Over the Christmas Holidays I spoke to Dan Andrews at Drake Landing, and he mentioned a conversation that he had with the local Barbour Clothing rep. Dan told him that we've had a pretty good group of side by side shooters showing up before and during the Spring Southern event to shoot at his club. Dan asked me if he and Barbour sponsored a shoot for us, how many people I thought would attend? This would not be a PGCA sanctioned event, but between the three collector organizations I believe we had over 20 shooters come out last year. My suggestion to Dan was that if we did this, I thought we should do something the Thursday before the Southern starts, so as not to interfere with the main event. While there is a group of us who have shot there all four days over the past two years, I wouldn't want to organize anything official that would compete with the Southern or participation in the Parker/LC Smith challenge.

So, I put it to you guys who have probably already started to think about plans for this year. Would you make the trip a day early to do some shooting at Drake Landing? While I know it will be tough to do, I would like to see what kind of commitment I could give him on attendance. I'm planning to post this same message on the Fox Collectors site as well. For those of you who have shot at his club, you know Dan has done a lot for us, and this is just taking it to the next level.
