For those of you that missed this event, let me tell you if you are a shooter, this is the best shooting venue I've ever attended. Mike, his wife Susan, and his crew really did it up right. Fantastic targets and three courses. Large bore (10,12), small bore (32,24, 28 and .410) and mid bore (20,16). We had great weather, interesting vendors and a great cocktail/ouerderve event on Sat. thanks to Larry, Deb. Chuck, Dean and Dave. Geo. Purtil, Mike Smith and I shot our butts off (a total of around 26 rounds give or take a few).

I really enjoy the Southern, Ernie's is fun, but this event has the potential to be THE premier SxS event in the northeast. Mike gave out great trophies and could'nt have been a better host. Kudos to you Mike, Susan and crew. Thanks for a great 4 days of shooting and a wonderful food concession. (Those of you who were there will know what I mean.)

Stoats Rule!

Thanks to all you guys/gals who made this a great weekend for us!! Just FYI, we're already planning the 2016 event and it will most likely be the last weekend of September, the traditional weekend some of us have been accustomed to.

Mike & Susan,

We sincerely hope this was a worthwhile endeavor for you. Judging by your announcement of plans for 2016, I would guess it was somewhat better than "break even" for you.
That's good! You deserve it - you all put your heart and souls (and sweat) into it.

I'll make a special place for them if I can't find space.

Thanks Mike!

I had a blast. Shot so much my shoulder hurts. The course was as good as I remembered it this spring , shooting on Sunday after Ernie's. The trappers were the most polite and courteous I have ever encountered, the machines worked well, there was only one goddamn rabbit station(!!!!!), the food was excellent, the serving staff was an eyeful, and the physical plant is top notch.
The PGCA was well represented. Dave did his usual great job with our tables. I got to see and fondle some of the PGCA archives- wow- John Browning's AH Parker. Breathtaking.
And it was great to see old friends, even our cross dressing Fox opponents.
As soon as you give us the date Mike, its going in my calendar. Hurry up.

Thank you Mike and Susan for putting on such a great event. It takes a tremendous amount of work and you and your staff did a great job. Deb and I look forward to shooting this event next year.

At our Saturday evening social the winning ticket for the 2015 Raffle Gun was drawn and PGCA member George Bagley from Georgia was the lucky winner. I would like to thank Jeff Kuss for donating the beautiful GH Damascus gun and also Ed Morgan for doing such a great job once again running this successful fundraiser.

Mike you and Susan should be commended on putting on a fabulous event. For a first year event I thought it was wonderful. All the courses were very well laid out and the targets were perfect for us SxS shooters. Your facility is one of the best I have shot here in the Northeast. The food and scenery was wonderful.... Ah hell....I can't say enough good things about this shoot except that we will be back next year! Can't wait.....

I know it is very early after the shoot but would someone please post some additional pictures when they get a chance. Much appreciated.


Sounds like a great time was had by all. I truly hope to make it to the 2016 event.

Congratulations team Parker.

Congratulations to Mike and Susan!!!
