[allen newell]

PGCA Members and non-members are cordially invited to a fun shoot at Addieville East Farm Sunday December 14, 2014. The sporting clays course, one of the best in the North East opens at 9 am.

Arrangements have been made with Addieville for PGCA Members and non-members to shoot the course.

PM me with any questions. This is a fun shoot and opportunity to show off your latest/favorite Parker and/or other double and meet/greet fellow PGCA folks and guests.

BYO lunch etc.:bowdown:

[allen newell]

Please respond to this message if you plan to attend the clays shoot. I've given the folks at Addieville a rough number of attendees, but I would (and they would) appreciate a firmer number to plan for.

Thank you and looking forward to seeing everyone at this fun shoot.

[Jeremy Pinsly]

I'm in!

[Larry Frey]

Allen,
I'll be there as will Deb if the temps are moderate. I have tickets for the UCONN mens basketball game in Hartford that day but I don't think I'll have any problem talking my grandson into taking them off my hands.:)

[allen newell]

What about Edgar, Dave S., Dean, Brian D. etc. etc? George P. ? Frank ?

[Dean Romig]

I think Kathy and I will be there also... weather permitting.

[allen newell]

I think it's weather permitting for all of us. Hopefully, the weather will hold.

[Robin Lewis]

Count me in too.

Question, I have two friends that don't shoot but are interested in giving it a try, my I extend an invitation to them? I don't want to disrupt anyone's shooting but this might be a good introduction to sporting clays for them.

[Dean Romig]

I don't think you could find a better introduction to SC than this group.

[allen newell]

Go ahead Robin, they're absolutely invited!

[Steve Cambria]

I respectfully disagree, Dean. The best introduction to SC is to meet him in person! FOX NATION is in!

Allen, if you wouldn't mind, I'd be happy to roast a few chestnutzzzzz.
Tis the season as they say in "Merry Meridian." :whistle:


PS---If Travinski and Cronin dare to show, I'll consider risking the onslaught of the paparazzi and shoot a Parker. :corn:

[Dean Romig]

I respectfully disagree, Dean. The best introduction to SC is to meet him in person! FOX NATION is in!



:biglaugh: Good one Steve!

[allen newell]

looks like around 20 participants for this fun shoot so far.

[Chris Travinski]

I'll be there, I'm sure Frankie will come also. Steve, don't forget my CE, I'd appreciate it if you clean it before you give it to me.

[Steve Cambria]

Oh, crapola!! Now I have to go find a Parker. What time does K-Mart close?

[Frank Srebro]

I'll be there, I'm sure Frankie will come also. Steve, don't forget my CE, I'd appreciate it if you clean it before you give it to me.

How interesting it is, that disciples of one or the other maker often lust for and go after a FOX :whistle:

[Dean Romig]

There are no FOXES in my menagerie Frank.... not that I would refuse it if someone wanted to give me one.... :clap:

[Frank Cronin]

See you there! Are we shooting in the same squad Stevie?? I'll show you my Sterlingworth "Pin gun". You know, the one that looks like a Parker? I bought it at J.M. Fields before they went out of business. .....

[Chris Travinski]

I have been dying to join the Fox club but Steve keeps telling me no, pretty selfish if you ask me.

[Larry Frey]

How interesting it is, that disciples of one or the other maker often lust for and go after a FOX :whistle:

Frank,
You can't be serious! Between you, Craig, Paul, and Steve all the best Parkers in the Northeast have been bought up. I shot a round of Sporting at Vintagers this year with a couple of serious Fox guys who will go unnamed and you guessed it, they were both shooting Parkers.:)

[Frank Srebro]

Yeah Larry, that was a tongue in cheek comment. There's a story & promise in place on Steve's CE, from Hausmann's this past summer. I agree, some of the Fox boys have been finding nice Parkers of late. Not me ..... but if anyone wants to move a nice original 20 bore Parker with 28" tubes I'd sure appreciate hearing from him. :)

[scott kittredge]

I will see how the duck season is going here in NH. If its slow ,maybe I can catch a ride with Frank C. and go to the shoot too. Scott

[Steve Cambria]

Sounds good, Frank. In the spirit of the holidays perhaps we can make room for Travinski....for ballast of course. Hope you can make it too, Scott.

If I know Robin, he's already printing off another Fox/Parker Love Fest tee-shirt!! I do feel sorry for his two buddies. Talking about a baptism by fire. One day with this crew and they'll be pawning their guns and heading to the nearest golf pro shop!! rotf:

LARRY: Serious Fox guys shooting Parkers? Hearsay. 90-Proof fiction, I assure you!! I'd have to see pictures to believe that one.

