FIREARCHER
Archery, on target — recurve, compound and traditional, form and technique, tuning bows and arrows, and the tools to shoot your best.
From choosing your first recurve, compound, or traditional bow to dialing in draw length and draw weight, tuning arrows, refining your form, and shooting cleaner groups on the target and field range, FireArcher pairs free hands-on archery calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum. Shoot smarter, hit the mark with confidence.
Archery Tools & Calculators
Free tools for every archer — work out draw length and draw weight, match arrow spine, tune point weight and FOC, set sight marks, and score your ends, whether you shoot recurve, compound, or traditional.
Draw Length Calculator
Estimate your archery draw length from your arm span (the classic wingspan ÷ 2.5 rule), with a height fallback, shown in inches and centimetres — a starting point to confirm at a shop
Draw Weight Calculator
Find the real peak weight your recurve or traditional bow pulls at your draw length — bows are rated at 28 inches and change by about 5% of the rated weight per inch (compounds differ)
Arrow Spine Calculator
Get a recommended arrow spine from your draw weight, arrow length, and point weight, with a usable stiffer/weaker range read from a published-style carbon spine chart
Arrow FOC Calculator
Calculate your arrow's Front-of-Center balance from its length and balance point, with guidance for target (~7–15%) and hunting (~10–15%) setups
Arrow Kinetic Energy Calculator
Turn arrow weight and speed into kinetic energy and momentum, with Easton-style small, medium, and large game brackets for bowhunting reference
Archery Scoring Guide
A curated reference to target archery scoring — the 10-ring face and inner-10 X, World Archery versus NFAA, and the common rounds (WA 720, 1440, Vegas 300) with their perfect scores
Museum of Archery
Wander an immersive museum of archery — the bows, arrows, and gear that shaped the sport alongside the great archers and traditions, the craft of the bowyer and fletcher, and archery as told through art and history, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the stories behind the sport: where each idea came from, what makes it matter, and the role it plays on the range today.
