What Quiver is for

The questions that come up whenever someone picks up a bow — what's actually different between a recurve and a compound, what draw length am I, what's a reasonable starting draw weight, why does arrow spine matter, how does scoring even work, what happens at the Olympics, and what are the real safety rules on a range — answered from one hand-curated archery reference, without a scroll through a dozen contradictory forum threads.

What it does

Characteristics and typical use for the four main bow types — recurve, compound, longbow, and traditional/barebow (bow_type_info); a real draw-length calculator using the standard wingspan-divided-by-2.5 formula, with a height-based fallback table, and a reminder that a professional shop fitting is more accurate (draw_length_estimate); general starting draw-weight ranges in pounds by experience level and age band — from a first-time adult through youth bands to an experienced target archer — plus notes on build and on compound-versus- recurve perceived effort (draw_weight_guide); a conceptual explanation of arrow spine (shaft stiffness) and the general factors that affect selection — draw weight, arrow length, point weight, bow type — deliberately without a precise number, since a real spine choice needs a manufacturer's chart for the exact setup (arrow_spine_guide); how scoring works in target archery's 10-ring system, field archery's several round types (field, hunter, animal, and the World Archery field round), and 3D archery (scoring_system_info); the Olympic recurve competition format — the 72-arrow ranking round, the set-system head-to-head matches, team and mixed-team play — and the compound format's cumulative 15-arrow matches, which are not currently part of the Olympic program (competition_format_info); genuinely important range-safety fundamentals drawn from widely-taught archery safety principles, covering both the universal rules and the practical details of range commands and safe arrow retrieval (range_safety_guide); a glossary of about 15 common equipment terms — nock, fletching, riser, cam, let-off, anchor point, clicker and more (equipment_glossary); and a keyword search across every section (search).

What it is not

Not a substitute for hands-on coaching or a professional bow fitting: draw-length and draw-weight figures are useful starting estimates, not a final spec, and arrow_spine_guide explains the concept and general factors rather than outputting a specific spine number, because a real choice depends on the exact combination of bow, draw weight, draw length, arrow length and point weight, and differs by arrow brand. The range-safety content covers general, widely-taught principles, not a specific facility's own posted rulebook — always follow the actual rules and a range officer's instructions at the range you are shooting on.

Tools

Equipment

bow_type_info — Characteristics and typical use of a bow type — recurve, compound, longbow, or traditional (barebow-style). Use for "what's the difference between a recurve and a compound bow", "what is a longbow". Args: name.

arrow_spine_guide — Explains the arrow-spine concept (shaft stiffness/flex) and the general factors that affect selection — draw weight, arrow length, point weight, bow type — conceptually, without a precise chart (exact selection needs a manufacturer's spine chart for a specific setup). Use for "what is arrow spine", "what affects which arrow spine I need".

equipment_glossary — Definitions of common archery equipment terms (nock, fletching, riser, cam, let-off, anchor point, and more). Use for "what does let-off mean", "what's a clicker in archery". Args: term.

Calculators

draw_length_estimate — Estimate a starting draw length from wingspan (the standard wingspan / 2.5 formula) and/or height, with a note that a professional shop fitting is more accurate. Use for "estimate my draw length", "what draw length do I need if my wingspan is 68 inches". Args: height_inches, wingspan_inches.

draw_weight_guide — General starting draw-weight ranges (in pounds) by experience level or age band, plus notes on build, compound-vs-recurve perceived effort, and bowhunting minimums. Use for "what draw weight should a beginner start with", "draw weight for a 12-year-old". Args: experience_level.

Scoring & competition

scoring_system_info — How scoring works in target archery (10-ring), field archery (field/hunter/animal/WA field rounds), or 3D archery. Use for "how does archery scoring work", "what's the difference between field and target scoring". Args: discipline.

competition_format_info — The Olympic recurve competition format (ranking round, set-system matches, team and mixed-team) and/or the compound format (cumulative 15-arrow matches; not currently an Olympic event). Use for "how does Olympic archery scoring work", "what's the compound archery match format". Args: format_name.

Safety & search

range_safety_guide — Core archery range-safety fundamentals — never point a bow at anything you don't intend to shoot, range commands, safe arrow retrieval, and more — drawn from widely-taught safety principles (not one specific range's own posted rules). Use for "archery safety rules", "how do I retrieve arrows safely".

search — Search bow types, glossary terms, scoring systems, competition formats, arrow spine, range safety, and draw-weight/draw-length guidance for a keyword. Use for "find everything about let-off", "search for field archery". Args: query.

Conventions

• Read-only. Every tool reads public data or computes; nothing is written anywhere and nothing about the user is stored.
• Result envelope. ok: true with data, or ok: false with a structured error (bad_input, not_found, upstream_error). degraded lists optional sources that were unreachable.
• Rate limits. Free tier 60 tool calls/minute and 300/day per user (keyed on the user identifier supplied by the host agent, else client IP); Pro keys raise this. Over-limit calls return HTTP 429 with Retry-After. initialize and tools/list are never counted.

Quiver — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Quiver is. Quiver is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for a recreational/target archery reference and calculator: bow-type facts, a draw-length and draw-weight calculator, arrow-spine concepts, scoring systems, competition formats, range-safety fundamentals, and an equipment glossary. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the arguments needed for that one lookup or calculation.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call — a bow-type name, a height or wingspan in inches, an experience level, a discipline or format name, a glossary term, or a search keyword — the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Everything is answered from a bundled, hand-curated reference file and computed locally, and nothing is stored. No request is forwarded to any third party — there is no upstream call at all, live or otherwise — and no query is logged in request bodies, recorded, or used to train anything.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant, your name, or any identifying information about you, and we do not build a profile from your queries: each request (including a height or wingspan you enter for the draw-length calculator) is answered independently and nothing carries over between requests. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None — the entire dataset is bundled with the server and answered locally. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. Our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Quiver is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.

Quiver — Terms of Service

Effective 24 September 2026. These terms govern use of the Quiver connector ("the Service") operated by Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us").

1. The Service. Quiver returns a hand-curated recreational/target archery reference and calculator — bow-type characteristics, a draw-length and draw-weight calculator, arrow-spine concepts, scoring systems, competition formats, range-safety fundamentals, and an equipment glossary — from data and logic bundled with the server. It is accessed through an AI assistant or directly over MCP or HTTP.
2. General information, not professional instruction. Quiver provides general archery reference information and starting-point estimates for convenience only. It is not a substitute for hands-on coaching, a professional bow fitting, or a manufacturer's arrow-spine chart, and its range-safety content describes general, widely-taught principles rather than any specific facility's own posted rules. Always follow the actual rules, signage, and a range officer's or instructor's directions at the range or facility where you are shooting.
3. Individual results vary. A draw-length or draw-weight figure is a starting estimate, not a guarantee of fit or comfort — actual anatomy, strength, and form vary between people of similar height or wingspan, and a shop fitting on real equipment is more accurate.
4. Acceptable use. Automated use within the published rate limits is welcome.
5. Availability. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty. We may change, limit or discontinue it at any time.
6. Data. Our Privacy Policy describes what we process. In short: your query is answered from a bundled reference file and local computation, and nothing is stored.
7. Pro keys. Optional Pro API keys are issued at our discretion, are personal to the holder and may be revoked for abuse.
8. Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Unify Dynamics LLC is not liable for any loss — including any injury arising from archery activity — from use of or reliance on the Service. Archery involves inherent risk; the Service is a reference tool, not supervision, instruction, or a safety guarantee. Our total liability is limited to US $100.
9. Governing law. California law; venue in San Mateo County, California.
