    Just watched the episode where Todd used the UNO App. I had just bought an IQ multi pin site after using an HHA for almost 3 years. Setting pins again is giving me fits so I thought I'd try this app.

    When using OT2 it printed out tapes that were spot on. I kinda already had the pins close but this app is putting my 30 where I'd set my 40 and it gradually gets 10+ yards off the further out I go.

    Decided to test against a good HHA tape I'd printed and it's the same there too. Plus I have a slider not a dial and it prints the tapes upside down and way too wide and they don't correspond to labels.

    Here's what I did:
    1) Chrono'd the bow and getting a good consistent reading.
    2) Measured center of peep down to center of arrow and got 4.5"
    3) Measured peep to site pin and got 26.75"
    4) Sited in my 20 to where I could hit a quarter
    5) Lined up the pins to the app

    My 20 will still hit a quarter but I set the pins at 20, 25, 30, 35 & 40. I have to back up to 32 yards to make my 25 yard pin drill the quarter. My 30 yard pin hits almost 8" high at 30 yards.

    What did I do wrong? Or, should I have just give a homeless man $10 so i could at least see him smile?

    Did you calibrate it?

    This app has been spot on for me. Hope you get it figured out

    A little off your topic but is the app available for Android or is it just an I-phone thing?

    My guess is the calibration is off,

    And it's available for both Android as well as iOS.

    I did calibrate it by laying the ruler on my phone and it matched at 1 and 2 inches.

    In the end I took the IQ site back. I liked it at first because I set my 20 yd pin and was just drilling the X and the retina lok taught me a little something about my grip that I actually fixed and transferred over to my HHA single pin.

    Once I started moving the other pins around for 30 yds and so on, I remembered why I left multi pin to begin with. Pins were either way to close together and cluttered up or too far apart for me to effectively pin gap.

    Also the quality of the IQ site left a bit to be desired, especially being used to an HHA. Granted I didn't buy their most expensive model but the retina lok wouldn't hold zero. I locked my bow in a vise and picked a fixed point to look thru and would periodically tap the riser and look thru. Way less of a tap than shooting, carrying thru the woods, bumpy atv ride, etc but it moved.

    I returned it and the slight change in grip has the HHA driving tacks.

    So now I have no idea what I'll use UNO for but I've wasted way more than $10 in my life.

    I just watched that episode also, this looks really interesting. I want to try it see if it gives me a different tape than I'm using. Just need to find someone with a Chromo.

    I actually didn’t use a chrono. I just used the speed calculated by OT2

    I've used OT2 and a chrono both and they're always dead nuts on. I would feel plenty confident in OT2 by itself.

    Ditto. If you're 100% accurate with your input in OT2 it'll give you a good FPS and a good tape.

    Does this app work with single pins as well?

    If you use an HHA with a slider it'll tell you which HHA tape to pick, as in which numbered tape to choose. You can print tapes but unless I'm missing something their printable tapes aren't usable on the slider models.

    For one thing with a slider you need the tape to start with 20 yds at the bottom, can't find an option to make that happen. It also prints the tapes WAY too wide to fit on the slider. It prints 10 yd increments on one side and 5 yds on the other as opposed to yds on one side at 20, 30, 40, etc and let the 5 yds be an understood line in the middle. This makes their tape almost exactly .75" wide and the slider accomodates .25".

    If there is a way to change that in Print Options I can't find it. Also, it prints the tapes vertically and a quick search didn't reveal any blank labels that were vertical, they were all horizontal. There may be though I didn't spend a ton of time looking for them. I have a slider model and it's a moot point anyway.

    If you still have all of your HHA tapes and didn't have to burn a specific tape you need because you changed peep height, anchor, etc you're ok. If you shoot the slider model you probably realize the slider tapes don't come in 1 yard increments thus the reason i print my own.

    I'm pretty computer savvy and a stickler for mathematical details and dabbled with a multi pin for a couple of days and went back to my HHA. I've referenced everything but congress and the Pope and the site pin spacing it gave me was way off. I get EXCELLENT tapes from OT2 and thought I'd compare and they're way off.

    I'll port a side by side pic with my phone in a second.

    IMG_1895.JPG Here's a side by side with OT2 on the left. First off you notice the UNO one on the right would be way too wide and upside down for the slider model. The OT2 one is spot on at least to 60 yds I know for sure.

    Look how cold I would be shooting with the UNO tape on the front end and all of the sudden at 30 it's equal to about 23 on OT2 and progressively gets worse until their 60 is equal to my 52.
