In just a few short days, this little blog of mine will turn ten years old. It seems strange to me that I’ve been blogging here for nearly a decade. It started as a creative outlet for me to put things that just didn’t fit over on Stogie Review. WaltInPA has gone through a variety of changes throughout the years.

Back in January, the 2018 Stowe Archers 450 League kicked off for three months of head to head matchups. This was my third year running the league and things were looking up from the start.

Ever since my 7 year old daughter told me that she wanted to make Archery Videos for Youtube – we’ve been trying to come up with fun ideas for both instructional videos as well challenges that we could do together. In this installment of Natalie’s Archery Adventures, we decided to repurpose the old “Cut The Rope” Challenge. You’ve probably seen it done a million times on TV, mostly done with a bullet and a gun. The idea is to send …
