Archery PDA software for pocket PC

Question:

Hi all. I fell down the stairs & broke my bowarm (elbow joint) So I purchased a PDA to have something to play with. I notice that all the software out there is for a Palm. Is there any for a Pocket PC? Regards Pete

Not that I’m aware of – there’s TargetPlot and AAPalm for the Palm, and I can’t think of any other PDA archery software. Of course, you could just get a Palm… – there’s a Palm V on eBay for a less than ridiculous amount at the moment. Hope your arm gets better sharpish, or at least in time for outdoor season. 7om

Well… I came across this one (if your Spanish is any good…) http://perso.wanadoo.es/fernandodediego/info.html#_Toc32893858 but I can’t tell if this is a live page. I don’t know if any of the Java stuff around can be made to run on Wince – it might be worth a try (I think both Sun and IBM have VMs which run on PDA platforms). – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Hi all. > I fell down the stairs & broke my bowarm (elbow joint) > So I purchased a PDA to have something to play with. > I notice that all the software out there is for a Palm. > Is there any for a Pocket PC? > Regards > Pete

Best shooting comeback line ever….

Question:

Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you got to love this!!!! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base? GENERAL REINWALD: We’re going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That’s a bit irresponsible, isn’t it? GENERAL REINWALD: I don’t see why, they’ll be properly supervised on the rifle range. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don’t you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children? GENERAL REINWALD: I don’t see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm. FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you’re equipping them to become violent killers. GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you’re equipped to be a prostitute, but you’re not one, are you? The radio went silent and the interview ended.

In that case, you might want to check out "Cheltenham Archers" (I shoot part-time with them too).  Great club, IMHO.  "Black & Gold" (Glos.) are a pretty good crowd too. Have you looked at www.gloucestershirearcherysociety.co.uk ? -Mac

Second that – I shot with Cheltenham Archers for a year while I was based there, but Black And Gold made it a hard decision on which lot to join! Jonny

Response:

Hi, Any recommendations for a club in the Gloucester area (UK)? I haven’t shot for a couple of years, so will be nuff rusty! I’d prefer a smallish club, and I shoot compound. I’ve shot the bow once every few months, just to make sure nothing seizes up, and it’s feeling good. I used to shoot for Bowmen of the Deans, but their Thursday night meetings clash with university (although any other night would be fine). Obviously, somewhere with an indoor range would be useful in the inclement weather. I could travel to Herefordshire or Worcestershire if it’s for the right club. I’m not looking to get amazing at the sport, but want somewhere friendly, where I can get appropriate coaching to get me back into it. Thanks! Daniel Vesma

Peter S. Saly

Question:

Peter S. Saly is an incontinent LOSER that cannot exist without causing disharmony where ever he is.  He’s not happy unless everybody is as miserable as he is.  He’s no archer – ask him what tournament he ever shot in – the answer is none.  He’s pissed off so many people in his twisted life that he doesn’t dare go shoot at an archery shot because someone there might have an accidental release. To see how despised and reviled he is in EVERY usenet group he has ever been in (and man are there a lot) use http://groups.google.com  and look up (search) on Peter Saly.  Notice that there are over 77,500 hits returned ’cause Petey has a LOT of people angry with him, and ALL of them that do not have him as the sender are essentially announcing what is already very obvious from his posts up here.  He is a dilettante of archery, having been run out of cooking, home improvements, canadian, psychology, gardening, cooking, and numerous other groups. You know he has to be sick – he’s even been run out of the psychotherapy group. LOL He gets his jollies by arguing and belittling anyone that disagrees with him – it is a pathological thing with him – some people are congenital liars – PeterGirl is congenitally male genital-less and has to pick fights until everybody gets wise and puts a filter on so they can ignore his rantings.  He gets incredibly foul.  Even the French Canadian and the Belgium groups curse him. He seems to think he can freely insult people and never expects someone to knock on his door in Minneapolis and smack him in his ugly mug.  He’s around 40, he was shunned by all of his associates in Canada. Now he  lives off of his parents and a disability check in Minneapolis. Leaching off of your parents is  a damn shame as it is, but moving to the same city just to wait for them to die is sickening. Petey needs to learn how to earn his own money and not wait to inherit his existance from his poor parent’s years of accomplishments and hard work. The best thing everyone here can do is SHUN him.  Don’t respond – its torture to him to not be able to get a rise out of anyone here.   Or just reply to his post with the one most accurate word to describe him.  LOSER. — This post was anonymized at http://www.xganon.com —

Response:

As it happens, we got all three! We got: (1) good archery weather, warm, enough cloud cover to prevent it getting too hot, slight breeze (enough to be pleasant) and a little shower as we finished shooting (2) I shot well and true taking second place in my own category (3) everyone said what a great day they had had and many said we should do more. Considering that this was the first tournament that we (the current administration) had ever organised, we accept this as a generous pat on the back! A big thankyou to everyone who helped and every one who turned up for making the day so special

GNAS Forum

Question:

Guys, Does anybody know why the GNAS Forum has been taken off-line suddenly…. I’ve read that nutters post below and went in for a look-see…but its dead now. David

Response:

WebBat typed the following message: > Does anybody know why the GNAS Forum has been taken off-line > suddenly….

