This is the OnTarget Quick Start guide. This short series of steps will get you started with OnTarget.

Download the latest copy of OnTarget Setup.

1. Run OnTarget-setup110.exe to install the program on your computer.
2. Double click on the OnTarget icon to start the program.
3. Open or scan an image. This will automatically create a new project.
4. If the image is from a digital camera you should set the reference distance. This will insure that all measurements and hole sizes are correct. Scanned images should have the reference distance set correctly.
5. Enter the target distance for the project. Many common ranges are listed in the Target Distance combo box.
6. Enter the correct hole size for the holes in the target. Many common bullets sizes are listed in the hole size combo box.
7. Zoom in on the portion of the target that has the group of bullet holes you want to work with. We'll do the other groups in a minute.
8. Click on the Point Of Aim tool. Place the cursor over the target aim point and click to set the aim point position
9. Click on the Enter Holes tool. The cursor will change to show that it is ready to define holes.
10. Left click your mouse in over the target and the cursor will change to a circle that is scaled for the bullet hole size. Position the circle over a hole and click the left mouse button.
11. Keep entering holes until you have finished the group. If you want to enter another group in the same project click on the new group button and start entering holes. To delete a group from the project select the group in the list and click on the Delete Group button.
12. You can enter other information such as: ammo type, notes, location, etc... in the fields provided in the Group Info and Target Info tabs.
13. To save the project click on the save toolbar button or go to File / Save. Use the File Save As dialog to select a location and name for the file then click OK.
14. To save the entire project or the current view of the target as a graphic file go to the File menu and select the appropriate menu item. Use the File Save As dialog to select a location, file name, and file type, then click OK to save the graphic.
