"I personally recommend is Drill Draw Pro.  Version 5 is available for download and you can demo the software before you purchase it.  I've been beta testing Version 5 since late July and I can say that it blows away anything else that I've used.  I really appreciate the software developer because they've been very quick to include feature requests.  Contact me with questions or to get an export of my drill and practice plan database.   " - Dash
