Thanks John. They do call it the "Challenge" for a reason. I think the agreement between the Fox gentlemen and the Parker gentlemen to go ahead with the Challenge truly exemplifies what this is all about. And I use the term gentlemen in the most respectable way. You are correct in that Fox may have lost by 3 targets but it will be the most memorable shootoff I've ever been in. We'll be talking about this one when we are in our rockers on the front porch.
Also thanks for the compliment on the 20 gauges. I've never felt handicapped with just 3/4 oz. of shot and I think that Allan felt the same way although he may have been shooting 7/8 oz. You dance with the girl you brought.
I'm a Fox and a Parker guy. I just want to see this tradition carry on and as Parker had never won the Challenge until now, congratulations.
But I must tell you there are rumors about our 5th shooter being detained by a high ranking Parker official somewhere in the dense woods around station 9. Can't confirm that but the local Sheriff is investigating the grisly details.
