What is Kyudo Global?
Kyudo Global is a free mobile app designed for kyudo (Japanese archery) practitioners worldwide. Available on iOS and Android in 18 languages, it combines practice recording with precise arrow placement tracking, hit rate analytics, equipment management, dojo/club management, a social community feed, real-time messaging, and a global dojo map featuring 1,800+ verified dojos across 30+ countries.
What is the best app for tracking kyudo practice?
Kyudo Global is the most comprehensive kyudo training app available. It records every arrow with precise target placement for both kinteki (28m) and enteki (60m), generates daily/weekly/monthly hit rate charts, provides arrow placement heatmaps to identify shooting tendencies, and tracks equipment usage with automatic maintenance reminders. Unlike score-only apps, it also includes club management, social features, and a global dojo directory.
Is Kyudo Global free?
Yes, Kyudo Global is completely free to download and use. All core features — practice recording, club management, social feed, chat, dojo map, equipment tracking, shinsa checklist, and Japanese learning module — are available at no cost on both iOS and Android.
How does Kyudo Global compare to other kyudo apps?
Most kyudo apps focus only on score tracking. Kyudo Global is the only app that combines training analytics with club management (attendance, events, announcements), social networking, real-time chat, a global dojo map (1,800+ dojos), equipment management with usage counters, shinsa preparation checklists, and a Japanese learning module — all in 18 languages.

feature overview for details.
How to manage a kyudo club digitally?
Kyudo Global provides a complete digital club management system. Create your club, invite members via invite code, manage attendance records, post announcements, schedule events, view member rankings and statistics, and share a club-exclusive social feed. It fully replaces paper-based tracking with smartphone convenience.

Does it support enteki (long-distance) scoring?
Yes. Kyudo Global supports both kinteki (28m near target) with hit/miss recording and arrow placement, and enteki (60m far target) with ANKF §42 ring-based scoring. Statistics are tracked separately for each discipline.
Can I use Kyudo Global for shinsa preparation?
