First and foremost, let me say HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2012 has been a roller-coaster ride, filled with ups and downs. I was given my first opportunity to review a product from a major ammunition retailer, I worked out a series of contests for autographed books, and I managed to piss off one of the biggest photographers in the shooting world
. All in all, it has been a pretty good year.
In addition to this being New Years Day, it also happens to be the 4 Year Anniversary of WaltInPA. I started this blog as a New Years Resolution and it has gone through a couple of evolutions over the years. It started out as a place for random musings. Next it became a place to share creative writings. The last evolution came two years ago when I decided to switch to a firearms format.
The last evolution was probably the best blog decision I’ve ever made. I’m genuinely happy with the way things have turned out and I look forward to what 2013 brings. I have a handful of ideas that I would like to implement this year and I’m confident that they will be well received.
With the new year upon us, I’d like to spend a little time looking back at 2012. I’ve spent a little time gathering up a number of blog posts. Below you’ll find two lists. The first is a breakdown of my ten favorite posts from 2012 (ordered from oldest to newest). The second list is made up of the ten most popular posts viewed in 2012 (ordered in a countdown fashion to the most popular).

Happy New Year to you also Walt! 2012 was a fantastic year for IDPA in general. I would be remiss if I did not mention that meeting you this past year was a true delight, and reading your posts on this site are fantastic. I first learned of the site when the FTDR penalty was given out at our club, and I must say that the posts that it generated put a different spin on the situation. As a MD, I must always remember that i am never going to make everyone happy, and sometimes stuff like that happens. Your site is a great place to come and vent about things, or to post some new ideas for the shooting communitity. Keep up the great work Walt! This is an awesome site!
Dave,
Thanks for the kind words. It was a pleasure meeting you in 2012 and I look forward to everything you have in store for us at Ontelaunee.
