Back at the end of October, Stowe Archers was proud to host an S3DA Basic Coaching Certification. We had Frank McDonough (PA Regional Coordinator) come out and certify four instructors (2 from Stowe Archers and 2 from LLB S3DA). 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 …

Over the past couple of years, I’ve been telling myself that I need to get out and shoot my bow more often. From the outside, looking in, I’m sure that seems a little silly. You are the President of an Archery Club yet yo don’t shoot – What’s the deal with that? Unfortunately, when you’re involved in a club as an officer of some sort – you tend to do more working than shooting. This year, I was determined to …
Over the weekend, Wapiti Archers of Pennsylvania hosted their monthly 3D Shoot. If you aren’t familiar with the club, Wapiti shoots Outdoor 3D year-round. They are one of the few clubs in the area that not only do it but, do it successfully. On Sunday, we arrived at the club in twenty-degree weather and the parking lot had more than a few cars in it. I was there with my brother, my niece, and my nephew. For me, it had …
As Spring approaches, the Southeast PA Indoor 3D Series is winding down. At Stowe Archers, we are hosting our final leg of the tournament this weekend. I wish I could say that I’ve been keeping busy, shooting at each of the four clubs involved, but that isn’t the case. Last night I shot my 2nd of 8 total events. I won’t qualify for The Showdown but that didn’t deter me from shooting. Actually, the fact that I would be able …
“I can’t believe we don’t have more people shooting. A couple of years ago this parking lot would be full by now. Man, we have got to do something about this…” I wish I could say that comment above was fictional. Unfortunately, it is becoming rather common around the registration desk at Stowe Archers. Our 3D Archery numbers were down again this year and we’re running out of ideas to help boost attendance. If poor turnout were an isolated issue, …
On Sunday, Stowe Archers held our monthly membership meeting. Several members arrived early and were talking amongst themselves when I arrived. The discussion centered around the quality of an area 3D Shoot and the lack of trail markers on the course. As I was getting ready for the meeting I listened to a story one of the members was telling. He and a friend were at a 3D Shoot that wasn’t marked very well. They wound up getting turned around …