Perhaps because the clown below who bitched and moaned about it so much, and kept posting messages to their forum which had nothing to do with archery, it is possible that it might have been deemed not feasible for the admin to keep it up. So instead of a forum which may (or may not) have had some problems, GNAS site viewers have *no* forum to use for the time being. I don’t blame the admin from pulling it. I would have done the same thing under similar circumstances. Too much trouble with all the pissing and moaning going on for it to be worthwhile.

Response:

Actually, I think I’ll modify this statement of mine… If I were in charge of their site, I’d take the board offline for a short time, and then I’d drop an .htaccess file (simply a text file named .htaccess) into the forum directory on their Zeus/4.1 server containing the following: <Limit GET> order allow,deny deny from 213.122.174.          * (block by /24 block-256 addresses) deny from 213.122.174.158   * (block by single IP if it is static) allow from all </Limit> One would remove the stuff in parenthesis after the asterisk before placing in .htaccess file like this: <Limit GET> order allow,deny deny from 213.122.174. deny from 213.122.174.158 allow from all </Limit> This would keep Ian, Locke or ekcol or whatever name he morphed himself into, completely off the forum using selected IP address(es), but would allow the abuser to continue to access other parts of the website. This way, the "rude" keyword could be deleted, and would allow others to post without fear of having their posts zapped, and would give the site admin better administration over the forum abuser. Just in case *someone* (Neil?) who might be reading this board wants to know how to remove this type of abuser with a little more surgical precision…

Response:

Too late. The forum has now been "removed permanently due to sustained misuse". Interesting term, that, "misuse". I can’t ever recall a definition of it being supplied, but it seems to be "critiscism of the admin". So far as I can tell, there was only one person doing that… Unless it’s referring to the recent topics on the quality of coach training. But I can’t imagine how that could validly be labelled "misuse". It’s not as if anyone was saying anything which hadn’t been said before. At great length. On numerous electronic and print forums… ho hum. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Ron Reddon typed the following message: > I don’t blame the admin from > pulling it.

I would surmise, the page has probably been removed, due to incorrect or abusive listings, perhaps put there by the whining little garden slug who came in here and bitched and moaned about their website. From the GNAS website: "The Online Tournament Diary has been permanently removed due to sustained misuse." Too bad… I’d say you can blame Locke, or whatever name it ended up under. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out that most of the bogus entries in that diary were put there by him/her/it, which destroyed any value it provided to the overall GNAS web site. I don’t blame the site administrator for gaining control of their website. Abuse a site like that, and poof, it quickly loses its beneficial value not only for the web admin or other users, but also for the entire organization altogether. AAMOF it fast becomes a serious liability for the larger organization as a whole, to have their organization’s site (its "global face" if you will) turned into an abuse-filled hostel. Pretty sad that those who consider themselves archers can’t comport themselves on an archery site in a demeanor that exalts the sport, rather than acting in a way that serves to demean it, and causes an entire organization to consider retreating off the web. I guess Locke got what he wanted. You might ask him/her/it, if it was worth it.

Spoting scope

See usenet archives for more discussions on spotting scopes, but yes, 25×60 will generally be suitable for 100y spotting, but beware that some 25×60 scopes give better images than others (image quality, light transmission and field of view and eye relief are all factors to be taken into consideration when chosing a scope – see http://www.obm.co.uk/choosing/spottingscope.htm for a description) Then of course there’s the waterproof/armoured options to consider. One of my favourite scopes (aso a favourite of full and small-bore rifle shooters) is the Opticron AA63A (http://www.obm.co.uk/products/db/40302.htm) which is only 22×60 but gives a large, bright image with a wide field of view and good eye relief.

I’ve got an Opticron 22×70 and still have difficulty seeing nocks sometimes. It’s not the clarity, it’s the lack of magnification.  I tried out a zoom eyepiece at a local shop and I’m definitely going to get one – it makes a hell of a difference.  So, I would recommend at least 22×50 with some sort of zoom. There is a scope and tripod set at www.quicks.com that looks pretty reasonable for the money (but I have not tried it – it just looks good on spec, IMHO). If you get a straight scope, you might want to consider getting a tripod with mount capable of z-axis rotation – it can make life much easier.  If you can get one that rotates in X, Y and Z you can pretty much cope with any ground variations.

Gyro vanes

Question:

Hi ALL, 2 days ago I got a hint in an archery based www-forum about GYRO-vanes. The vanes should look like Kurleys or spin-wings but made from the same plastic like FFP or Arizona vanes. AND they should have a "foot" like the *normal* vane to glue. Anybody know this vanes and has a address to order? — Sven

Response:

Sven, Gyro-vanes were a soft rubber vane made by the spin-wing people. They discontinued them a few years back (I’m not sure how many), I believe. I think they didn’t perform as well or weren’t as popular as spin-wings (maybe both). I see them turn up still on odd occaisions, so I guess there might be small amounts of stock still sitting on dealers shelves. I don’t know of any, though.

Yes. They are Super Flonite Spin vanes. They are manufactured by Nihon Baymetal in Japan. Otherthan that I can’t help, but you could try finding a Super Flonite dealer and asking them.

No. Gyro Vanes were manufactured bu Range-o-Matic, and were discontinued a few years back. Super Flonites are a K Arcery product. M
