What is Garmin ArcheryX?

ArcheryX is an activity profile on the Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro that tracks bow arm movement, hold steadiness (minutes of angle), shot execution time, aim trace and biometrics during compound bow shooting sessions. Data syncs to the ShotView app for trend analysis.

Does ArcheryX work with recurve or traditional bows?

Garmin specifies ArcheryX for compound bows only. Recurve and traditional bow compatibility is not mentioned in the official announcement.

Which Garmin watches support ArcheryX?

ArcheryX is available on the Fenix 9 and Fenix 9 Pro at launch. It is not available on the Fenix 8 or earlier models.

What is minutes of angle on ArcheryX?

Minutes of angle (MOA) is a measure of angular accuracy. ArcheryX uses it to express hold steadiness during each shot — a lower MOA figure indicates steadier hold. Archers can compare their MOA reading against where the arrow hits to assess whether technique or execution is the limiting factor.

What is the ShotView app?

ShotView is Garmin’s companion app for ArcheryX. It receives session data from Garmin Connect and displays shooting trends over time, including arrow count totals, MOA trends, aim trace history and shot execution time across sessions.
