   Is there a way to specify where the log file should be written under
PC Gopher II? How about disabling its creation altogether? I've noticed
Gopher creates the log in the default directory, and that it will abort
after sounding a couple of beeps if the drive is write-protected.

   I'm running v1.04 for FTP Software's kernel, if it matters.

Is there software available to run a Gopher Server on VM/CMS?
We are running a Gopher Client but would be interested in server software
as well if it exists. Free- or shareware preferred, but if anyone knows of

I am using PC Gopher II 1.04 over an ethernet card at work and it works 
fine.  At home, however, using a SLIP connection, it doesn'work, "error 
locating server".  I can FTP and TELNET, although I have to use IP 
addresses, the namserver doesn't seem to work either.  Is there a connection 
here or does PC gopher just not support a SLIP connection?

Many thanks.

The good news: there's a DOS variable called G_LOG which you can set to
the full pathname of where you want the log to go.

The bad news: I think this only became available in version 1.05 of the packet
driver version of PC Gopher II so I doubt if it is available in the version
you are using.

I notice that Gopher 1.05 **CAN'T** run with FTP SW's DIS_PKT.GUP 1.30
packet driver adapter, but can run with 3C503.COM  10.1 packet driver.

In contrast, Trumpet 1.05 can run with either one.

Anyone have an idea what Gopher might be choking on?  He reports an
error that he can't initialize his TCP stack, and gives error 901 (?)
After exiting, the packet driver is hosed, and Trumpet tells me 
there are no handles for type 0806.  If I first run Trumpet, he exits
cleanly and lets other packet driver programs work.

I have heard much about the "target panic" problem, but have never
experienced it myself, at least I don't think so. Rather, I tend to
do something opposite: When I have drawn the bow and brought the
needle to the center of the target, there comes a moment when I
know that my aim is true and I should release, but I am -- for
some reason -- not ready to do it. I stand around and my aim wavers.
Then I have to get back to the target again, and now I am getting
tired... and I lose the arrow.

Weird, huh?!

I've had trouble with target panic in the past and managed to gain some 
control by shooting a large target face at short range. I know it must sound
weird but it did help me. I read once that the problem had something to do 
with a fear of not being able to score well. (lack of confidence)
Another thing that I felt helped was to place the target I normally shoot for
50-60 yards on the butt and start out shooting a few strings at 20, then 30,
and so on until I worked my way back to 60 yards. If I had any problems I'd
just move back to a shorter yardage to get my control back. Things like breath
control and establishing a pattern to shoot by all tend to give more confidence
and as a result more control.

One thing that might help in this situation is to always start with the pin
positioned above the target. Then you could let the pin settle into the target,
pause on the center and concentrate on the release at that point. Try to
remember that everybody wobbles a bit but there will be several seconds when
you first settle on the target where you will be at your steadiest so timing
your hold and release so you are ready to go when you get on target should
help greatly with your confidence. 

The best shooters I've ever shot with always had the same attitude regarding
hitting the target and that was total confidence. There was no question in 
their minds but that they would hit it and I believe that is what it takes
for all of us to do well. Hope this is of some help. Good shooting.

I used to have this problem and had used a clicker with moderate sucess to 
correct it.   I have
only shot target archery, so some of this may not apply to your situation. 

In the end I threw the clicker away because I realized there were several 
causes for the
target panic problem...

o Part of the problem is physical...your body needs to be conditioned so 
that you can shoot
   a complete target session (you specify the number of arrows) while 
still being able to
   keep your bow drawn sucessfully for 1 minute.

o Part of the problem is mental...you know you are getting tired with the 
bow drawn and you
   want to release...so the natural inclination is to release as soon as 
things get set up the 
   first time.

o Part of the problem is general technique and breathing...you should 
check your stance before
   you draw, breath in slowly while you draw your bow, make sure your bow 
arm is locked
   and your anchor point set - before you even consider looking for the 
bullseye.

If you practice this until it is second nature then what you will find out 
is that the first 5-10
seconds after everything looks lined up your body will still be 
compensating and the site pin
will draft across the face of the target.  During the next 10-20 seconds 
you will find that
your body will stabilize and you will be able to fixate on target without 
any wobble.  Past
30 seconds locked on the target, your body will start to wobble again 
because you are getting
tired (thats why you should physically condition yourself to be able to 
hold the bow in a
drawn condition for about twice as long as you feel necessary).

