Don't use frontpage, it's seriously bad
Avoid cheesy photos.

I think that goes for all websites!

Another tip is don't have any of those 'cursor trails' that are available, they're seriously annoying!

Thanks for the great advice folks, especially Marcus.

Interesting to see from the DVA site that Jackson Fear is competing for a place in the Vic squad. He's a great shot and an inspration to pie-eating archers everywhere. Has his brush with the law been settled?

Yeah this is mine. It was a forum on this site that led to Archery-Forum.com starting.
The key is we have a number of people who do the news reports so I don't have to worry about that as much. (the 3D stuff is all done by the 3D rep for example)

I'm working on catching him, but with me off shooting 3D this weekend and missing a target shoot that won't happen. Next year.

I believe it has been and Jacko is getting his stuff sorted. He is shooting very well too but has moved back to Sydney. He'll shoot for Vic next year though which is great.
I use to shoot against Jacko as a Jr many years ago and he was always tough to beat.

There is only about 5 in our state of a 800 shooters. Maybe 1 or 2 in our club of 180. I can't see that changing.

oh yeah perhaps we can stretch that to all javascript based effects on websites with the exception of important dialog boxes and rollovers.
Oh and music. I hate websites that feel the need to blast greensleeves at you in crappy tones.
Can we also stretch to flash introductions that serve no purpose? I hate those.

One thing I liked about this site is it is obvious Dave knows his webstuff, makes a huge differnce. Good to see a few more also.

Unfortunately I'm in the trade too and my boss insists that I do pointless Flash intro's for our customer's sites
