Right before Halloween, we had ourselves a little party for the kids after our Monday Night Youth Program. One of the parents baked cupcakes and brought in all sorts of goodies – including Halloween Themed Targets. At the end of the night, the kids were all sugared up and on their way home.

A couple of months ago, the Stowe Archers 50-Meter League came to an end and there was a bit of a lull in my shooting. Like I always do when I’m between seasons, I contemplated making changes for the upcoming shooting season.
