Thoughts of an Archery Mom:
With all this snow, my mind turns to the Outdoor Archery Season:
☀️ Sunny days
🚗 Road trips
🏹 Chatting with other Parents
📍 Tent, chairs & my trusty wagon
🍎 And, a “snacklebox” arbitrarily able to feed:
8 Archers
5 Spectators
and, 1 wandering judge
Very excited to present a workshop about finding your niche at PodCamp 2026 in Toronto.
Join me at noon on Sat. Feb 28.

The 2026 Lancaster Classic had to end a day early, but what a show it was. It was our 9th time. It only gets better and better every year. What a privilege it has been to watch the growth.
If you have the Classic on your Bucket List, consider it for 2027. Accomodation blocks are already open.
It’s Day 1 of the 2026 Lancaster Classic with over 3200 Archers registered.
The first of five Qualification Rounds has begun.
Follow your favourite Archers on IANSEO.
It’s time for the 2026 Lancaster Classic.
Have you been before, is it on your Bucket List, or are you attending this year?
Let me know in the comments.
Heading to Lancaster this week?
1. Prep for cold weather. Bring extra layers.
2. If renting a car:
A) Request winter tires. Note: it doesn’t always happen. It is an extra $10-$40/day.
B) Bring your own snowbrush. The snowbrushes rental companies provide often look like a very old toothbrush. 🪥
Exciting news! I finally got Reece, my Archer, on the podcast to talk about something most parents (including me) don’t think about when their Archer starts: SHOES.
After 10+ years and 12-15 pairs tried, he’s got thoughts.
