Dear PGCA and Lefever Collectors,

We want to thank you all so much for the investment that both associations have put into youth shooting! The youth shoot at the Southern Side by Side this past weekend seemed to be a big success and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing youth competing with side by side shotguns. We brought down two youth shooters of our own from Lynchburg, Virginia. Bobby Fariss, age 14, and Harrison Fariss, age 10. They shot in the event and had a blast! They shot very well and look forward to coming back next year. Bobby and Harrison are both members of a local SCTP (Scholastic Clay Target Program) youth shotgun team. However, this was their first ever competition experience while shooting side by side shotguns. Next year we hope to see the event grow even more and we plan to spread the word and bring more participants from our local SCTP team.

Thank you again so much to the PGCA for donating a beautiful gun that was given away. Thank you as well to Lefever Collectors for donating a $100 gift certificate that was also given away. I cannot express the joy that it brings me to see youth fall in love with the shooting sports and with side by side shotguns and to be a part of it is the greatest reward of all!

Sincerely,
Mark and Jon Britton
