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

Response:

I have a Winact with 66" 38lb Border XP10 Evolution limbs. I have no real issues with the riser, but there are some points you should be aware of (if you’re not already). 1. it’s painted rather than anodised. Paint is necessarily a less durable finish than anodising, that said, the few chips I’ve picked up in 3-4 years of shooting, are mostly due to my lack of attention. 2. the limb allignment/adjustment system is a little bit fiddly, requiring the use of two wrenches to get it right. Naturally, only one wrench is supplied with the handle… I gimmicked a second one out of a wire coat hanger, which is good enough for holding the thing stationary during adjustments. 3. I’m having a little difficulty getting hold of a low grip for it (it came with a medium-high grip). If that would be your preference, make sure you specify it early on. 4. there is no bushing for a back rod. I’ve heard that W&W make a rod threaded to fit the limb adjustment holes on the back of the riser, but I’ve never seen one. So if you follow the current US fashion of long rod/back rod, that’s something to consider. Having said that, I’d say go for it: "it just works" as they say. The balance of the handle is good even without stabilisers, everything fits (standard imperial threads, of course) and nothing rattles loose. I would point out that current world records have been shot with this riser, but we all know that archers *that* good could shoot with a brick, and still win… – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Greetings all, > I’m looking at a new bow set up, and am curious as to your opinions and > experiences with the WinAct riser.

If you mean on the internet, http://www.archerysmallads.com/ has a small following, but is the only dedicated for-sale site I know of. You could chance EBAY.CO.UK, but I don’t know how may, if any, archers frequent that. Alterntively, if you check out the GNAS web site and get the address of some local clubs, you could send the info to their secretaries directly. You never know. Cheers, — Murray

Fraud on eBay with archery items

Question:

To all archers. I was bidding on eBay auction site and came across a possible fraud scam.  I was tipped off by another archer and thru my own mere stupidity found out that this seller on eBay was indeed a scam artist.  jarrod.mills is the seller out of Indiana he also uses jarrodsystems for other items such as cameras.  Watch out.

I was notified of the same info.  Probably true as Jarrod never responds to E-Mails about the items.  But could also be a rival bidder keeping the price down on a desired item.  Either way I love the Martin Ocelot I had Kris at Archers Afield ship me.  It has rained a bit and I developed a badly impacted wisdom tooth so I am really bummed I can’t be out there using it right now. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >To all archers.

Just so that you know about the facts before posting a comment on a dredful registered user now.  is a fraud.  He/she took images from previously high end archery items and relisted them using the previuos sellers info.  He/she relisted them as no reserve auctions and when asked questions on those items there was no response.  There was also no response when he/she was asked to ship the item COD.  I was warned by others but it was my own investigation that individual as they have the same email address!!!!! This fraud and scam artist is trying to burn fellow archers and I cannot sit and watch that happen.  This archery community doesn’t need someone like this to ruin a good thing for us such as eBay.  Also I strongly recomment that any archer who finds themselves in a similar situation to do the same excat thing and that is to blow them out of the water.  Thank you very much no spam and others alike. good shooting Sam – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Checked eBay.

I don’t have great artistic talent, so I get most of my thumb rings from Koreans who know what they’re doing.  The exception being, I have made some from pools balls (I had a short article in Instinctive Archer a year or two ago on how to do it).  Most Korean thumb rings are made from horn, of which I have many.

Sorry about that; when you use something for so long, you forget there are billions of people who don’t know what you’re talking about. Thumb rings are ancient releases used by many Near/Far Eastern cultures. They came in many shapes and materials; horn being the most common in Korea, both then and now (jade, bone, metals, etc. being others).  The typical Korean shape is like a teardrop. The main object is to protect the thumb from the string.  It is a very smooth release, as you only have one surface for the string to leave, as opposed to three in a three-fingered draw.  You can also have a longer draw, as you won’t get finger pinch at long draws.  I will, briefly, outline the steps, as I have them in a brochure I give people (the brochure has pics, which help). Looking at a Korean style thumb ring from the side the thumb is inserted in. To begin with, the thumb is put through the thumb ring from the rounded side at a ninety degree angle to the thumb. The ring is positioned just in back of the thumb’s knuckle. The ring is turned ninety degrees, so that the ring protects the pad of the thumb. The string is positioned where the ring and thumb meet. The index finger wraps around the thumb, like you are going to flip a coin. The arrow will rest and be nocked just above the thumb and next to the index finger. With your feet at a 2 o’clock (right-handed) position, nock your arrow and sight your target. Raise your bow and prepare to "push the mountain and pull the tiger’s tail." Draw the string straight back and anchor when the back of the tip of the arrow touches your bow-hand thumb.  The bow should be slightly canted toward the arrow side. Release smoothly.  A fraction of a second after release, let the lower limb of the bow dip in toward your bow-arm armpit. I hope this helps.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know. Thomas http://www.ncmc.cc.mi.us/esl/korarch.html

After shooting a PSE for 7 years, I wanted a second bow, so I bought a Buckmaster too. With my PSE EDGE 50 50 serie, I got quite few deer, 2 black bears and small game. My buckmaster is still on my wall, waiting that my PSE die, then I`ll use it. Why? It vibrates a lot, too much recoil, the Zebra string and cables stretch way too much(in 2 weeks almost 1 and 1/2 inches) and  it is very noisy. About speed? With the same arrows, same poundage, my old PSE is 27fps faster than the Buckmaster. That is why is still hanging on my wall.
