Claims20
A method of evaluating a performance of at least one of archery equipment and an archer, the archery equipment including an arrow and a bow having a bow string, the method comprising acts of:
- generating flight-data for at least one point in a flight of the arrow shot from the bow the at least one point located between a launch point that occurs when the arrow disconnects from the bow string and an impact point that occurs when the arrow strikes a target, the flight-data generated with a sensor included in the arrow;
- and
- evaluating the performance of the at least one of the archery equipment and the archer using the flight-data.
A computer readable medium encoded with a program for execution on a processor, the program when executed on the processor performing evaluating a performance of at least one of archery equipment and an archer, the archery equipment including an arrow and a bow having a bow string, the method comprising acts of:
- receiving flight-data generated, with a sensor included in the arrow for at least one point in a flight of the arrow, the at least one point located between a launch point that occurs when the arrow disconnects from the bow string and an impact point that occurs when the arrow strikes a target;
- and
- generating, based on the flight-data, at least one recommended adjustment to improve a subsequent flight of the arrow.
A method of tuning archery equipment including a bow and arrow, the method comprising:
- employing an arrow-mounted sensor to measure data for a shot taken with the archery equipment;
- and
- evaluating the measured data to determine at least one adjustment to the archery equipment to improve a performance of the archery equipment.
