Ok, no arguement there but for the fact that the Vintagers and Fox/Parker Challenge weren’t at Addieville in 2012... to the best of my recollection.

Here's a short summary of our shooting events & results at this year's Vintage Cup at Addieville. 2012 Ansley H Fox Championship Ansley H Fox Champion: Chuck DeVinne with a score of 49 ex 50, using a 12 gauge 26" AE Fox FE Grade Winner: Jim Kline with a score of 44, using a 12 gauge 32" Sterlingworth DE Grade Winner: Frank Srebro also with a score of 44, using a 12 gauge 32" AE Fox Jim and Frank both shot the same score (44 ex 50) and the 2nd/3rd places were decided by Addieville staff using Winscore software and tie breaker stations Special note is also made that Chuck was High Over All in the American Classics. This is (I believe) the first time the American Classics HOA was won using an A H Fox gun. There were 74 entrants in the American Classics event. 2012 Fox-Parker Challenge Team Fox carried the day with a score of 219 ex 250 targets, versus 201 for Team Parker. A total of 46 shooters participated in the Fox-Parker Challenge concurrent with the American Classics event. This included 19 Fox shooters and 27 Parker shooters. Team Fox: Chuck DeVinne 49, Jim Kline 44, Frank Srebro 44, Bill Sanford 42 and Paul Plunkett 40 Team Parker: Carl Harlan 47, Dave Fjelline 40, Larry Frey 40, George Purtill 37 and Raymond Roy 37 The A H Fox Collectors Board of Directors wish to sincerely thank all our members and our Parker colleagues who participated in this exciting first-time concurrent. It's always nice to shoot with friends while using both fine examples of American gunmaking at its best! The Parker Association hosted a very nice reception afterwards at their booth, and we thank our friends for their largesse and warmth. |

TOUCHE Dean-O.... but as Frank so aptly recalled, those were the "DE FACTO DAYS" long before the FPC Cup became the official registry for this beloved contest.
Regarding my shooting prowess: I believe Bogardus and Gilbert would be green with envy on the skill required to insert an ounce of 8's between two moving targets at that distance with such surgical precision!!! The fact that I can repeat that feat on most any course,------with Fox or Parker in hand---should silence the legions of "cranks" that for some odd reason take great pleasure in heckling me at every opportunity!!

Yes sir, that’s a fine lot of Philly Fox dandies. I’ll just look where the crowd has gathered. I’m kinda hard to notice. A wallflower type. But here’s a close up so if you see me please say hello.
