The challenge will begin at 2pm SHARP on Sat, Sept 8th. Let's show those Euro shooters what the Yanks can do with those guns made in the USA.

Thanks,
Daryl

PS- I'm looking to get a good representation of American made guns especially those made by, but not limited to, the guns made by A.H Fox.

KICK EUROTRASH DUPA!!!!!!

I'm sure you'll have some Parker, Ithaca, Winchester and Smith guns on the line. Fox? Not many competitors shoot Fox guns. Just sayin'. :corn:

"8. Top 6 scores from each group, 12 total American and Euro, will make the cut and the remaining 8 shooters will be randomly drawn to give every shooter a chance to participate."

There ya go again with participation prizes instead of merit. :banghead: :cuss:

Another idea from Tool Man?

There will be at least 4 guys I know of shooting Foxes. It's called the Fox International Challenge for a good reason. Too bad you can't be there to shoot one of your Parker Target Smasher "custom" Koneski guns. We will miss you but will carry on to show American superiority, particularly with those Philly guns.:):bigbye: We still love you.:bowdown:

No not Tool Man but from the VGC organizer. She's hoping to get a few female shooters involved. Things could change for 2024 depending on how things work out. You could always declare you are a female and TRY to qualify.:rotf::shock:

It is what it is , but I kinda thought “North America vs The World” a better name for it . Leads one to believe everyone here shoots those Fox hardware store guns :rotf:

As far as I am concerned there is America and then the "rest of the world". European pretty much covers the rest of the world as far as guns are concerned.

Fox hardware store guns? Maybe Chucky B. could chime in on how many Parkers were sold in hardware stores. I didn't see anyone here suggesting a Parker International Challenge.:):whistle:

Just bring one of your Parkers Craig and have fun. We're here to best the Euros, no matter what you shoot. Although it would be much classier to shoot a gun sponsored by Philly's best.:bigbye:

😏✌🏻👍🏻

I’ll be there in spirit. When y’all step up on the Challenge line, remember my words of encouragement, “Don’t suck!!” :rotf:

Great idea Big Guy. If you could forward a short video clip of you chanting that and dressed in your cigar scented Hawaiian shirt, I'll play it on a loop at the 5 stand for encouragement of the Yankee shooters.:bigbye:
