Hedge Archery vs HoldPoint

For Competition Archery The heart of Helical Edge is its mobile app, featuring a powerful ballistics calculator that performs real-time calculations directly in the field.It provides exact sight marks for any distance—down to decimals of a yard or meter—eliminating guesswork. Key adjustments include wind compensation (e.g., for arrows drifting six inches), precise aim-offs for low-visibility targets like ASA rings or wind drifts (horizontal and vertical shifts), close-range fine-tuning, and experimental methods for extreme uphill shots beyond standard cosine corrections. If marks run consistently high or low, simply input a corrected mark at an odd distance (like 52.5 yards), and the app recalibrates everything on the fly. Minimal data entry means you can generate usable marks with just one sight input, perfect for mid-tournament equipment fixes under time pressure. Data syncs effortlessly to the cloud, allowing access via a web browser on your computer. There, you can generate and print professional PDF sight tapes, along with comprehensive mark lists—including close marks and all others in 0.5-yard or meter increments—formatted for standard 8.5 x 11 paper. Note: Real-time calculations are exclusive to the app, while sight tapes and printable marks are web-only features. For Hunting (Pin Sights) Archery Tailored for using pin sights, the mobile app simplifies setup with intuitive tools. Start by sighting in a closer-distance mark, then hold your phone behind the sight cage to overlay a predicted pin layout for quick visual alignment. Confirm a second distance to refine pin gaps, and add a third using the built-in caliper tool for perfectly spaced pins across your desired ranges. Close sight marks are readily available in-app for on-the-spot reference, reducing time spent shooting broadheads and minimizing target wear. Like the competition side, all data saves to the cloud for web access on your computer, where you can print custom PDF sight tapes extending beyond your farthest pin, plus equivalent close marks—all optimized for 8.5 x 11 paper. This ensures reliable backups and easy sharing. Note: Pin measurement and alignment tools are app-exclusive, while sight tapes and printables are available only via the web browser.

You know Kentucky windage: hold a little high, hope a little harder, and call it good enough. HoldPoint turns that guess into a clear hold point you can see through your scope. HoldPoint is built for the shooter who doesn’t want a cockpit of ballistics controls in the field. Mount your iPhone behind the scope, zoom until the view matches your eye, align the crosshair, optionally scale from your real MOA reticle marks, and get one clean holdover reference. Under the hood, HoldPoint runs trajectory math for your cartridge and zero—not a one-size-fits-all hold chart—so the MOA hold reflects your load at your distance. BUILT FOR REAL SCOPES • Live camera view through your optic—use your scope like you already do • Camera zoom to match what your eye sees through the scope • Align the overlay crosshair to your real reticle center • Scale hold placement from a known 8 MOA reticle mark when using FFP or known subtension reticles • Flip the display for upside-down phone mounts that clear rifle or optic obstructions HOLDOVER YOU CAN TRUST • Trajectory-based solver for drop and hold • MOA hold on the live scope view, MIL reference in settings • Pick a cartridge preset or dial in bullet weight, powder charge, BC, and zero • Set target range and see hold, drop, and time of flight at a glance • Fallback scope FOV tuning for reticles that don’t need scale calibration SIMPLE WHEN YOU WANT IT, DETAILED WHEN YOU NEED IT • Quick setup: mount, zoom, align, set range, read hold • Advanced controls: drag model (G1/G7), sight height, custom muzzle velocity, and more • First-launch walkthrough for mount, flip, zoom, reticle scaling, alignment, and ballistics setup • One purchase. No subscription. WHO IT’S FOR • Hunters, range shooters, and enthusiasts who want hold on glass, not in their head • Anyone tired of mental math, hash marks that don’t match the load, or “close enough” at distance • Shooters who want a simpler alternative to dense ballistics dashboards REQUIREMENTS • iPhone with camera • Scope or optic with an eyepiece you can mount a phone behind • Safe range, hunting, or field environment where phone mounting is permitted SAFETY • HoldPoint provides ballistic estimates and visual holdover references for informational use only. Always follow firearm safety rules, verify your target and what is beyond it, and comply with all laws and range rules. • Ballistic calculations can be affected by ammunition, rifle setup, scope calibration, weather, distance, and user input. Always confirm holds on paper or steel before hunting, competition, or field use. • HoldPoint doesn’t replace muzzle discipline, wind calls, range verification, or responsible judgment. It gives you a clear starting hold so you spend less time guessing and more time confirming.
