Stabili-Track

The motion behind the shot.

The tip records the hold. TargetOS turns it into a readout — peak draw, settle, aim time, hold — on every arrow, filed on the same card as the score.

Requires the separate Stabili-Track motion sensor. Feeds the same Metrics dashboard as everything else — one filterable history.

What gets measured

Eight signals, tracked on every arrow, not just described in a feel — grouped in the app under six toggleable factor categories: Hold Time, Hold Steady, Peak Draw, Settle, Cant, and Advanced Heat Maps.

A Real Question From The Line
Does my 27in bar with 10oz hold better than my 30in bar with 8oz on it? Well now you can ACTUALLY see it on your target face.
Peak Draw

Where the draw actually peaks, shot to shot.

Settle

How long it takes to settle into the shot.

Aim Time

Time actually spent aiming before release.

Hold

Steadiness through the hold, not a guess.

Cant

Self-referenced to your own hold, not an external zero.

Left / Right

Lateral steadiness during hold.

Up / Down

Vertical steadiness during hold.

Ring Dwell

Time spent in-ring through the last 500 ms.

Every one of those, run against your own score

Not a mockup — this is what the actual correlation screen shows, cross-referencing hold time, hold steadiness, peak draw, settle, and cant against the points each shot actually scored.

Hold Time, Hold Steady L/R, and Hold Steady U/D correlated to results
Hold Time · Hold Steady L/R · Hold Steady U/DShorter vs. longer hold, and lower vs. higher wobble in both axes — each bucketed against average points and X-count.
Peak Draw and Settle correlated to results
Peak Draw · SettleBelow vs. at-or-above your reference peak, and faster vs. slower settle — both run against the score.
Cant At Shot and Cant At Hold correlated to results
Cant At Shot · Cant At HoldCant angle at the moment of release, and cant travel through the whole hold — each one graded against points, not just tracked.

What "average" actually means here

Two real methodology choices sit behind every correlation table above — not hidden, not hand-waved.

Reference mode

Draw Lab law, or your own rolling average

Every correlation table lets you switch what “reference” means. Draw Lab measures you against the personal baseline built from your own best takes — the law you're trying to reproduce. Rolling measures you against whatever's currently sitting in your filter — your own recent normal, not your best case. Same shots, two different questions.

Low / At Baseline / High

A real middle bucket, not a coin flip

Shots aren't forced into “better” or “worse.” Each measurement carries a real tolerance band around the reference — Hold Time ±0.50s, Peak Draw ±1.0°, Cant ±0.5°, Settle ±0.25s — and anything inside that band counts as At Baseline. Only what's genuinely outside the tolerance gets bucketed Low or High.

That's also what a line like “in-view average as % of Draw Lab: L/R 70% · U/D 129%” means — it's the current filtered view's average wobble, expressed as a percentage of your own reference. 129% means averaging 29% more wobble than your own established baseline, not an abstract number pulled from nowhere.

Built on your own baseline, not a generic zero

Stabili-Track doesn't grade you against an abstract ideal. It grades you against your own best draws.

A profile built from your own shooting

  • Hold Steady tracking — left/right and up/down steadiness during hold, not just a feel.
  • Cant tracking that self-references to your own hold, not an external zero.
  • Draw Lab — build a personal baseline from your own best draws, practice against it.
  • Settle and peak timing — how long it actually takes you to settle into the shot.

The rest of what makes it honest

Four things that don't show up on a chart but decide whether the chart can be trusted.

Bow Level

Orients the tip to how the bow is actually held, before anything else is measured. Skip it, and cant is graded against an arbitrary zero instead of your real geometry — every cant and hold-path number downstream depends on this being right first.

Live Strip

Once locked to the tip, the scorecard shows a real-time readout during the shot itself — acceleration (g), sampling rate (Hz), sample count, tip battery — visible the whole time you're at full draw, not just after.

Plot Order

Reverse-anchoring the hold path onto the hole only works if arrows are plotted in the order they were actually shot. Score with a plain number pad, out of order, and there's no honest way to connect that hold-path data to a specific arrow on the face.

Quick View

A lighter mode for shooting without a full scorecard. Once a Draw Lab profile is saved and locked to the tip: Start/Stop Recording, plot on a simple canvas, a follow-through overlay, a buffer list of recent shots. Same lock-gating as the scorecard — no profile, no recording.

Settle time, correlated to your score

Not just how long you took to settle into the shot — what that settle time actually cost or earned you on the card.

Metrics view of a scored session
Settle ↔ ResultsEvery shot bucketed by how fast you settled — low, average, high — against the points that shot actually scored.

This is the same settle timing from the tile grid above, but run against your own results instead of sitting on its own. Rushing into a shot and over-holding both show up here as the same thing: a settle-time band that quietly costs points.

Filter it against a single bow, a single distance, or a full season — the correlation is rebuilt from your own data every time, never a generic curve.

The kind of question this exists to answer: when I added 4oz to my front bar, did my hold times drop? If so, by how much?

Why the tip talks over WiFi, not Bluetooth

The tip records motion at 100Hz — so the amount of data collected per shot is enormous compared to other motion tracking devices. If that data were transferred over Bluetooth (BLE), each shot would take anywhere from 1½–5 minutes to transfer, and would still need to be rebuilt in the app afterward — consuming significant power and memory on both devices. This is why the athlete instead chooses 1 of 3 different WiFi configurations for transfer.

Average shot

147,526 B

~144 KB per shot at 100Hz. Over BLE (20-byte packets, ~15ms per write): 7,377 packets → ≈110.7 sec — about 1 minute 51 seconds, for one shot.

Smallest shot on record

71 KB

≈3,634 packets over BLE → ≈54.5 sec to transfer a single shot.

Largest shot on record

275 KB

≈14,079 packets over BLE → ≈3 min 31 sec to transfer a single shot.

A full session, back-to-back

A full 30-shot session at the same average shot size: ≈4.43 MB total → ≈221,289 packets over BLE → ≈55.3 minutes if sent back-to-back. WiFi is not an aesthetic choice — it is the only transport that gets this much real motion data off the tip and onto the scorecard in a session that still fits inside a practice.

Four real arrows, straight off the tip

No staged data, no simulation — four shots pulled directly from a Stabili-Track session. Each card is the tip's actual on-device readout: the plotted post-settle aim path into the target face, next to the real Hold Time, Peak Draw, and Settle numbers the tip recorded for that arrow.

Switching phones, or the tip won't pair?

Your tip locks to the first phone it bonds with, on purpose — only a direct USB connection can reset that lock. Full explanation and the reset tool live on the Support page.
