Default Pinwheel software (OnTarget2)

Has anyone toyed around with that pinwheel software product called "OnTarget" or something like that?

I just downloaded the trial version of it and goofed around with it. Interesting! I have no idea what a bunch of the other figures are talking about, but it is cool.

They don't have the Reflex Highlander listed, so I used the Grizzly as a model, then changed the ATA to 36". I found the Beman ICS Hunter 340 listed in their database along with sights, etc... So I let the program default to what it used for calculations.

This is cool!!! Check out the cropped photo below. This is my new Reflex Highlander at 67# and a 29" draw with a 100 grain target tip on a Beman ICS Hunter arrow at 29". My spine weight, arrow KE, FOC all look fine to me! [8D]

Look at the arrow velocity... 273fps!! Wow.... If I screw on a 125 grain target point, then it becomes:
Velocity: 268 and an FOC of 12.22 and KE of 71.17
and the spine marker moves slightly down to weak in the photo.

I have it and LOVE it.....very helpful. It was also helpful for setting up an adjustable sight like my ANTS with the lense that I use for spots, MBO class 3D, and FITA. Printing a sight tape and knowing it is dead on every time is soooooo helpful in the confidence department when shooting at longer range. The tape I have for my Constitution goes out to 110 yards and is accurate at those distances too.

I've been using 'The Archery Program' for the last two years and it seems as they bow spit out the same thing. Really interesting and useful and I've had alot of fun using it.
