Default Vintage Cup 2014

Ray has done it again. As always, everyone in the world knows when and where the Vintage Cup will be held, but the Vintagers website says nothing about it. Does anyone know when and where?

I understand that nine months is a long way away, but we all know that Ray knows when it is going to be. Some years, he hasn't posted dates on the Vintagers site three months ahead of the shoot. I emailed him and hope to get a reply.

Mr Murphy,

Myself and others have tried to contact Ray P.
No luck recently.
Melanie said they were in negotiations but that was months ago.

I did hear that it may be done and not to repeat in 2014. But that has not been confirmed.

Rick, I also noticed that Addieville's website doesn't mention the Vintagers, either 2013 or 2014. That may be a clue. I wonder if the PGCA BOD will make a decision that doesn't include Addieville if Ray doesn't get off the pot fairly soon. I really like the Fall Southern and Rick Hemingway. At some time in the future, the Eastern Panhandle Shoot will be in the running. There are a boatload of Parkers close by.

Rick Hemmingway has also not announced a date for the 2014 Fall Southern nor is there any mention of it on Backwoods or Deep River web sights. I asked if they were having it again and did not get an answer. I did hear though that a double gun event at Drakes Landing, NC, was in the works for the last weekend in Sept.

It sounded like there were too many fall double gun events in 2013 and probably not a bad thing that some are thinning out. Drake's is a more central location than Backwoods or Addieville

The reason that Rick Hemingway does not announce early in the year is that he has had the SC State NSCA shoot for several years, and last year, had the NSCA U.S. Open, which are more important to him than the Fall Southern and their schedules are not always engraved in stone early on. Rick not only does his best to schedule as early as he can, he also moved the Fall Southern up to accommodate bird and waterfowl hunters who complained about the original scheduling. Attend the Eastern Panhandle Shoot this year and see what you think about the location and the facility for the PGCA meeting. I will have a date for you very soon. Look for it here.
