Here is our crew: Sara Lefever(Lefever G 16), Pete Lester(Parker 12 skeet), Ken Snyder (Lefever Optimus 10 ga), me(Greener sidelever hammer), and Kurt Snyder(Lefever F 12)

I was glad to hear that Ken got to shoot the Optimus. He said he shot it well! I like it!

Brian, Ken's Optimus is a gorgeous gun thanks to your and Ken's efforts, and others too compared to what it looked like 4 years ago.

You did a fantastic job.

Maybe a picture or two to share?

"The prettier the gun, the better the shooting" could be true here. :)

That was a good squad and great day. Sara shot well again Saturday in the main event and was the Runner-Up among the Lady shooters.

I think Ken became another advocate of the 19 grains of Red Dot pushing 1 1/8 ounce of shot in the Short Ten. He was having a ball.

Is Ken's Optimus the one that Bill Wise brought home from England? I hope I have my details right.

Bill,
I know the one you're talking about but this is a different gun.
Best,
Ken

Any news were the VC will be held next year?

From my understanding there was a 3 year agreement to have it at Ernies.
Due to Covid, this would be the third year, but second event. So I would guess it will be there again next year.

It’s supposed to be at Ernie’s.
