A working pipeline infers arrow tips and scores from photos with 3,500 annotated arrows and about 504 ends, using YOLO oriented detection plus a second pose model to resolve tip direction, then applies homography to face‑on coordinates to turn pixels into millimetres. Training runs in hours, detection hits ~31/32 arrows with rare false positives, and the system deploys to a Raspberry Pi for on‑range inference while failing most under harsh shadows and very tight clusters.
