"A" Team Pointer.zip - This is a substitute Pointer/Cursor for use on your computer.  This Pointer was designed by The "A" Team and it has been our favorite pointer for almost a year.  It is large, highly visible and just animated enough to draw your attention to the tip of the pointer.  Give it a try.

A_Team_FTLB_Calculator.zip - This is a Foot Pound Calculator and Foot Pound Limit Table.  This Excel File lists 85 of the most common pellets with their weights.  By inputting a Foot Pound Limit  in 1 Cell it automatically calculates the velocity limit for all of the pellets in the table.  There is a separate section to input your pellet weight and velocity and the Foot Pound result is immediately listed.  A good aid for pellet comparisons and limits at the range and for matches.

AG_Trig.zip - This is an Excel spread sheet which calculates the target height in trees, the angles of incline to the target, distance to the base of tree the target is in, and distance to the target on incline.  The squares rule is also included.  It also gives you the amount to shim a scope to get your Point Of Aim (POA) to match your Point Of Impact (POI).  A must for properly setting up a scope.  I always needed to look up the equations to calculate these things by hand but now it is an easy matter of inputting 2 givens and getting all of the possible results.  All necessary instructions are built in.  Great for Hunters and Field Target shooters who want to know the angle they are shooting at or the height of the target in the tree. 

Match_Results.zip - This is an Excel spread sheet used to create match results and corresponding graphs of match analysis.  There is no need to know how to use Excel as there is an instruction page.  The spread sheet will automatically calculate shooters percentages, shooters ratings, graph target difficulty distributions, graph target yardage distributions, and graph sorted target difficulties used for the shooters ratings.  Remember there is no need to be fluent in excel to use the file.

Alle notwendigen Formulare sind enthalten (Ergebniserfassung, Parcours-Layout, Parcours-Schwierigkeitsstatistik, Registrierungsliste, Wettbewerbsstatistik und "Mogelblatt"). Man muß lediglich 1 Tabelle ausfüllen (1 Ziel pro Lane-Zeile) und alle anderen Formulare werden automatisch angelegt. Man kann unter vielen unterschiedlichen Parcoursformaten wählen (10 Lanes mit jeweils 2 Zielen pro Lane, 15 Lanes mit jeweils 2 Zielen pro Lane, 10 Lanes mit 3 Zielen pro Lane und 10 Lanes mit 5 Zielen pro Lane). Jede dieser Formatvorlagen kann "leere Ziele" enthalten, so daß man die Gesamtzahl der Ziele variieren kann. Wenn man noch niemals einen Field-Target-Parcours eingerichtet hat, einen leichten und umfassenden Weg dafür sucht und die notwendigen Formulare dazu erstellt haben will, dann ist dies der vollständigste Assisatent, den man nur haben kann. Hinweis: Excel 95 und 97-Benutzer können eventuell Schwierigkeiten mit dieser Datei haben, weil alle Formatierungen verloren gehen können, wenn man im Excel 95-Format abspeichert!