Good Luck...

The advice I heard for target panic training is: shoot at close
range, do not worry about hitting. It can even be advisable to have
a blank target. Concentrate instead on holding
the bow at full draw while you count to six (or whatever, but it should
be a longer-than-normal time).
When you have done this so that holding for a long time before you
release becomes natural, then start aiming and trying to hold the
aim still while you count -- and _do not release_. Draw, aim, hold
while you count, but do not shoot; just lower the bow, rest, and
do it again.
This is terrible, but people say it works.

 This is very sad, and I must say that I've noticed it to some extent here 
 in Texas as well.  It has made be wary of meeting fellow archers who are 
 strictly recurve shooters.  I have overcome the problem to some extent by
 buying  both a recurve and a longbow and shooting them enough to become 
 proficient with them.  It has been difficult for me to make the transition,
 but I'm there now.  Learning to shoot instinctive while maintaining my 
 current level of proficiency with peep and pins took every trick in the 
 book, from pacing exercizes to shooting exercizes, practicing with dominant
 eye open, non-dominent eye (only) open, both eyes open and yes, both eyes
 closed.  Learning to shoot decent groups at twenty yards with both eyes 
 closed was kicker that put me over the hump and gave me some good clues on 
 instinctive style shooting.

 I've also heard that this can make target panic dry up and blow away.  Dunno,
 I've never (to my knowledge) suffered from target panic.

 It helps a lot if you can show FITA archers and traditionalists that you can
 shoot instinctively with recurves and longbows as well as with compounds 
 although some can still be a bit snooty or perhaps even downright obnoxious.

 [Deletions...]

>He still wishes he could use a recurve and swears that recurves are "nicer"

 They can be.  They tend to be just plain fun, whereas a compound is a real 
 workhouse and a good one is the assasin of the bowhunting world, the over-
 whelming choice of bowhunters world wide who have access to them.

>        This is not an attempt to say that compounds are better than
>recurves. 

 Not at all.  I say you are absolutely correct on this.  Heck when it comes
 to frequency of shots placed through the nock, draw, anchor, aim, release,
 follow-through, an recurve shooter'll be done with his or her round and 
 watching you for technique while you finish your last five arrows.

>If it makes you happy, use whatever type of bow you want,

 Or maybe try to make friends and change their mind(s) if possible... If not,
 then tell 'em to go to hell... ;^)

 Yep, turkey hunters do use broadheads.  Your personal favorite will probably
 do OK, especially if you back it up with an adder (sometimes called a Roverine)
 to grab and twist and cut once you're own the bird.  Although there are several
 turkey spur broadheads currently on the market.  These are typically four
 bladed with two sets of the blades curving out rather visciously in a forward
 swinging arc, sharpened on the inside of the arc.  A judo point is reputed to
 work well too, especially if you slap on an adder behind it. 

 I don't think the wire heads are going to be very effective.  Heavy rubber  
 blunts might work in close at heavier draw weights 75 lbs and up.  I guess 
 you're already using floo-floo's or maybe ya gotta lotta old arrows you'd
 just as soon not see again... ;^)

 Happy hunting, and good luck.

RICH:
     I use the Centerrest Flipper with a High Country Bow and have
     experienced some problems with noise.  I use a small amount
     of Chapstick on the flipper rest.  Make sure the plastic
     covering is still on the flipper.  The chapstick seems to
     soften the plastic.  I like the Centerrest because it is
     very practical for the hunter.  If it breaks in the field;
     it's a simple replacement.  Also, keep your arrows clean from
     dust if possible.  I use Beman carbons, they are quieter than
     aluminum arrows when drawn across an arrow rest. Good Luck.

I agree with this 1000%.  I shoot a compound for hunting and enjoyment.  I
have not experienced target panic.  This may be because I was taught by an
experienced bowyer to settle on target from above.  This allows a smooth
transition to the center of the target because you naturally adjust
laterally while decending to the center of the target.  Try it.  It seems
to work for me.  

Happy shooting!
