You did good Mills....

She's a looker Mills.:bowdown:

An end of an era has taken place. Since the beginning of the challenge the Southern has provided me with a new gun (once it was a rifle but a nice Pre 64 M70) or two. this year however nothing followed me home:crying::crying::crying: but there are two candidates that are in the wings:whistle:

Mills, what's the deal with the graded checkering on your new gun? What does the order card say about it? Who was the seller? OK, now I'll give you a rest.

Bill, The gun was featured in Frank Srebro's article in the AHFCA journal, I think Spring 2009. Check it out.

The shooting at Drakes was the best. Thanks Rich for putting it together. I know I will be back next year. I had a great southern, sold the vhe and che. Came home with a great super fox and a first edition of The Wilderness Hunter by TR. Met a bunch of new fox collectors and signed up many new members. Hope to see most everyone at Hausmanns.

Well, I guess not everybody from Wheeling shoots as bad as me. Apparently the 16 and 20 ga events were won by a gentleman from Wheeling. The 16 event was won with a borrowed Sterlingworth and the 20 ga with a Russian
Bakhail. I had talked to this group on Friday at the Southern and on Sat they came up to Drake's Landing--they were blown away with the courses and stated that they would be back to Drakes next year.
On a side note. Cabela's Wheeling has a display with 3 CE Foxes (12, 16, 20), and their factory letters--yes they are for sale @ $59,999.
Looking forward to seeing everybody again at Hausmann's.
