The new version of the OnTarget Precision Calculator has been released
for sale. Version 2.10 comes with a 15 day free trial after which
time a permanent license may be purchased for $14.99. The freeware
version of OnTarget will continue to be available for download.
Which operating systems will OnTarget work with?
OnTarget has been tested in Windows 2000, XP sp1 and sp2, Vista, and
Windows 7. Contact the webmaster if you are interested in running
OnTarget under Linux. We are currently working to create an installation
package containing OnTarget v1.10 that will run on a Mac with an
Intel processor. Check back for avaialability.
Why does OnTarget tell me to get a new version when I try to open a file?
The most common cause of this error is trying to use the File/Open
command to open a graphics file. File/Open should only be used to
open existing .tgx files created using OnTarget. Use File/Open Image
or File/Insert Image From File to open the picture of your target.
When you try to use the File/Open to open an image OnTarget doesn't
recognize the file type so recommends that you get a newer version.
Future versions of OnTarget will do a second check for the supported
graphic file types and import the image file.
My distance and/or bullet hole size is not listed. What should I do?
If your target distance or bullet size are not listed in the drop down,
scroll to the top of the list, select the top item, "(yards)" or "(inches)",
and type in the value. Distance values should be entered in yards (33, 105.0,
500, etc...) and bullet sizes in inches (.224, .308, etc...). The size and
distance will initialize to the new value for all new groups until changed.
How do I print from OnTarget?
At this time OnTarget does not have printing capabilities. If you need to
print a target project we recommend that you save the project as a graphic
using either the "File/Save Project As Graphic..." or "File/Save View As
Graphic..." menu items. The resulting file can be opened in a graphics
program, such as Photoshop or Corel, or imported into a Word document and
then printed. OnTarget v2.10 will print out the target along with several
other new features.
Is it possible to change OnTarget to display metric values?
At this time OnTarget does not have a setting for displaying metric
measurements. We are planning to add the metric display option for
release in the Fall of 2010.
What is the cost for OnTarget v1.10?
OnTarget v1.10 has been released as freeware. Freeware products are provided free
of charge and may be used as many times as you like, for as long as you like.
We encourage you to recommend OnTarget to others who would benefit from its
use. Check the License and How To Buy sections of the help file for more
information.
