About
OT2Go, developed by Pinwheel Software, is a specialized archery ballistics tool designed to help archers of all skill levels optimize their equipment setup. The app centers on arrow spine selection — guiding users through finding the perfect arrow match based on bow configuration, draw weight, arrow length, and weight-on-string components. The app is organized around a clean tabbed interface with three primary views: Find Match, Quick Change, and Filters. Find Match walks users through the arrow selection process, Quick Change lets you rapidly adjust commonly modified parameters, and Filters narrow search results to specific arrow brands or specifications. Bow and arrow components are fully configurable, allowing archers to save and manage multiple user records for different setups or clients. A Dynamic Spine Dial provides a visual, circular readout of dynamic spine relative to the selected shaft brand and model. Premium features — unlockable via an in-app store — extend the app's capabilities with additional tools. The app also includes Stickbow Setup Tips for traditional/recurve archers and a Spine 101 educational section covering spine theory and fundamentals. OT2Go is ideal for competitive archers, coaches, and pro shop professionals who need a reliable, on-the-go reference for arrow tuning and equipment configuration. Its intuitive mobile UI, spinner controls, and color-coded input fields make complex ballistics calculations accessible without specialized knowledge.
