The other day I was shooting the Stowe Archers 50-Meter League with my teammate when we got to talking about our bow setups. We both shoot an Elite Victory 39 with 6x scopes. I shoot a Viper with a fiber optic pin and my partner uses what I believe is a Shrewd with a dot. “So, with your scope what exactly can you see with your clarifier setup?” “The target is so clear that I can make out the scoring …

This time last month, I stepped up to the line and shot my first Indoor 3D Shoot of the season. At the time, I hadn’t made many changes to my 2011 Elite Pulse and I shot a personal best. Earlier today I stepped up to the line once again and shot my second Indoor 3D Shoot of the season. I wish I could say the result was as good as last month. Unfortunately, I struggled in several areas. My biggest …
Over the past several weeks, I’ve shared a few blog posts that focused on my daughter and I shooting archery together. We’ve both been having a great time at Stowe Archers, however, I’ve been feeling a bit guilty. While the two of us go to the archery club, my wife is usually back home with the new baby.

I started with a concept, molded it, revised it, and I just recently crossed the point of no return. I have ordered targets and began marketing the Stowe Archers Paper Animal Point Series. There has been a glimmer of interest in the early phases and I’m really hoping that it carries through and shooter turnout is decent. …
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been pouring a lot of time and effort into the idea of starting up a Paper Animal Series at my local archery club. I tried to model it after the old Keystone Federation shoots and the more time I spent working on the project, the more excited I became. There is one aspect of the event that I’ve been avoiding – the finances. It hasn’t been nearly as fun but I’ve spent the …
Ever since posting about the Modified Animal Round that I’ve been working on, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to some of the issues I’m facing. Most notably, how many shooting positions am I willing to pound into the ground before a given shoot? I approached my father with my dilemma. Like my Grandfather, my Father was also very involved in Wapiti Archers at one point in time. He no longer shoots but he is a wealth of information …