[Larry Frey]

Steve,
Check your camera. You took some pictures right behind the fox tables.;)

[Steve Cambria]

I'm assuming the dress code for this Sunday's sortie will be SPORTING FESTIVE with a slight preference towards UGLY XMAS SWEATER???

Sweater courtesy of the George M. Purtill Collection.........:bigbye:

[allen newell]

Dress for the occasion is casual. Breeks and other assorted regalia not required for this classic hardware store gun event. See you gents Sunday at 9 am.

[Dean Romig]

Oh Nuts!!

Now where am I going to find a "hardware store gun" at this late notice??
I may as well stay home - all I have are nice Parkers. A Fox would be a decent hardware store gun but I don't have one of those knock-offs.

[allen newell]

Dean, the gents that I regularly shoot clays with break my stones about my so called "hardware store" guns, and while it is true that many Parkers were sold via these stores for years, they're just a bit jealous that I (we of the Parker community) hold these doubles with near reverence. Anyway, no offense meant by the term. The weather for Sunday's clay shoot looks decent and hopefully we'll have a good turnout. Hope to see you there. Wish I had my GH Damascus back from Brad to use, so will just have to settle with another run o'the mill hardware gun! OMG

[Chris Travinski]

Steve, I hope your going to shave your chest if you commit to that sweater. Too much rustling in the breeze might throw off my game.

[Jeremy Pinsly]

Allen, thanks for setting up today's shoot. Was nice meeting some new faces and shooting with you. Couldn't have asked for better weather!!! Let me know next time you come to Addieville...

[Dean Romig]

We had a great day shooting and visiting with everyone! Weather was excellent... must have gotten into the mid-forties in the sun but the shady areas weren't so nice to stand around in waiting to shoot. Great fun anyway!

The number of pheasants running around the place, dusting in the dirt roads and sipping from the trout pond was incredible. We should have paid for a pheasant hunt - we had the dogs to do it right.

....and we learned who our "dominant" shooters were :shock:

[scott kittredge]

....and we learned who our "dominant" shooters were :shock:[/QUOTE]
And they were ??? :corn:

[Dean Romig]

Nope Scott.... not goin' there :rotf:

[Chris Travinski]

I didn't see Tool Man miss a single target!

[Larry Frey]

Chris,
All his Fox's were probably in the shop for repair and he knew what would happen if he showed up with one of his many Parkers.

[scott kittredge]

I didn't see Tool Man miss a single target!

O no :shock: not the other guys!!

[Chris Travinski]

Now I know how he felt on senior prom night............stood up!:rotf:

[Dave Suponski]

Ya Chris....He seems to do that a lot....:rolleyes: As usual it was great seeing and shooting with everyone.

[Dave Suponski]

Did anyone see Edgar? I must have missed him......:whistle:

[allan.mclane]

A few quick shots from the squad I was in...

A beautiful day to be outside and in the company of such fine ladies and gentlemen!

--Allan

[Steve Cambria]

Sorry gents, had every intention of joining-in the festivities but the Mrs. hit a real manure maelstrom at an event she was managing and I just couldn't bail out on her. Tis the season....

FWIW, I just scheduled an emergency appointment with my ENT doc as oddly enough, my ears have been ringing since about 9:02 am yesterday morning. :rolleyes:

PS--Hey Trav.....love the hoodie. Is that the new "Ghetto Sporting" line from Beretta?

[allen newell]

Thanks Jeremy, I enjoyed meeting and shooting with you. great fun and what a nice day. sorry I ha to bolt out a 11 am, but didn't want to miss the Pats game! Will keep you posted on upcoming events. All the best.

[John Dallas]

"Manure Maelstrom" - Great!

[Chris Travinski]

Yes it is, you didn't see them right next to the Obama sweaters? Anyhow, I was truly disappointed you didn't show. I don't want to rub it in too much, but it turned out to be a great day. We'll try again in April.

[allan.mclane]

Chris ran a clinic that demonstrated just how far out a full choke 20 gauge with 30" barrels can reach. Nice shooting!

[Steve Cambria]

God help us. Was this a reenactment of George Digweed's 110 yard, rising teal shot in the Addieville parking lot???

I had the pleasure of being trapped in a hot, stuffy office and watching in awe (for three-plus hours) as several thousand crows returned to the Hartford roost, in groups of 5 to 10. Ohhhhh, my kingdom for a Super Fox and a casement window!!! :crying:
