Article 10 years later
March 2023
An article in the Dutch Archery Association magazine about why Artemis (10 years later) is still a relevant new technology to use in (high-performance) archery.
v 6.2.1
January 2023
Confidence levels; depicted are two actual examples of how these statistical tests can help decide between setups, bows, arrows and even fletchings. One example is from the best compound archer in the world (Mike Schloesser) and one from a top dutch recurve archer (Rick van der Ven). Sure you can visually assess both groups and reach the same conclusion. But it is always nice to have statistical evidence before you choose and start your season.
v6.0 14.000.000 plots
October 2022
Our data shows 14.000.000 shots have been recorded with Artemis. This version introduces new subscription models for Premium and Coached upgrades.
High-performance monitoring
January 2022
These dashboards are developed for coaching staff in a high performance archery environment responsible for long-term development. All data about your athletes in a single online dashboard. Athletes go out and practice (even remotely) and the coach can have instant feedback on performance, athlete's mental well being, scoring trends, grouping and plotting trends of their entire team. High-performance teams from Netherlands, Italy, Canada and Belgium use or have used these or derivative systems.
Motion detection with the BOWdometer
September 2021
A major score-loss mechanism (for recurve) is inconsistent bow-canting, i.e. not keeping your bow the same in th evertical plane. The BOWdometer is able to measure real-time the bow-cant angle and Artemis can vbe used to display it and even practise this which audio feedback. The bow cant angle for each shot is stored and visualised as well as analysed.
v5.0 BOWdometer
September 2021
The BOWdometer is fully integrated in Artemis. Read this article. Xi values, shot timing and rythm timing is recorded through the BOWdometer and sent to Artemis. This data can be analysed and correlated with score and grouping patterns.

Heart-rate variability in Artemis
November 2020
We wrote an article on Heart-rate variability in Artemis. Read this article.
New website
September 2020
In september 2020 we launched a new website!
BOWdometer collaboration
September 2020
In september we started a close collaboration with the manufacturers of the BOWdometer. The BOWdometer is a magnificent piece of hardware capable of detecting motion very accurately and with a high frequency.
v4.4
June 2020
In version 4.4 we introduced the integration with the wearable motion detection system from MbientLab. This small werable motion sensor opened up all kinds of possiblities in collection motion data (e.g. bow cant data) and cross-correlate that with the arcchers technical shooting form.
v4.4
June 2020
In version 4.4 we introduced the integration with the automatic plotting system RyngDyng.
RyngDyng
December 2019
Started a collaboration with the inventors of the RyngDyng system. We met early 2019 and in December of 2019 we did some first tests in the archery venue of Boekel (the Netherlands) where we hooked up Artemis with RyngDyng. The synergy between an automated plotting system and an advanced analysis system promised to be the future of high-performance archery.
v 4.0
November 2019
The new look and colorscheme of Artemis came with a very limited Prostaff shooter shirt and version 4.0 came with a lot of new developments. Improved heart-rate and stress recording, athlete management for the coach and support of Android 4.3
v 3.31
September 2019
Official installation and acceptation of the ArtemisEye (the automatic arrow plotting) system. Three targets got installed at the TeamNL Olympic Training Centre (Papendal). Initial tests were caried out by a.o. Olympian Sjef van den Berg
'It's impossible!?'
June 2018
When waiting in the lounge of Geneva airport, someone (you know who you are) claimed that is was almost impossible to make an automated arrow scoring/plottting system. So I took on the challenge and made a bet that I could do that easily. Created a first working prototype within a week.
The prototype is now installed at the Netherlands Olympic training center (Papendal) for 3 targets. It uses 2 IP cameras per target and their feeds are processed to find the arrow impact positions. Challenges are; multiple arrows in the target face obscuring each other, moving arrows, moving target face, lighting conditions that are uneven, holes in the target face. Non-circular and non-flat targets, etc. A nice brain-bender!
Review
May 2018
Artemis got reviewed in Bow International and received tthe highest rating of them all
v3.27
March 2018
Integration with Polar H7 Heart rate chestbands. Recently we have been doing some tests with one of our Prostaff archers (Sietske Visser) during practice and elimination-rounds of a major Dutch competition and got really nice results that showed that ArtemisCoached is actually capable of measuring and identifying these stress indicators.
Arrow speed

v 3.9
August 2016
In preparation for the Rio 2016 Olympics, We developed for Italian head-coach Wietse van Alten a function to select the best 6 (or 8) arrows from a set of 24. Based on the plotting and preparation of one of his archers (David Pasqualucci), I computed the best set of arrows for him to use in competition and also predicted the score he would be able to shoot. It was within 5 points! (Artemis predicted 690, and he shot 685) See also this article on how this was done.
v 3.7

v 1.11
January 2014
A very important feature called Dare-2-dream was introduced This feature computes the theoretical maximum score you could have had, if the group was positioned better. I.e. if you would have set your sight better. Some might argue that this will not add anything to your game, that it's just wishful thinking. I partly agree, yes, it is wishful thinking, but I disagree that it will not add anything to your game. It shows you what your scoring ability as an archer is (i.e. the ability to shoot accurate shots). But at the same time it will show you how good and alert you are in adjusting your sight. It is a very common mistake, especially with modern sights that have very fine adjustments, to under-estimate the amount you need to change your sight. If you often have a significant difference in points between your actual score and the 'Dare2Dream' score then you might need to spend some training sessions on how to adjust your sight. And knowing how to operate your sight is a much easier feat to learn than shooting your shots even more accurate than you already do.
v 1.9
January 2014
Introduced the Archery Timer. It started out as a gimmick, but I was surprised to see that many teams at international events use it on the practice fields.
v 1.4
October 2013
Introduced the concept of Archer Ability (the predecessor of the currently used Archers Skill Level which was developed by James Park) a number which tells you how good you are independent of distance, target face, scoring rules, etc.
v 1.6
November 2013
Added compound setup and tuning
v 1.3
October 2013
QR tag scanning for quickly setting up rounds and training schedules

Dropbox support, filters for analysis and comparing of arrow grouping. New way to handle liners.
v 0.9
September 2013
Being able to compare arrows shot/plotted on different target faces and different distances and still compare them on the same face. A revolution in archery plotting apps
v 0.9.39
August 2013
Added the concept of rounds
v 0.9.36
July 2013
Added a way to time a shot and to compare the results of each arrow with the time spend at full draw. We tested this in competition with a.o. former world record holder Peter Elzing. We compared his shot cycle timing in practice and competition and found valuable feedback.
v 0.9.35
June 2013
Before we released a final version 1.0, Artemis was put to field tests by the Dutch team during the WorldCup in Antalya. We got lots of feedback, for example a missing feature was that, once entered, a shot could not be moved anymore. So, when spotting a line-cutter, the arrow could not get awarded the higher (or lower) value afterwards. This didn't impair the analysis of the grouping, but total score would be off (and that's what this game is all about....).
v 0.9.30
May 2013
Added field rounds
v 0.9.29
May 2013
The first app in the world to have an accurate sight advice function. The sight advice function computes, based on recent plotted arrows, when and how much to adjust your sight to get your arrows back to the center of the target face.
Release candidates
2012
The entire year 2012 was spent testing Artemis in preparation for the 2012 Olympics during Worldcup and intercontinental competitions. In those years, I got a lot of feedback from all athletes and staff in TeamNL.
v 0.8.2 RC-3
October 2011
Uploaded release candidate 3 of version 0.8.2 to Google Play. This is also the first time we advertised Artemis on social media.
"My idea for an archery scoring app dates as far back as 1997, when the first Palm Pilot III
was introduced. I was a student, international archer and computer geek and had the time and
know-how to create an App for my Palm Pilot III and Tungsten T2."
