Sylvan,Archers Advantage does consider the peep to arrow height at full draw and also peep to sight at full draw.

Sylvan, TFOX beat me to the post, I primarily use pinwheel software for various reasons, but it has a data spot for the peep to pin, and peep to arrow. the distance from peep to arrow is the sight radius. For my slider sight I don't shoot in any yardages. I plug in the data, roughly find 20 yards, install my sight tape. At this point I move back to 50 yards and set my sight so that 50 hits right on. At that point I will move the pointer to the 50 yard setting and the rest will follow. I can do the same for my pins with the sight template. I can adjust the pin gaps to match the printed sheet and I am on my way once 50 is set with the gang adjustments. It takes me about a half an hour from the time I start to the time that my bow is sighted in up to the farthest distance that I want to shoot.

Here is a little tip for setting the 3rd axis for those who have trouble. The second axis is easy to set on a jig, but on third axis , a jig cannot replicate hand torque (everyone has it) I set mine by shooting down hill at a 45 degree angle, and adjust the 3rd axis so it hits right on, this is the only true way to duplicate hand torque and adjust the 3rd axis. OK now, no more secrets.

It is hard to tell one yard discrepensies at 20 yards, and some times at 30 for the average archer. This program pin setting method falls right in at 50, because one yard discrepencies are much more noticible at 50 yards, so one can be a little more fine tuned to shoot x's or hit the hair that they are looking at.

HOLY COW, it shows the arrow in an upward trajectory, imagine that. Newton wasn't wrong after all.
