On Tuesday night, I was over at Stowe Archers Club to run the 450 League Finals. My Team was knocked out early so I had a lot of time to kill as the other teams shot head to head. As I was standing off to the side, watching the shooting, one of the long time members asked me if I wanted to give their Barebow a try. I had been toying with the idea of getting into Barebow Archery and …

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.

The practical portion of the class was excellent and I personally learned a lot about coaching positions and things to look out for. Since then, Stowe Archers has rolled out an S3DA Program with Mike Schelpf as the Head Coach and …
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 …
