leaderboards and club-level breakdowns for members who have opted in.

Members control whether their stats are shared with the club.

Club admin tools

Club admins can:

• Edit club profile and logo.
• Manage member requests.
• Promote or remove members.
• Create and publish club courses.
• Add club events.
• Attach courses to events.
• Manage event entries.
• Review competition scores/results.

Admin tools are shown only when the signed-in account has the relevant club role.

Events and competitions

The Events section supports club shoots and competition setup. Admins can create events, attach courses, set RSVP options and manage entries.

Competition features are still evolving, but currently include entries, scoring profiles, verification states, awards/results export groundwork and event results pages.

Privacy and account deletion

The web app footer links to the privacy policy. The privacy page includes an account deletion option for users who want to remove their account and associated data.

Good Alpha Testing Notes

When testing, useful feedback includes:

• What screen you were on.
• What you expected to happen.
• What actually happened.
• Whether you were on mobile app or web app.
• Whether you were signed in.
• The course or shoot name involved.
• Screenshots if possible.

Peg & Point is still alpha software, but the core goal is simple: make field scoring easy in the woods, then make the data genuinely useful when you get home.
